Rooflight replacement in Enniskillen

Enniskillen guide prices

Guide ranges for supply & fit; building control notice fee extra in England and Wales. 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.

Is your address covered?

Jobs across BT74, BT94 and BT92 are part of our normal cover for Enniskillen. 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 Omagh 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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Which works out better, buying your own or letting us supply? It depends on what you value. Buying your own gives you control of the product and what you pay for it. Letting us supply puts the whole job, unit and fitting, under one written quote. On a customer-supplied unit we still measure it against the opening, look at the upstand, and inspect the condition it arrived in. Warranty on the product sits with whoever sold it, while the fitting carries our own guarantee.

What the job includes

• Building notice given to the council in England and Wales, with its fee on the quote
• Internal reveal made good where the old trim or plaster was damaged
• Old rooflight or dome unscrewed, lifted out and taken away for disposal
• Leaks that are not the rooflight — We look at the roof around the unit before blaming the rooflight.
• Energy rules for the new unit — We make sure the replacement meets the current energy limit, not just the old unit's performance.

Fitting your replacement 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 replacement 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.

Planning and building rules in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the energy standard for a new or replacement rooflight or roof window in an existing home is WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, under Technical Booklet F1. Cutting a new opening alters the roof structure, so a building control application is expected; confirm with the council's building control team. Planning permitted development covers many rooflights on houses if they stay below the ridge, project no more than 15 cm on a road-facing slope and sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves and verges.

Details that speed up your quote

A fast quote needs five things: a photo of the roof from outside, one from the room below, rough sizes of the opening or the space, the roof covering (felt, single-ply, fibreglass, tiles, slate or metal), and a note on access. If you have already bought the unit, add the product link or spec sheet. And give us the postcode, BT74 or a neighbouring district.
