How we approach dome rooflights in Havant
Thinking about dome rooflights in Havant? 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Waterlooville (4 km) and Portsmouth (10 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
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
Building control and safety duties in Havant
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 Havant
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Havant?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
