What do walk-on rooflights in Lurgan involve?
Our walk-on rooflights service in Lurgan covers structural glass you can stand on, set flush into terraces and floors. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Wind and rain off the Atlantic make upstand and flashing details important on Northern Irish roofs. Typical uses for walk-on rooflights include roof terraces, balconies and floors above basements.
Lurgan sits about 4 km from Craigavon and 9 km from Portadown, and we cover the whole BT66 postcode district and the roads in between.

What to check first

Do you need permission in Lurgan?
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 it be used inside the house?
Yes. Internal walk-on panels pass light from an upper floor or ground floor to a basement below.
How much weight can a walk-on rooflight take?
It depends on the model and size. Manufacturers state a design imposed load for each unit; we only specify a unit whose rating suits the use, such as a private terrace or a busier area.
Can you see through it?
Clear glass can be seen through from both sides. A privacy interlayer or patterned frit keeps the light while obscuring the view.
How do I book a survey in Lurgan?
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 Lurgan?
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.
