Dome rooflights for Coventry: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Coventry 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. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Coventry to Kenilworth, Bedworth and Nuneaton, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Regulations for dome rooflights in Coventry
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.

- Fit and make good. We fit, seal, test and finish the reveal, then hand over the paperwork.

Dome rooflights in Coventry: questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes 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 replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
How do I book a survey in Coventry?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Coventry?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
