Our dome rooflights service in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We survey every job before fixing the price.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
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 Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.

Common questions
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Do you fit dome rooflights across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Aberdeen, Banchory, Ellon.
