How we approach loft conversion skylights in Coalisland
We handle loft conversion skylights across County Tyrone, including Coalisland. In short: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Loft conversion skylights suit loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
We work across County Tyrone, including Coalisland, and in neighbouring towns such as Dungannon and Cookstown. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for loft conversion skylights in Coalisland
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. 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.
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. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.

Will the loft be cold near the windows?
Correctly fitted insulation collars and linings keep the window surround warm and reduce condensation.
