Dome rooflights for Ormskirk: the essentials
Thinking about dome rooflights in Ormskirk? 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Maghull (7 km) and Skelmersdale (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Things we check at survey

- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Ormskirk
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
