What do dome rooflights involve?
Dome rooflights in Fife means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every quote follows a survey of the roof and the room below.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
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. 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
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.
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 domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do you fit dome rooflights across Fife?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights across Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes.
