How we approach dome rooflights in Wednesbury
Our dome rooflights service in Wednesbury 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.
Wednesbury is around 11 km from Birmingham, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the West Midlands, including the WS10 district.
Options we can specify in Wednesbury
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent

Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Building control and safety duties in Wednesbury
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about dome rooflights in Wednesbury
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
How do I book a survey in Wednesbury?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wednesbury?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
