Skylight installation for Cookstown: the essentials
We handle skylight installation across County Tyrone, including Cookstown. 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.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Skylight installation suits builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Coalisland (12 km) and Magherafelt (15 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Cookstown
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.

Questions about skylight installation in Cookstown
Who handles building control?
We tell you which route applies — building control approval, a building warrant in Scotland, or in England and Wales self-certification by a registered competent person — and supply the product data.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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 in Cookstown free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Cookstown?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
