How we approach dome rooflights in Peterhead
Dome rooflights in Peterhead means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the AB42 district and the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Peterhead is around 44 km from Aberdeen, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including the AB42 district.
Specification options
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands

- Twin, triple or quad skin

What to check first
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit

Questions about dome rooflights in Peterhead
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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.
