Guide ranges for labour and materials, rooflight not included. 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.
Towns we list in County Tyrone
Coverage in County Tyrone works by postcode, not by distance from an office. Give us the full postcode and we will confirm whether it is standard cover, as it is for most of Northern Ireland, or one of the few remote and island areas handled by arrangement. Either way, you get a written quote before any work is booked, with travel included in the price.
Included in the work
- Height set above the finished roof to the maker's stated minimum
- Kerb sized from the maker's drawing, internal and external dimensions both checked
- Fall built into the kerb where the rooflight needs one
- Roof covering compatibility — We check what the roof is covered in before choosing how the membrane meets the kerb.
- Energy limit for site-built kerbs — We insulate the kerb to what building control in Northern Ireland expects; England and Wales set 0.35 W/m²K for site-built upstands.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland's building regulations set a minimum of WER Band C or 1.6 W/m²K for rooflights and roof windows in existing homes, assessed under Technical Booklet F1. New openings involve trimming the roof structure, so expect a building control application. Many house rooflights don't need planning permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are excluded, and side windows near a boundary have obscure-glazing rules. We confirm what applies.
Common questions in County Tyrone
Do you offer trade rates for builders and roofers?
We carry out subcontract fitting for builders, roofers, extension companies and commercial contractors. Pricing is per job or per schedule of units, agreed in writing before we start. We can work to your programme, fit on your upstand or build our own, and leave the opening ready for the next trade. Send drawings or a unit schedule and we will come back with a trade quote.
Can you remove and dispose of the old rooflight?
Yes. Taking out the old unit is part of any replacement job, and it leaves with the rest of the waste unless you ask to keep it. Old domes, glass and frames go through proper waste routes. If removal turns up a rotten kerb or damaged decking, we show you what we have found and agree the repair with you before going any further.
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.
