What do dome rooflights in Kendal involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Kendal 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.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Ulverston (27 km) and Morecambe (30 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate or acrylic

What to check first

Building control and safety duties in Kendal
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. 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 Kendal: 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.
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.
