Dome rooflights in Troon: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Troon? 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.
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. In Troon, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We work across Ayrshire, including Troon, and in neighbouring towns such as Prestwick and Irvine. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Troon project
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Things we check at survey
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Troon
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.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
How do I book a survey in Troon?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Troon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
