Loft conversion skylights in Armagh: what is involved?
For Armagh homes and buildings we offer loft conversion skylights: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. In Armagh, as anywhere, loft conversion skylights are the usual choice for loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
Armagh is around 21 km from Craigavon, and we survey and fit throughout that part of County Armagh, including the BT60 district.
What you can choose
- Balcony roof windows on some ranges
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Combination and stacked layouts
- Electric or solar opening
- Blackout and thermal blinds
- Electric opening for high windows
- Set out on the rafters before plastering
What to check first
- Escape-window requirements apply to some loft rooms
- Rafter spacing affects window widths
Consents for loft conversion skylights in 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.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can you work alongside my loft builder?
Yes — we set out and fit the windows to the builder's programme.
Top-hung or centre-pivot in a loft?
Top-hung gives a clearer view and often suits escape use; centre-pivot is easier to clean and suits higher positions.
Will the loft be cold near the windows?
Correctly fitted insulation collars and linings keep the window surround warm and reduce condensation.
