Glass links & glass box roofs for Keady: the essentials
We handle glass links & glass box roofs across County Armagh, including Keady. In short: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. In Keady, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
From Keady to Armagh, Newry and Portadown, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Concealed gutters and drainage
- Frameless sliding or pivot doors

What to check first

Consents for glass links & glass box roofs in Keady
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.
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.

Glass links & glass box roofs in Keady: questions
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
Do glass links need planning permission?
Often, yes — and listed building consent if either building is listed. We can provide drawings and product data for your application.
How is the glass joined to the old wall?
Usually by a slim channel or flashing set into the masonry, sealed and weathered so the old wall can move without cracking the glass seal.
Is the survey in Keady free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning 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.
