Areas around Enniskillen we cover
Covering Enniskillen means covering the people who live and work there, not a single postcode. We take on domestic and commercial jobs in BT74, BT94 and BT92, and are happy to quote further out in Omagh and Dungannon. If your address sits between towns, tell us and we will confirm whether it falls in our normal area or needs travel set out separately on the quote.
What the job includes
- Old vent removed with the stairwell kept protected below
- Existing vent, actuator and upstand surveyed with the specialist
- New vent fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof
- Controls and backup power — We confirm the controls, detection and backup power are being dealt with by a specialist.
- Upstand and weathering — We check the upstand suits the new vent and that the roof around it is sound.
Fitting your smoke vent 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 smoke vent 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, building control and Enniskillen
In Northern Ireland, smoke vents must be certified products that keep the free area the building's fire strategy requires, with controls connected and commissioned by a smoke-control specialist. The Technical Booklets and building control set the detailed requirement, and we confirm it before quoting.
Before you get in touch
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, BT74 or nearby, confirms travel.
Common questions in Enniskillen
How does payment work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote before you accept it. Depending on the job, that may mean a deposit, stage payments for larger work, or payment on completion. The contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group. Nothing is added without your agreement: if something unexpected comes up, we discuss it and agree any change before carrying on.
Can you fit a rooflight in winter or when it is raining?
Yes, within limits. Cold is less of a problem than wet, because membranes, primers and sealants need a dry surface to bond. We plan fitting days around the forecast and may move a date if heavy rain is due. If the roof has to be opened up, it is not left overnight without a temporary weather seal, so the room below stays dry while the work is finished.
Do you need scaffolding to fit a rooflight?
Not always. Single-storey roofs can often be reached safely with ladders, a tower or edge protection. Higher roofs, steep pitches and large units usually need scaffold or a mobile platform, and heavy glass may need a crane. We assess access from your photos or at the survey, and any scaffold or lifting cost is shown as its own line on the written quote.
Ask for a quote for your Enniskillen roof. Survey dates are offered based on fitter availability once you are happy with the price.
