Dome rooflights for Alnwick: the essentials
For Alnwick homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Stone villages inland in the North East can have conservation areas where low-profile rooflights are preferred. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Alnwick sits about 27 km from Morpeth and 28 km from Ashington, and we cover the whole NE66 postcode district and the roads in between.
What you can choose
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Smoke-vent versions available
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Alnwick
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Alnwick?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Alnwick?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Alnwick and across Northumberland. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
