Dome rooflights in Jedburgh: what is involved?
For Jedburgh homes and buildings we offer dome rooflights: polycarbonate and acrylic domes for flat roofs, new or replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for dome rooflights include schools, flats and commercial flat roofs.
Jedburgh sits about 15 km from Kelso and 16 km from Hawick, and we cover the whole TD8 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Jedburgh
- Fall-through protection mesh
- Clear, opal or tinted
- Twin, triple or quad skin
- Fixed or hinged with vent
- Insulated PVC or GRP upstands
- Light, impact-resistant domes
- Low cost per unit
Things we check at survey
- Upstand condition decides whether you replace dome only or the whole unit
- Old domes may be fragile — treat as fragile until checked
Building control and safety duties in Jedburgh
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.

How the job runs
- Send the details. Postcode, rough size and a photo of the roof and room.
- Measure and check. A surveyor visits Jedburgh, measures and checks structure and access.
- Agree the quote. You approve the specification and price before anything is ordered.
- Installation day. Usually one day into a prepared opening, longer for new openings.

Common 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.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Jedburgh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Jedburgh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
