How we approach dome rooflights in Lichfield
Thinking about dome rooflights in Lichfield? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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 schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
From Lichfield to Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
Things we check at survey
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Lichfield
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Lichfield: questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lichfield?
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 Lichfield?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
