Skylight replacement in Lurgan: what is involved?
We handle skylight replacement across County Armagh, including Lurgan. In short: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. 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 replacement suits yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Neighbouring towns include Craigavon (4 km) and Portadown (9 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Lurgan
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. 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. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
How long does a replacement take?
Usually a day for a standard rooflight on a sound upstand.
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.
Will it mess up my ceiling?
We protect the room and make good the reveal. Minor decoration may be needed afterwards.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lurgan?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Lurgan?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
