Dome rooflights for Brixton: the essentials
For Brixton homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Greater London, including Brixton, and in neighbouring towns such as Clapham and Dulwich. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Brixton project
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Before you order: points to check
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Brixton
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Brixton
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
