Dome rooflights in Wilmslow: what is involved?
For Wilmslow homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
From Wilmslow to Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove and Altrincham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Wilmslow
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Things we check at survey
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Wilmslow
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Wilmslow: questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
How do I book a survey in Wilmslow?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wilmslow?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
