How we approach dome rooflights in Nottingham
For Nottingham 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Nottingham is the main town we list in Nottinghamshire; we also cover nearby West Bridgford and Arnold.

What to check first
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Building control and safety duties in Nottingham
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. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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.

The process, step by step
- Tell us what you have. Send the NG1 postcode, a rough size and a couple of photos.
- Measure and check. A surveyor visits Nottingham, measures and checks structure and access.
- Agree the quote. You approve the specification and price before anything is ordered.
- Installation day. Usually one day into a prepared opening, longer for new openings.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can you work alongside my builder in Nottingham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Nottingham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
