What do sliding rooflights in Craigavon involve?
Thinking about sliding rooflights in Craigavon? The short answer: box rooflights whose glass lid slides back for walk-out roof access. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Think of sliding rooflights for staircases that rise to a roof terrace.
We cover all of Craigavon and the BT62 district, and nearby Lurgan and Portadown.

Consents for sliding rooflights in Craigavon
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
What if it is raining?
Fitted with a rain sensor, an electric unit closes automatically. Most also have a manual override for power cuts.
Is a sliding rooflight better than an access hatch?
For daily use, usually yes — you walk out under open sky instead of climbing through a hinged hatch. A hatch costs less and suits occasional access.
Does it need planning permission?
A box unit that projects above the roof plane can need planning permission, especially on the front of a house or in a conservation area. We check before you order.

Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
