How we approach dome rooflights in Dundee
We handle dome rooflights across Dundee and Angus, including Dundee. In short: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Dundee is the main town we list in Dundee and Angus; we also cover nearby Carnoustie and Cupar.

Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in Dundee
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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.

Common questions
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on 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.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Dundee?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Dundee and across Dundee and Angus. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Dundee?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
