Dome rooflights for Selby: the essentials
For Selby homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We work across North Yorkshire, including Selby, and in neighbouring towns such as Goole and Pontefract. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Low cost per unit
- Smoke-vent versions available
What to check first
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Selby
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Selby: questions
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
How do I book a survey in Selby?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Selby?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
