Ridge & pitched glass roofs for Magherafelt: the essentials
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Magherafelt 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.

Planning, building control and Magherafelt
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. 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.

Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Magherafelt: 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.
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.
Can it have opening vents?
Yes, top-hung vents with electric actuators are common, often with a rain sensor.
Can you work alongside my builder in Magherafelt?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Magherafelt?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
