Dome rooflights in Hyde: what is involved?
We handle dome rooflights across Greater Manchester, including Hyde. 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.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Hyde, and in neighbouring towns such as Denton and Dukinfield. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Hyde
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Low cost per unit
Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Hyde
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

How the job runs
- Tell us what you have. Send the SK14 postcode, a rough size and a couple of photos.
- Measure and check. A surveyor visits Hyde, measures and checks structure and access.
- Agree the quote. You approve the specification and price before anything is ordered.
- Installation day. Usually one day into a prepared opening, longer for new openings.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 Hyde?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Hyde?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
