What do dome rooflights in Alloa involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Alloa covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written 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. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Alloa to Stirling, Bridge of Allan and Grangemouth, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Things we check at survey
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Regulations for dome rooflights in Alloa
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
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
