Skylight replacement for Enniskillen: the essentials
Skylight replacement in Enniskillen means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the BT74 district and the rest of County Fermanagh, 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. Think of skylight replacement for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Enniskillen is the main town we list in County Fermanagh; we also cover nearby Omagh and Strabane.

Consents for skylight replacement in Enniskillen
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
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.
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Enniskillen?
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 Enniskillen?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
