How we approach dome rooflights in Rothesay
Dome rooflights in Rothesay: by arrangement. In short, polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Rothesay, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Rothesay is in a remote or island area, so surveys and fitting here are by arrangement. Send your postcode and we will tell you honestly whether and when we can help.
Options we can specify in Rothesay
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Light, impact-resistant domes

What to check first
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Rothesay
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
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.
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 Rothesay?
By arrangement. Rothesay is a remote or island location, so send your postcode and photos and we will confirm what we can offer before any survey is booked.
