Dome rooflights for Fraserburgh: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Fraserburgh 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. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Fraserburgh is around 61 km from Aberdeen, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including the AB43 district.
Options we can specify in Fraserburgh
- Clear, opal or tinted

What to check first
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Fraserburgh
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Fraserburgh: questions
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
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.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Fraserburgh?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Fraserburgh and across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Fraserburgh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
