How we approach dome rooflights in Swindon
For Swindon homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We cover all of Swindon and the SN1 district, and nearby Marlborough and Cirencester.
Options we can specify in Swindon
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Low cost per unit
Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Building control and safety duties in Swindon
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Swindon: questions
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.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
