How we approach dome rooflights in Aberystwyth
We handle dome rooflights across Dyfed, including Aberystwyth. In short: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We work across Dyfed, including Aberystwyth, and in neighbouring towns such as Machynlleth and Dolgellau. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Aberystwyth project
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- 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 Aberystwyth
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 non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about dome rooflights in Aberystwyth
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberystwyth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Aberystwyth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
