How we approach skylight replacement in Omagh
Skylight replacement in Omagh means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the BT78 district and the rest of County Tyrone, with a survey before any price is fixed.

Consents for skylight replacement in Omagh
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.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
