Flat rooflights in Keady: what is involved?
Our flat rooflights service in Keady covers fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Flat rooflights suit landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
We work across County Armagh, including Keady, and in neighbouring towns such as Armagh and Newry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Square, rectangular or long-format sizes
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Frame colours: anthracite, black, white or RAL
- Solar-control or self-cleaning outer pane
- Insulated kerb or timber upstand built to suit
- Inner pane laminated for safety overhead
- Slim sightlines from inside — mostly glass, little frame
Things we check at survey
- The roof membrane must be dressed up the upstand before the unit goes on
- Needs a properly formed upstand — usually at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface (check the manufacturer's figure)
Do you need permission in Keady?
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.
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.

Questions about flat rooflights in Keady
Double or triple glazing?
Double glazing suits most domestic jobs. Triple glazing improves thermal performance and cuts noise from rain, which is worth it over bedrooms or where the energy calculation is tight.
Can you fit into my existing flat roof?
Yes. We form a new opening, trim the joists, build and waterproof an upstand and make good the ceiling. A survey confirms the joist direction and roof build-up first.
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.
