How we approach dome rooflights in Esher
Our dome rooflights service in Esher covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Esher, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Surrey, including Esher, and in neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames and Hampton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Esher
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Esher
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Esher?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Esher?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
