Dome rooflights for Shepherds Bush: the essentials
We handle dome rooflights across Greater London, including Shepherds Bush. 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. In Shepherds Bush, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Shepherds Bush to Notting Hill, Hammersmith and Kensington, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Shepherds Bush
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Low cost per unit
- Light, impact-resistant domes
Before you order: points to check
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Shepherds Bush
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about dome rooflights in Shepherds Bush
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
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 replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Shepherds Bush?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Shepherds Bush?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Shepherds Bush and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
