Dome rooflights for Jarrow: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Jarrow 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.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. In Jarrow, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Hebburn (2 km) and Wallsend (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Light, impact-resistant domes
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Jarrow
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.
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.
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.
