Dome rooflights for Burnley: the essentials
We handle dome rooflights across Lancashire, including Burnley. 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Burnley sits about 4 km from Nelson and 8 km from Colne, and we cover the whole BB11 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Smoke-vent versions available
Things we check at survey
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Burnley
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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 Burnley
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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Burnley?
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 Burnley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
