Pitched roof windows for Enniskillen: the essentials
We handle pitched roof windows across County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen. In short: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. In Enniskillen, as anywhere, pitched roof windows are the usual choice for pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
We cover all of Enniskillen and the BT74 district, and nearby Omagh and Strabane.
What you can choose
- Integral blinds and shutters
- Flashings for tiles, slates or recessed fitting
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Manual, electric or solar-powered opening
- Double or triple glazing
- Flashings to suit tiles or slates
- Daylight and ventilation in a pitched roof
Things we check at survey

- Rafters may need trimming for wider windows
Planning, building control and Enniskillen
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. 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 pitched roof windows in Enniskillen
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
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.
Can a roof window be fitted from inside?
In most cases, yes — only the tiles around the opening are lifted, and much of the work is done from inside the loft.
Will I need planning permission in Enniskillen?
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Enniskillen?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
