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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you work alongside my builder in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
