How we approach dome rooflights in Port Talbot
For Port Talbot 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.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Port Talbot is around 12 km from Swansea, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Glamorgan, including the SA12 district.
Options we can specify in Port Talbot
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Port Talbot
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. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about dome rooflights in Port Talbot
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Port Talbot?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Port Talbot and across West Glamorgan. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Port Talbot?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
