How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Enniskillen
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen. In short: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. In Enniskillen, as anywhere, ridge & pitched glass roofs are the usual choice for side returns, links and long extensions.
We cover all of Enniskillen and the BT74 district, and nearby Omagh and Strabane.

What to check first
- Overheating is a real risk on south-facing glass roofs
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
Planning, building control and Enniskillen
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.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.

Common questions
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
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 it be noisy in the rain?
Glass is quieter than polycarbonate. Triple glazing or laminated glass reduces rain noise further.
Will I need planning permission in Enniskillen?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Enniskillen?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
