Dome rooflights in Wrexham: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Wrexham? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We cover all of Wrexham and the LL13 district, and nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.

Before you order: points to check

Building control and safety duties in Wrexham
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wrexham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wrexham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
