Skylight installation in Omagh: what is involved?
Skylight installation in Omagh means survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We cover the BT78 district and the rest of County Tyrone, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Typical uses for skylight installation include new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We cover all of Omagh and the BT78 district, and nearby Strabane and Enniskillen.

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

Common questions
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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 fit rooflights bought elsewhere?
Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Omagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you offer skylight installation in Omagh?
Yes. We carry out skylight installation in Omagh and across County Tyrone. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
