Dome rooflights for Crowborough: the essentials
We handle dome rooflights across East Sussex, including Crowborough. 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Crowborough sits about 11 km from Tunbridge Wells and 14 km from East Grinstead, and we cover the whole TN6 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Crowborough
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- 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 Crowborough
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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Crowborough
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.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Crowborough?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Crowborough and across East Sussex. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
