Skylight replacement for Keady: the essentials
Our skylight replacement service in Keady covers replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Typical uses for skylight replacement include older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Jobs in Keady are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Keady
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. 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 replacement in Keady
Do I need building regulations approval to replace a rooflight?
Replacements in existing homes generally need to meet current thermal standards and may need notification or approval. We advise on the route for your job.
Can you replace only the misted glass?
Sometimes, if the frame is sound and the maker supplies replacement units. Often a complete new rooflight costs little more and performs better.
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Keady?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.

Yes. We carry out skylight replacement in Keady and across County Armagh. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
