Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.

Questions about dome rooflights in Tewkesbury
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Tewkesbury?
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 Tewkesbury?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
