Dome rooflights for Portadown: the essentials
We handle dome rooflights across County Armagh, including Portadown. In short: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Jobs in Portadown 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
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass

Dome rooflights in Portadown: 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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
How do I book a survey in Portadown?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Portadown?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
