Loft conversion skylights for Enniskillen: the essentials
For Enniskillen 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. Think of loft conversion skylights for attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
We cover all of Enniskillen and the BT74 district, and nearby Omagh and Strabane.

Consents for loft conversion skylights in Enniskillen
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.
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.

Loft conversion skylights in Enniskillen: questions
Do loft roof windows need to be escape windows?
Some loft rooms need an escape window, depending on the layout and the fire strategy for the conversion. Building control confirms the requirement.
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.
Can I add blinds later?
Yes — most manufacturers make blinds for each window size.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Enniskillen?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Enniskillen?
