Dome rooflights for Wishaw: the essentials
Dome rooflights in Wishaw means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the ML2 district and the rest of Lanarkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. Dome rooflights suit older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Wishaw are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Low cost per unit
- Fixed, hinged or vented options
What to check first
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Building control and safety duties in Wishaw
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. 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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about dome rooflights in Wishaw
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
How do I book a survey in Wishaw?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wishaw?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
