Roof lanterns for Keady: the essentials
Roof lanterns in Keady means hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. We cover the BT60 district and the rest of County Armagh, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. In Keady, as anywhere, roof lanterns are the usual choice for orangeries, kitchen-diners and single-storey extensions.

Do you need permission in Keady?
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about roof lanterns in Keady
How big can a lantern be?
Aluminium systems go to around three by six metres in standard ranges; larger sizes are made to order.
Do roof lanterns get hot?
They can in summer if clear glass is used on a south-facing roof. Solar-control glass and an opening vent make a big difference.
Do they leak?
Modern lanterns are sealed systems. Leaks usually trace back to the kerb or roof membrane detail, which we form and check ourselves.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Keady?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
