How we approach dome rooflights in Leominster
Our dome rooflights service in Leominster covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Leominster sits about 17 km from Ludlow and 19 km from Hereford, and we cover the whole HR6 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Fall-through protection mesh

Before you order: points to check
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Regulations for dome rooflights in Leominster
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Leominster: questions
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 Leominster?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Leominster?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
