Dome rooflights for East Kilbride: the essentials
Dome rooflights in East Kilbride means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the G74 district and the rest of Lanarkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
We cover all of East Kilbride and the G74 district, and nearby Cambuslang and Rutherglen.
Specification options
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
What to check first
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Rules and responsibilities in East Kilbride
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.

Common questions
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.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in East Kilbride?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in East Kilbride?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
