What do dome rooflights in Horley involve?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Horley? 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Crawley (7 km) and Redhill (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Dome rooflights in Horley: questions
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 replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
