Conservation rooflights in Omagh: what is involved?
Our conservation rooflights service in Omagh covers slim, low-profile steel-look rooflights for period and listed roofs. 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. Think of conservation rooflights for slate and plain-tile roofs where a quiet roofline matters.
We cover all of Omagh and the BT78 district, and nearby Strabane and Enniskillen.

Planning, building control and Omagh
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. 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.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Conservation rooflights in Omagh: questions
Do they suit slate roofs?
Yes — flashings are made for slates and for plain tiles.
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.
Do you fit conservation rooflights in Omagh?
Yes. We survey and fit conservation rooflights in Omagh and across County Tyrone. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in Omagh?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
