What do dome rooflights in Stalybridge involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Stalybridge covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. In Stalybridge, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.

Building control and safety duties in Stalybridge
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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Stalybridge
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Stalybridge?
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 Stalybridge?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Stalybridge and across Greater Manchester. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
