What do ridge & pitched glass roofs in Keady involve?
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Keady covers dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We work across County Armagh, including Keady, and in neighbouring towns such as Armagh and Newry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Keady project
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Integrated gutters and box gutters

Before you order: points to check
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
Planning, building control and Keady
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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Will it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Can it have opening vents?
Yes, top-hung vents with electric actuators are common, often with a rain sensor.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Keady?
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.
