Dome rooflights for Pimlico: the essentials
We handle dome rooflights across Greater London, including Pimlico. 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 schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Jobs in Pimlico are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Choices for your Pimlico project
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Smoke-vent versions available
What to check first
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Pimlico
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can you work alongside my builder in Pimlico?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Pimlico?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Pimlico and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
