Pitched roof windows for Armagh: the essentials
Our pitched roof windows service in Armagh covers centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Think of pitched roof windows for lofts, attic rooms, landings and vaulted ceilings.
From Armagh to Keady, Portadown and Dungannon, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Armagh
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. 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.

Questions about pitched roof windows in Armagh
Will it need building regulations approval?
Fitting a new roof window usually involves cutting rafters and changing the thermal envelope, so building control approval (or, in England and Wales, a competent-person route) is normally needed. We tell you which applies.
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Centre-pivot or top-hung?
Centre-pivot windows are easy to clean and suit most rooms. Top-hung windows open out from the top for an unobstructed view and suit lower roof pitches near eye level.
How do I book a survey in Armagh?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Armagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
