How we approach dome rooflights in Kilmarnock
For Kilmarnock 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. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We cover all of Kilmarnock and the KA3 district, and nearby Irvine and Troon.
Options we can specify in Kilmarnock
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands

- Fixed or hinged with vent

What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Rules and responsibilities in Kilmarnock
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.

Common questions
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
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 work alongside my builder in Kilmarnock?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Kilmarnock?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Kilmarnock and across Ayrshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
