Dome rooflights in Cromer: what is involved?
We handle dome rooflights across Norfolk, including Cromer. 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.
Coastal towns in the East of England see salty air, so we specify frame finishes and fixings with exposure in mind. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Cromer is around 34 km from Norwich, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Norfolk, including the NR27 district.
Choices for your Cromer project
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Cromer
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Cromer: questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Cromer?
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 Cromer?
