Ridge & pitched glass roofs in Strabane: what is involved?
For Strabane homes and buildings we offer ridge & pitched glass roofs: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Think of ridge & pitched glass roofs for terraced-house side returns that would otherwise be dark.
Neighbouring towns include Derry/Londonderry (22 km) and Omagh (27 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Strabane
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.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. 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.

Common questions
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.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
Is the survey in Strabane free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Strabane?
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.
