Dome rooflights for Barnstaple: the essentials
Thinking about dome rooflights in Barnstaple? 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.
Stone cottages, slate roofs and conservation areas are common in the South West, and conservation-profile rooflights keep the roofline quiet. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Barnstaple sits about 13 km from Bideford and 44 km from Tiverton, and we cover the whole EX31 postcode district and the roads in between.

Questions about dome rooflights in Barnstaple
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Barnstaple?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Barnstaple and across Devon. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in Barnstaple?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
