How we approach dome rooflights in Irvine
For Irvine homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
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 schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Irvine sits about 8 km from Troon and 10 km from Kilmarnock, and we cover the whole KA12 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Irvine project
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Things we check at survey
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Building control and safety duties in Irvine
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about dome rooflights in Irvine
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
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 domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Irvine?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
