Dome rooflights for Bearsden: the essentials
For Bearsden 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.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for dome rooflights include older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
From Bearsden to Milngavie, Clydebank and Renfrew, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Low cost per unit
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
Regulations for dome rooflights in Bearsden
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. We confirm the route for your building before ordering.
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Dome rooflights in Bearsden: 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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
