Dome rooflights in Faversham: what is involved?
We handle dome rooflights across Kent, including Faversham. 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Faversham sits about 11 km from Whitstable and 11 km from Sittingbourne, and we cover the whole ME13 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Faversham project
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh

Things we check at survey
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Building control and safety duties in Faversham
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Faversham: 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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Faversham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Faversham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
