Dome rooflight replacement in Wiltshire

A good share of dome rooflight replacement in Wiltshire is replacement work. Older units go brittle or discoloured, sealed glass mists, and seals give up after years of sun and frost. Swapping the unit is often possible on the existing kerb, provided that kerb is sound, level and tall enough above the finished roof. Where it is not, we rebuild it. We cover the whole of Wiltshire, across 26 postcode districts, with fitters travelling to each address.

Guide ranges for supply & fit, per dome; building control notice fee extra on homes in England and Wales. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.

Towns we list in Wiltshire

Wiltshire is part of our normal coverage in England. Fitting teams travel out to the property, so a town-centre terrace and a house down a farm track are treated alike, as long as a fitter can get the unit to the roof safely. Dates are offered according to fitter availability, and the cost of travel is already in your written quote.

Included in the work

  • Old dome unscrewed, lifted off and taken away
  • New multi-skin dome or glass unit fixed and sealed
  • Kerb checked for rot, size and height before the new unit goes on
  • Fragile dome safety — We treat old domes as fragile at all times.
  • Is the kerb sound? — We check each kerb for rot and movement before quoting a dome swap.

Rules that apply in England

Two sets of rules matter in England. Planning: a rooflight on a house is normally permitted development if it projects no more than 0.15 m and stays below the highest part of the roof, but flats, listed buildings and Article 4 areas need checking. Building regulations: new openings need approval for the structure and energy performance, and a replacement is a controlled fitting. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so we notify replacements to building control with a building notice and put the council's fee on the quote.

Common questions in Wiltshire

How long does fitting take?

Fitting a dome rooflight into an existing, correctly sized opening is often a day's work. New openings take longer, because joists or rafters need trimming, an upstand or flashing has to be built or fitted, and the inside needs finishing. Large units that need lifting gear, and days lost to rain, can stretch things further. Your written quote gives a realistic estimate for your roof.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Wiltshire?

Often not. Many rooflights fall under permitted development, provided they do not project beyond the national limit and meet the other conditions that apply in England. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some flats are different and may need consent. Because the rules depend on the property, we confirm what is likely to apply at your address and point you to the planning authority where an application is needed.

Can you fit the dome rooflight I bought online?

Yes, fit-only is one of our core services. Send the product link or spec, photos of the roof and rough sizes, and we can usually price it from those. Before fitting we check the delivery for damage, which should be reported to the seller, plus the size against the builder's opening and the upstand height. The product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our guarantee covers the fitting.
