Thinking about loft conversion skylights in Craigavon? The short answer: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.

Common questions
How many roof windows does a loft room need?
Enough to give good light — a common rule of thumb is glazing equal to roughly a tenth to a fifth of the floor area, adjusted for orientation and use. We advise at survey.
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.
Can you work alongside my loft builder?
Yes — we set out and fit the windows to the builder's programme.
How do I book a survey in Craigavon?
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 Craigavon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
