Dome rooflights for Bromley: the essentials
For Bromley 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.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Bromley is around 15 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the BR1 district.
What you can choose
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
Things we check at survey
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Bromley
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Bromley?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Bromley and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bromley?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
