Bespoke & shaped rooflights in Armagh: what is involved?
Our bespoke & shaped rooflights service in Armagh covers triangular, angled, curved and multi-pane rooflights made to measure. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Typical uses for bespoke & shaped rooflights include angled ceilings, corners and architect-designed extensions.
We work across County Armagh, including Armagh, and in neighbouring towns such as Keady and Portadown. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Armagh
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. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about bespoke & shaped rooflights in Armagh
Why does bespoke take longer?
Each unit is drawn, checked and manufactured to order.
Can bespoke units open?
Some can. Shaped glass is usually fixed, combined with a standard opening unit elsewhere.
Do you need my architect's drawings?
They help. We still survey on site, because built openings rarely match drawings exactly.
Is the survey in Armagh free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Armagh?
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage.
