How we approach dome rooflights in Lerwick
Dome rooflights in Lerwick: by arrangement. In short, polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We confirm travel and timing before any survey is booked, then fix the price in writing.
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 schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We cover Lerwick by arrangement: travel, ferries and weather affect what is practical, so we confirm what we can offer before quoting.

Building control and safety duties in Lerwick
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
