How we approach dome rooflights in Newtown
For Newtown 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. In Newtown, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We cover all of Newtown and the SY16 district, and nearby Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells.
Options we can specify in Newtown
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
Things we check at survey
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Newtown
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. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

Dome rooflights in Newtown: questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Newtown?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Newtown?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
