Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Coalisland: the essentials
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Coalisland covers light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Jobs in Coalisland are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Specification options
- Diffusers in several sizes
- Rigid (brighter) or flexible tubes
- Integrated electric light
- Pitched or flat-roof flashings
- Insulated tube sections
- Daylight where no window is possible
- Rigid or flexible tubes for awkward lofts
What to check first
- Gives light, not a view
- Not a substitute for a habitable-room window
Planning and building rules for Coalisland
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. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
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. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.

Usually not on a house, provided the dome does not project too far and the property is not listed. Check if you live in a conservation area or a flat.
