What do dome rooflights in Sittingbourne involve?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Sittingbourne? 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. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We work across Kent, including Sittingbourne, and in neighbouring towns such as Faversham and Gillingham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Twin, triple or quad skin

Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit

Rules and responsibilities in Sittingbourne
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Sittingbourne: questions
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Sittingbourne?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Sittingbourne?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
