What do dome rooflights in Stranraer involve?
For Stranraer 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.
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.
Jobs in Stranraer are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Smoke-vent versions available
Things we check at survey
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Building control and safety duties in Stranraer
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about dome rooflights in Stranraer
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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 you work alongside my builder in Stranraer?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Stranraer?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
