What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Omagh involve?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Omagh means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the BT78 district and the rest of County Tyrone, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
We cover all of Omagh and the BT78 district, and nearby Strabane and Enniskillen.

Planning, building control and 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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
How much light does a sun tunnel give?
A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
Do sun tunnels need planning permission?
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.
Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
How do I book a survey in Omagh?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Omagh?
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.
