Dome rooflights in Glasgow: what is involved?
Our dome rooflights service in Glasgow 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.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of dome rooflights for older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
We cover all of Glasgow and the G1 district, and nearby Rutherglen and Bishopbriggs.

Rules and responsibilities in Glasgow
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Questions about dome rooflights in Glasgow
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.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Do you fit dome rooflights in Glasgow?
Yes. We survey and fit dome rooflights in Glasgow and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Glasgow?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
