Dome rooflights for Brighouse: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Brighouse 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.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.

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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Brighouse
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Brighouse?
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 Brighouse?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
