What do dome rooflights involve?
Our dome rooflights service in County Antrim covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We survey every job before fixing the price.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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 you fit dome rooflights across County Antrim?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights across County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey.
