How we approach dome rooflights in Eltham
We handle dome rooflights across Greater London, including Eltham. 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.
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. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Greater London, including Eltham, and in neighbouring towns such as Blackheath and Welling. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Low cost per unit
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
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 Eltham
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.

Dome rooflights in Eltham: 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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 Eltham?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Eltham and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Eltham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
