How we approach dome rooflights in Ealing
We handle dome rooflights across Greater London, including Ealing. 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.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow side returns are typical of much of London, and a glass roof or long flat rooflight is the usual way to keep the back rooms bright once the return is built over. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
From Ealing to Southall, Greenford and Isleworth, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Ealing
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Ealing
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about dome rooflights in Ealing
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
