Loft conversion skylights for Lurgan: the essentials
For Lurgan 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. Typical uses for loft conversion skylights include loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
From Lurgan to Craigavon, Portadown and Lisburn, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Lurgan
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. 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.
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.

Loft conversion skylights in Lurgan: 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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Lurgan?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lurgan?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
