How we approach dome rooflights in Hastings
Our dome rooflights service in Hastings 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Hastings sits about 8 km from Bexhill-on-Sea and 23 km from Hailsham, and we cover the whole TN34 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Hastings
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin

What to check first
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked

Building control and safety duties in Hastings
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 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 Hastings: questions
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.
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
