What do dome rooflights in Aberdeen involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Aberdeen 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Aberdeen is the main town we list in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire; we also cover nearby Inverurie and Ellon.
Options we can specify in Aberdeen
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Smoke-vent versions available
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Aberdeen
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 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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about dome rooflights in Aberdeen
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 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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberdeen?
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 Aberdeen?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Aberdeen and across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
