What do dome rooflights in Stockport involve?
We handle dome rooflights across Greater Manchester, including Stockport. 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Stockport to Hazel Grove, Cheadle Hulme and Denton, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Before you order: points to check
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Rules and responsibilities in Stockport
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. 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
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 domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can you work alongside my builder in Stockport?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
