Dome rooflights in Eastleigh: what is involved?
We handle dome rooflights across Hampshire, including Eastleigh. 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.
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.
Jobs in Eastleigh are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Options we can specify in Eastleigh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Eastleigh
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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Eastleigh
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
How do I book a survey in Eastleigh?
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 Eastleigh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
