How we approach dome rooflights in Hornchurch
Our dome rooflights service in Hornchurch covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
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.
Hornchurch is around 24 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the RM11 district.

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