Glass links & glass box roofs in Omagh: what is involved?
For Omagh homes and buildings we offer glass links & glass box roofs: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Think of glass links & glass box roofs for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
We cover all of Omagh and the BT78 district, and nearby Strabane and Enniskillen.

Do you need permission in Omagh?
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. 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.
