How we approach dome rooflights in Scarborough
We handle dome rooflights across North Yorkshire, including Scarborough. 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. In Scarborough, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Bridlington (26 km) and Hornsea (44 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Before you order: points to check
- Fire classification matters on some roofs

Building control and safety duties in Scarborough
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.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
How do I book a survey in Scarborough?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Scarborough?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
