How we approach dome rooflights in Middlesbrough
Thinking about dome rooflights in Middlesbrough? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. In Middlesbrough, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Billingham (4 km) and Stockton-on-Tees (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Choices for your Middlesbrough project
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Regulations for dome rooflights in Middlesbrough
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 buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
