Dome rooflights in Pitlochry: what is involved?
Thinking about dome rooflights in Pitlochry? The short answer: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Dome rooflights suit schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Pitlochry is around 39 km from Perth, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Perth and Kinross, including the PH16 district.

- Fixed or hinged with vent

What to check first
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
Building control and safety duties in Pitlochry
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.

Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
