Dome rooflights in Dunfermline: what is involved?
For Dunfermline 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. In Dunfermline, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Dunfermline is the main town we list in Fife; we also cover nearby Bo'ness and Kinross.
Options we can specify in Dunfermline
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Smoke-vent versions available
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
Before you order: points to check
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Dunfermline
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
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 replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Dunfermline?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Dunfermline and across Fife. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Dunfermline?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
