What we fit in Portadown
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Portadown — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass.
We work across County Armagh, including Portadown, and in neighbouring towns such as Craigavon and Lurgan. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, roof alterations come under Class B of the 2015 order: a rooflight facing a road must not project more than 15 cm and must sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves, verge and party wall. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.

Skylight questions: Portadown
Will I need planning permission in Portadown?
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Portadown?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Portadown?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Portadown and across County Armagh. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Portadown?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will a rooflight make my room too hot?
It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
