Dome rooflights in Norwich: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Norwich 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.
Coastal towns in the East of England see salty air, so we specify frame finishes and fixings with exposure in mind. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We cover all of Norwich and the NR1 district, and nearby Wymondham and Great Yarmouth.
What you can choose
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Things we check at survey
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Rules and responsibilities in Norwich
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

Dome rooflights in Norwich: 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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
