How we approach dome rooflights in Uxbridge
Dome rooflights in Uxbridge means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the UB8 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Greater London, including Uxbridge, and in neighbouring towns such as Ruislip and Hayes. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Twin, triple or quad skin

Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Building control and safety duties in Uxbridge
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. 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
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can you work alongside my builder in Uxbridge?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Uxbridge?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
