What do dome rooflights in Newtownards involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Newtownards 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 older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Newtownards 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.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Low cost per unit
Before you order: points to check
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Regulations for dome rooflights in Newtownards
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about dome rooflights in Newtownards
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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 domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.

Can you work alongside my builder in Newtownards?
