How we approach loft conversion skylights in Cookstown
We handle loft conversion skylights across County Tyrone, including Cookstown. 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.
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 Cookstown to Coalisland, Magherafelt and Dungannon, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Cookstown
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. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
