What do dome rooflights in Gosforth involve?
For Gosforth 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.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Newcastle upon Tyne (3 km) and Gateshead (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Smoke-vent versions available

Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Gosforth
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 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.

Questions about dome rooflights in Gosforth
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 domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
