What do dome rooflights in Newry involve?
We handle dome rooflights across County Down, including Newry. 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.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Newry is around 69 km from Bangor, County Down, and we survey and fit throughout that part of County Down, including the BT34 district.
What you can choose
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Newry
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
For non-domestic buildings in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F2 covers energy performance; we supply the manufacturer's data for building control. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Newry: questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
How do I book a survey in Newry?
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 Newry?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
