Skylights and rooflights in Richmond

Our work in Richmond

This Richmond home had two old Perspex domes side by side on a flat roof, both clouded with age. We took them off, prepared the upstands and fitted two triple glazed flat glass rooflights in their place, with clear glass where the plastic used to be.

Richmond homes

Richmond is a place of Georgian and Victorian houses, many of them in London stock brick, around Richmond Hill, the Green and the streets above the Thames. Plenty have flat-roofed rear extensions and back additions, where a flat glass rooflight or roof lantern brings daylight to the room below. In the loft, Velux roof windows can go on the rear slope, out of sight of the street.

Old domes and skylights

Domes and older skylights fitted decades ago are often clouded, draughty or leaking now. Most can be replaced with modern sealed glass over the same opening, and if the flat roof is near the end of its life too, we renew it in EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass in the same job.
