Flat rooflight installation in Omagh

If the flat rooflight on your roof now is misted, discoloured, cracked or letting water in, replacing it is often simpler than people expect. The old unit comes out, we inspect the kerb or frame underneath, and we decide with you whether it can be reused or needs rebuilding. Then the new one goes in, sealed to the roof covering and finished inside. We handle this kind of flat rooflight installation in Omagh and nearby, alongside new openings and fit-only work. Postcode BT78 and its neighbours are all within our cover.

Fitting across Omagh and nearby

Jobs across BT78, BT79 and BT76 are part of our normal cover for Omagh. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Enniskillen and Dungannon are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Already bought your unit?

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a flat rooflight that suits your roof and install it, so one company answers for both the product choice and the fitting. Fit-only means you buy the unit and we install it. With fit-only, the product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our written guarantee covers the fitting work. Both routes get the same checks on the opening, the upstand and the maker's instructions before anything is fixed.

Included in the work

  • Lifting gear or extra hands arranged for large and heavy panes
  • Membrane, felt or GRP finished to the frame the way the maker shows
  • Reveal lined and trimmed inside, with the glass left clean
  • Ceiling and reveal depth — We measure the depth from the kerb top to the ceiling to plan the reveal.
  • Solar gain on south-facing roofs — We ask which way the roof faces and how the room is used before suggesting glass.

What happens on the day

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 flat 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.

Regulations for Omagh properties

Northern Ireland has its own rules. Permitted development for rooflights on a house requires the unit to sit below the highest part of the roof, project no more than 15 cm where the slope faces a road, and stay at least half a metre from the ridge, eaves, party wall and verge. It doesn't apply in conservation areas or within the grounds of a listed building. For building control, structural roof alterations need an application, and rooflights must meet WER Band C or 1.6 W/m²K.

Help us quote accurately

Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, BT78 or nearby, confirms travel.

Common questions in Omagh

What upstand height and roof pitch does flat rooflight fitting need?

It depends on the product. Manufacturers usually specify a minimum upstand height above the finished roof surface, and a minimum pitch on the glass so rain runs off. We follow the maker's figures for your unit rather than a rule of thumb. If your existing kerb or roof falls short, we explain the options, such as raising the upstand or choosing a unit with built-in pitch.

Does a rooflight need building control approval?

In Northern Ireland a new opening alters the roof structure, so expect a building control application; confirm the position with your council, including for replacements. The new rooflight must meet WER Band C or 1.6 W/m²K. We confirm what applies before you commit.

Can you replace an old dome without redoing the whole roof?

Usually, yes. If the existing kerb is sound, level and tall enough, a new unit can often sit on it with a fresh seal to the roof covering. If the kerb is rotten or too low, we rebuild it and patch the covering around it rather than stripping the whole roof. This is checked at the survey and included in the written quote, so you know the full scope first.
