What do flat rooflights in Armagh involve?
We handle flat rooflights across County Armagh, including Armagh. In short: fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. 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 flat rooflights for landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
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.
Specification options
- Double or triple glazing
- Rain sensor if paired with an opening unit
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Square, rectangular or long-format sizes
- Frame colours: anthracite, black, white or RAL
- Fixed units are simple, quiet and low-maintenance
- Pairs with an opening unit where you also need ventilation
What to check first
- Needs a properly formed upstand — usually at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface (check the manufacturer's figure)
- The roof membrane must be dressed up the upstand before the unit goes on
Planning, building control and Armagh
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.
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.

Questions about flat rooflights in Armagh
How long does it take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand usually takes a day. Forming a new opening in an existing roof, including making good inside, is often two to three days.
Will it make the room too hot?
A big unglazed-to-sky area can add solar gain in summer. Solar-control glass, a blind, or pairing a fixed unit with an opening one keeps it comfortable.
Do flat rooflights leak?
A well-fitted flat rooflight should not leak. Leaks almost always come from the upstand or membrane detailing, not the glass unit, which is why the upstand height and the way the roof covering is dressed up and under the frame matter more than the brand.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Armagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
