Dome rooflights for Felling: the essentials
For Felling 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. In Felling, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Gateshead (2 km) and Newcastle upon Tyne (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Options we can specify in Felling
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- 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 Felling
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.

Common questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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 Felling?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Felling?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Felling and across Tyne and Wear. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
