How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Portadown
Thinking about ridge & pitched glass roofs in Portadown? The short answer: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for side returns, links and long extensions.
Portadown is around 5 km from Craigavon, and we survey and fit throughout that part of County Armagh, including the BT62 district.

Planning and building rules for Portadown
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.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
