Dome rooflights in Epsom: what is involved?
For Epsom 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Epsom are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Choices for your Epsom project
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Low cost per unit
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
What to check first
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Epsom
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Epsom
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Epsom?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Epsom and across Surrey. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Epsom?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
