Dome rooflights in Bordon: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Bordon? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Bordon, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Bordon is around 44 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the GU35 district.
Specification options
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
What to check first
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Bordon
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.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
How do I book a survey in Bordon?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bordon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
