Towns we list in County Tyrone
Builders and roofers working in County Tyrone can use us for the rooflight element of a job, wherever the site is in Northern Ireland. Homeowners can book us directly. In both cases the fitters come to the address, the work follows the maker's instructions, and a written quote fixes the price first. Fitting is carried out by vetted teams under S&K's direction.
Included in the work
- Engineer's calculations and the unit's loading data checked together
- Protective film removed and the anti-slip surface left clean
- Drainage around the unit checked so water does not lie on the glass
- Weight on delivery day — We plan the delivery and lift before booking any lifting gear or extra hands.
- Structural calculations — We need structural calculations for the glass and its support before a walk-on job goes ahead.
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
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 long does fitting take?
Fitting a walk-on rooflight into an existing, correctly sized opening is often a day's work. New openings take longer, because joists or rafters need trimming, an upstand or flashing has to be built or fitted, and the inside needs finishing. Large units that need lifting gear, and days lost to rain, can stretch things further. Your written quote gives a realistic estimate for your roof.
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.
