Dome rooflights in Inverurie: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Inverurie 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Inverurie are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Choices for your Inverurie project
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- 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 Inverurie
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.

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.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can you work alongside my builder in Inverurie?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Inverurie?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
