Dome rooflights for Leatherhead: the essentials
Thinking about dome rooflights in Leatherhead? 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. In Leatherhead, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Epsom (6 km) and Ewell (8 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Options we can specify in Leatherhead
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands

Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit

Rules and responsibilities in Leatherhead
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.

Dome rooflights in Leatherhead: questions
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.
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 you fit dome rooflights in Leatherhead?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Leatherhead and across Surrey. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Leatherhead?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
