What does skylight installation in Enniskillen involve?
We handle skylight installation across County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen. In short: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We cover all of Enniskillen and the BT74 district, and nearby Omagh and Strabane.

Planning and building rules for 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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Skylight installation in Enniskillen: questions
Do you fit rooflights bought elsewhere?
Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For new openings that cut joists or rafters, a structural check is sensible and building control may ask for calculations.
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.
How do I book a survey in Enniskillen?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
