Dome rooflights in Worthing: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Worthing 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We work across West Sussex, including Worthing, and in neighbouring towns such as Portslade and Littlehampton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- Low cost per unit
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Regulations for dome rooflights in Worthing
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about dome rooflights in Worthing
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can you work alongside my builder in Worthing?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Worthing?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
