Skylight installation in Dungannon: what is involved?
Skylight installation in Dungannon means survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We cover the BT70 district and the rest of County Tyrone, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Dungannon sits about 6 km from Coalisland and 16 km from Cookstown, and we cover the whole BT70 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Dungannon?
In Northern Ireland, roof alterations come under Class B of the 2015 order: a rooflight facing a road must not project more than 15 cm and must sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves, verge and party wall. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
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 Dungannon
How long does installation take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand takes about a day. A new opening in an existing roof, including making good, often takes two to three days.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Dungannon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Dungannon?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
