How we approach dome rooflights in Aldershot
Our dome rooflights service in Aldershot 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Aldershot sits about 5 km from Farnham and 5 km from Farnborough, and we cover the whole GU11 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Aldershot project
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted

Things we check at survey
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Aldershot
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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. 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
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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Aldershot?
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 Aldershot?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
