What do dome rooflights in Godalming involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Godalming 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Godalming, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Guildford (6 km) and Aldershot (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Choices for your Godalming project
- Polycarbonate or acrylic

- Fall-through protection mesh

What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit

Building control and safety duties in Godalming
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
