Dome rooflights in Farnborough: what is involved?
For Farnborough 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. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Camberley (5 km) and Aldershot (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Farnborough
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.

Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
