How we approach conservation rooflights in Lurgan
Thinking about conservation rooflights in Lurgan? 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.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Neighbouring towns include Craigavon (4 km) and Portadown (9 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Lurgan
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.

Conservation rooflights in Lurgan: questions
Can they open?
Yes, most are top-hung or side-hung for ventilation and cleaning, with manual or electric operation.
Do I need consent for a conservation rooflight?
On a listed building you need listed building consent. In a conservation area, check with the council — many areas have Article 4 directions affecting roof alterations.
Will the council accept it?
We cannot promise an outcome, but a slim conservation profile fitted low in the roof is the type many conservation officers ask for.

Will I need planning permission in Lurgan?
