How we approach dome rooflights in Bloxwich
Our dome rooflights service in Bloxwich 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. In Bloxwich, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Bloxwich are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Smoke-vent versions available
Things we check at survey
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Bloxwich
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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