How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Omagh
Our ridge & pitched glass roofs service in Omagh 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.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Typical uses for ridge & pitched glass roofs include terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
We cover all of Omagh and the BT78 district, and nearby Strabane and Enniskillen.
Specification options
- Dual-pitch or mono-pitch
- Integrated gutters and box gutters
- Solar-control, self-cleaning or tinted glass
- Aluminium systems in standard and RAL colours
- Fixed or retractable shading
- Forms the roof as well as the window
- Maximum daylight for side returns
Things we check at survey
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
- Party-wall agreements may apply on terraced houses
Consents for ridge & pitched glass roofs in Omagh
In Northern Ireland, roof alterations come under Class B of the 2015 order: a rooflight facing a road must not project more than 15 cm and must sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves, verge and party wall. 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.

Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Omagh: questions
Do I need a party wall agreement?
If the work affects a party wall or boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply in England and Wales. We flag this at survey so you can serve notice in time.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Omagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Omagh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
