How we approach dome rooflights in Accrington
Our dome rooflights service in Accrington 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Rawtenstall (8 km) and Blackburn (8 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Building control and safety duties in Accrington
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
