What does skylight installation in Craigavon involve?
Our skylight installation service in Craigavon covers survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. 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. Typical uses for skylight installation include new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Craigavon is the main town we list in County Armagh; we also cover nearby Lurgan and Portadown.

Planning, building control and Craigavon
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.
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. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

For new openings that cut joists or rafters, a structural check is sensible and building control may ask for calculations.
