Consents for frameless structural rooflights in Enniskillen
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Frameless structural rooflights in Enniskillen: questions
Is frameless glass as strong as a framed rooflight?
Yes — it is structural glass designed for the job. The support is hidden rather than missing.
Can it open?
Some frameless designs include a sliding or hinged opening element, but most are fixed. Pair with an opening unit if you need ventilation.
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
How do I book a survey in Enniskillen?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Enniskillen?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
