Dome rooflights for Swadlincote: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Swadlincote 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
From Swadlincote to Burton upon Trent, Coalville and Derby, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs

Dome rooflights in Swadlincote: questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Swadlincote?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
