Dome rooflights in Armagh: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Armagh 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.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Jobs in Armagh are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Fire classification matters on some roofs

Common questions
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.
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 Armagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
