How we approach dome rooflights in Camborne
Dome rooflights in Camborne means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the TR14 district and the rest of Cornwall, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. In Camborne, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We work across Cornwall, including Camborne, and in neighbouring towns such as Redruth and Falmouth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Camborne project
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin

- Smoke-vent versions available
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Rules and responsibilities in Camborne
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. 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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Camborne: questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
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 work alongside my builder in Camborne?
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 Camborne?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
