Conservation rooflights in Craigavon: what is involved?
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Craigavon? The short answer: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Conservation rooflights suit period, listed and conservation-area roofs.
Craigavon is the main town we list in County Armagh; we also cover nearby Lurgan and Portadown.
Options we can specify in Craigavon
- Manual or electric opening
- Blinds
- Flashings for slate or plain tile

Things we check at survey
- Projection above the roof line is limited — usually as flush as possible

Do you need permission in Craigavon?
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. 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. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
