Dome rooflights in Newcastle-under-Lyme: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. In Newcastle-under-Lyme, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Newcastle-under-Lyme sits about 3 km from Stoke-on-Trent and 7 km from Longton, and we cover the whole ST5 postcode district and the roads in between.

Rules and responsibilities in Newcastle-under-Lyme
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about dome rooflights in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can you work alongside my builder in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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 Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
