Dome rooflights in Perth and Kinross: the essentials
Our dome rooflights service in Perth and Kinross covers polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We survey every job before fixing the price.
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. Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer.

Common questions
Are domes safe to walk on?
No. Treat any rooflight as fragile unless it is specifically certified non-fragile, and never stand on it.
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
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.
