What do dome rooflights in Worcester involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Worcester 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Worcester is the main town we list in Worcestershire; we also cover nearby Droitwich and Great Malvern.
What you can choose
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Worcester
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.

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