Dome rooflights in Tenby: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Tenby? 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.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Pembroke Dock (16 km) and Haverfordwest (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Rules and responsibilities in Tenby
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Tenby: 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.
