Dome rooflights in Andover: what is involved?
For Andover 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Andover to Winchester, Newbury and Salisbury, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Andover
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
Before you order: points to check
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Andover
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
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 work alongside my builder in Andover?
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 Andover?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
