What do conservation rooflights in Enniskillen involve?
We handle conservation rooflights across County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen. In short: slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
Enniskillen is the main town we list in County Fermanagh; we also cover nearby Omagh and Strabane.

Planning and building rules for Enniskillen
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
