Roof lanterns in Dungannon: what is involved?
We handle roof lanterns across County Tyrone, including Dungannon. In short: hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Think of roof lanterns for orangeries, kitchen-diners and single-storey extensions.
We work across County Tyrone, including Dungannon, and in neighbouring towns such as Coalisland and Cookstown. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Aluminium or uPVC systems
- LED lighting in the plaster box
- Rectangular, square or bespoke sizes
- Internal and external colours
- Opening vents with electric control
- Light from every angle across the day
- Double or triple glazed with solar-control options
What to check first
- Plaster-box depth affects how the lantern looks from below
- Larger lanterns may need a steel or timber ring beam
Consents for roof lanterns in Dungannon
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.
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. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.

Roof lanterns in Dungannon: questions
Can a lantern go on an existing extension?
Yes, if the flat roof structure can be opened up and trimmed. We check joists and the roof build-up at survey.
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.
How big can a lantern be?
Aluminium systems go to around three by six metres in standard ranges; larger sizes are made to order.
Can you work alongside my builder in Dungannon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit roof lanterns in Dungannon?
Yes. We survey and fit roof lanterns in Dungannon and across County Tyrone. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
