How we approach dome rooflights in Peckham
Dome rooflights in Peckham means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the SE15 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Lewisham (3 km) and Brixton (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Building control and safety duties in Peckham
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about dome rooflights in Peckham
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
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.
