What do dome rooflights in Exmouth involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Exmouth 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 cottages, slate roofs and conservation areas are common in the South West, and conservation-profile rooflights keep the roofline quiet. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Exmouth to Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Low cost per unit
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Exmouth
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. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
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 Exmouth: questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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.
