What do dome rooflights in Basingstoke involve?
For Basingstoke 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Basingstoke is around 46 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the RG21 district.

Building control and safety duties in Basingstoke
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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 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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Basingstoke?
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 Basingstoke?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
