What do dome rooflights in Wymondham involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Wymondham 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.
Neighbouring towns include Norwich (14 km) and Diss (21 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin

- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Smoke-vent versions available
What to check first
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Wymondham
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wymondham?
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 Wymondham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
