Dome rooflights in Renfrew: what is involved?
Dome rooflights in Renfrew means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the PA4 district and the rest of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, 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 older flat roofs with yellowed or leaking domes.
Jobs in Renfrew 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.
Options we can specify in Renfrew
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Polycarbonate or acrylic
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Quick replacement on existing upstands
- Suits schools, flats and commercial roofs
Things we check at survey
- Fire classification matters on some roofs
- Plastic domes have a lower acoustic and thermal performance than glass
Rules and responsibilities in Renfrew
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Common questions
Can domes open?
Hinged and vented domes are available, manual or electric.
Can you replace just the dome?
Yes, if the upstand is sound and the size matches. Otherwise we replace both.
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 work alongside my builder in Renfrew?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Renfrew?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
