What do rooflight upstands & kerbs in Deeside involve?
Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Deeside means insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. We cover the CH5 district and the rest of Clwyd, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. In Deeside, as anywhere, rooflight upstands & kerbs are the usual choice for new flat-roof openings and rooflight replacements.
Deeside sits about 2 km from Hawarden and 5 km from Buckley, and we cover the whole CH5 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Deeside
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Questions about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Deeside
Why is my rooflight cold around the edge?
Usually an uninsulated upstand. Insulating the kerb and lining the reveal fixes most cold spots.
What roof coverings do you work with?
Single-ply, EPDM, felt, GRP and liquid-applied systems — or we coordinate with your roofer.
Can an old upstand be reused?
If it is sound, square, insulated and the right size. Often it is cheaper to rebuild than adapt.
