Which flat roofs are common in County Fermanagh?
Flat roofs in County Fermanagh sit on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Northern Ireland averages roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, spread over many wet days, so a roof that sheds water quickly to clear outlets lasts far longer than one that holds puddles. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, renovating or replacing a roof over a heated room usually means meeting Technical Booklet F1, and building control should be contacted before work starts. Technical Booklet F1 sets roof insulation at 0.18 W/m²K when a roof over a heated room is renovated or newly built, where feasible. In County Fermanagh the application goes to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council. More on the rules.
How long does a dormer roof replacement take?
The roofing itself typically takes one to three days, with scaffold going up before and coming down after. Allow a few extra days overall for the scaffold.
The room under the dormer stays usable, though it will be noisy during the strip-out, and dust can fall through gaps around the ceiling. Moving furniture away from the window helps. Scaffold usually needs space on the drive or garden, and sometimes a pavement licence. GRP has a strong smell while it cures, so keep the dormer windows shut on the day it is laid.

Why does my dormer leak at the back where it meets the roof?
That junction is the most common leak point, usually because the upstand or flashing under the tiles has failed. A proper re-roof rebuilds it.

As an indicative range, GRP lasts 20–40 years with good specification and maintenance.
Will insulating my dormer roof make it higher?
Yes, by the insulation thickness. We plan the build-up so the new roof still sits correctly under the main roof tiles at the back edge.
