Programme of works
Phased replacement across a building, priced from a survey
Guide ranges for supply & fit, per unit; site set-up priced separately. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Where our fitters travel
Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Omagh, 22 miles from Enniskillen, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in BT74, BT94 and BT92. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Dungannon, around 36 miles out, is treated the same way.
What the job includes
- Kerbs checked and packed, adapted or rebuilt where needed
- Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
- Phasing agreed so occupied areas stay dry and usable
- Glass or polycarbonate — We compare glass and polycarbonate units against the roof, use and budget.
- Energy limits for non-domestic roofs — We check new units against the energy limits for non-domestic buildings.
Fitting your commercial rooflight, step by step
Fitting days start with a look at the sky. If rain is due, the order of work changes so the roof is never left open to it. A typical day for a commercial rooflight runs like this: set up access, protect the room, open up the roof or prepare the existing kerb or frame, check sizes, fix, seal, then finish inside. On jobs that take more than a day, the opening is weather-sealed overnight. The last hour goes on tidying, waste removal and a walk-round with you.
Do you need permission in Enniskillen?
On commercial buildings in Northern Ireland, rooflight openings and roof alterations go through building control, with energy and fire requirements for the glazing set out in the Technical Booklets. Smoke vents must be certified products with controls commissioned by a specialist. We confirm the route for your building.
What to send for a quick quote
What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around BT74 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Enniskillen
What if my roof opening is the wrong size for the commercial rooflight?
We find out before the fitting day, not on it. If the opening is slightly out, it can usually be adjusted by trimming or by packing out the upstand. If it is a long way off, the choice is between altering the opening and changing the unit. Bear in mind that rooflights are often sold by builder's opening size rather than external size, so check which one your measurement refers to.
Will my new commercial rooflight leak?
A correctly fitted unit should not. Leaks usually trace back to the detail around the frame: an upstand that is too low, a membrane or flashing that is not dressed properly, sealant applied to a damp surface, or water ponding against the kerb. We fit to the maker's instructions and check each of those points. The fitting carries a written workmanship guarantee, with its terms set out on your quote.
Who is responsible for the smoke-control system?
The building's responsible person, duty holder or managing agent, depending on the nation, is responsible for keeping fire safety systems working. Our part is the rooflight and roof work; the controls, detection and commissioning are handled by a smoke-control specialist, and the quote says who does what.
