What do dome rooflights in Bodmin involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Bodmin covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Cornwall, including Bodmin, and in neighbouring towns such as St Austell and Newquay. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Bodmin project
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Regulations for dome rooflights in Bodmin
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.

Dome rooflights in Bodmin: questions
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 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.
