What do dome rooflights in Ashton-under-Lyne involve?
For Ashton-under-Lyne homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Ashton-under-Lyne to Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Ashton-under-Lyne
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Things we check at survey
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Regulations for dome rooflights in Ashton-under-Lyne
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Ashton-under-Lyne: questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Ashton-under-Lyne?
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 Ashton-under-Lyne?
