What do dome rooflights in Largs involve?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Largs? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Dunoon (17 km) and Greenock (18 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Regulations for dome rooflights in Largs
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

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 I need to be at home for the survey in Largs?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Largs?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Largs and across Ayrshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
