Dome rooflights in Slough means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the SL1 district and the rest of Berkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.

Questions about dome rooflights in Slough
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Slough?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Slough?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
