Dome rooflights for Wandsworth: the essentials
Thinking about dome rooflights in Wandsworth? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Wandsworth to Battersea, Chelsea and Fulham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Low cost per unit
Things we check at survey
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Regulations for dome rooflights in Wandsworth
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
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 Wandsworth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Wandsworth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
