What do electric opening rooflights in Coalisland involve?
For Coalisland homes and buildings we offer electric opening rooflights: hinged rooflights that open on an electric actuator for fresh air. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Electric opening rooflights suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms that need fresh air as well as light.
Neighbouring towns include Dungannon (6 km) and Cookstown (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for electric opening rooflights in Coalisland
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.
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. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can it open in a power cut?
Most electric units stay where they are during a power cut. Some manufacturers offer a manual override or battery backup — we will tell you which option the chosen model has.
Can I control it from my phone?
Some ranges link to smart-home hubs or their own app. If that matters, say so at survey and we will specify a compatible model.
Is it secure when open?
An opening rooflight is a vent, not an access hatch, so the gap is small. For security, close it when the house is empty — a rain sensor does not lock the unit.
Can you work alongside my builder in Coalisland?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
