Dome rooflights in Hawick: what is involved?
Dome rooflights in Hawick means polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We cover the TD9 district and the rest of the Scottish Borders, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Think of dome rooflights for schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
From Hawick to Selkirk, Jedburgh and Galashiels, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Building control and safety duties in Hawick
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Dome rooflights in Hawick: questions
Should I replace a dome or switch to glass?
A dome is cheaper and quick; glass gives a clear view and better performance. On a tight budget, or a commercial roof with many units, domes remain sensible.
Do domes leak?
Leaks are usually at the upstand seal or the membrane. Replacing the dome and resealing often fixes it.
Why has my dome gone yellow?
UV breaks down older plastics over time. Modern domes have UV-protective layers, but all plastics age.
