What do rooflight upstands & kerbs in Rhosllannerchrugog involve?
Our rooflight upstands & kerbs service in Rhosllannerchrugog covers insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Rooflight upstands & kerbs suit roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Neighbouring towns include Wrexham (6 km) and Buckley (18 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for rooflight upstands & kerbs in Rhosllannerchrugog
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Your builder can, to our drawing. We check it before the rooflight is fitted, because the unit must sit square and level.
