What do dome rooflights in Stirling involve?
Our dome rooflights service in Stirling 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Stirling, as anywhere, dome rooflights are the usual choice for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Stirling is the main town we list in the Forth Valley; we also cover nearby Bridge of Allan and Dunblane.
Specification options
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Low cost per unit
- Light, impact-resistant domes
Things we check at survey
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Rules and responsibilities in Stirling
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Stirling: 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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you work alongside my builder in Stirling?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Stirling?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
