Planning, building control and Craigavon
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. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

Common questions
How long does a ridge roof take to fit?
Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Is a glass roof too hot for a kitchen?
Without care, it can be. Solar-control glass, an opening vent at the top and a blind make a south-facing glass roof comfortable.
Is the survey in Craigavon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Craigavon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
