What do dome rooflights in Burnham-on-Sea involve?
Dome rooflights in Burnham-on-Sea means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the TA8 district and the rest of Somerset, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Weston-super-Mare (12 km) and Bridgwater (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Common questions
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 you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
