Skylight replacement for Newry: the essentials
Skylight replacement in Newry means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the BT34 district and the rest of County Down, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. In Newry, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Newry sits about 25 km from Keady and 28 km from Portadown, and we cover the whole BT34 postcode district and the roads in between.

Things we check at survey

Planning, building control and Newry
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.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

Questions about skylight replacement in Newry
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.
How long does a replacement take?
Usually a day for a standard rooflight on a sound upstand.
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 Newry?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Newry free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
