How we approach dome rooflights in Leven
Thinking about dome rooflights in Leven? 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. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Neighbouring towns include Glenrothes (11 km) and Cupar (13 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Options we can specify in Leven
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands

Things we check at survey

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 you work alongside my builder in Leven?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Leven?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
