How we approach pitched roof windows in Limavady
For Limavady homes and buildings we offer pitched roof windows: centre-pivot and top-hung skylights for tiled and slate roofs. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Typical uses for pitched roof windows include pitched roofs over bedrooms, stairs and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Coleraine (20 km) and Derry/Londonderry (24 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

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

Questions about pitched roof windows in Limavady
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.
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.
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.
Do you fit pitched roof windows in Limavady?
Yes. We survey and fit pitched roof windows in Limavady and across County Londonderry. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Limavady?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
