Covering Magherafelt and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
We cover Magherafelt as part of County Londonderry, about 33 miles from Derry~Londonderry.
Neighbouring places we cover include Cookstown (9 miles), Ballymena (15 miles), Antrim (17 miles).
Rules for lantern work in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
