Rooflight upstands & kerbs for Lurgan: the essentials
For Lurgan homes and buildings we offer rooflight upstands & kerbs: insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Rooflight upstands & kerbs suit roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Jobs in Lurgan are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Specification options
- Upstand repairs and rebuilds
- Upstands to suit single-ply, felt, GRP or liquid roofs
- Proprietary insulated kerbs
- Raised upstands for deep green or ballasted roofs
- Internal plaster-box linings
- Membrane dressed up and sealed
- Insulated to avoid a cold bridge
Before you order: points to check
- Membrane compatibility with the rooflight's sealants
- Upstand size must match the unit within a tight tolerance
Planning, building control and Lurgan
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Lurgan
Can I build the upstand myself?
Your builder can, to our drawing. We check it before the rooflight is fitted, because the unit must sit square and level.
How high should a rooflight upstand be?
High enough to meet the rooflight manufacturer's minimum above the finished roof surface — commonly 150 mm. On roofs with deep finishes, such as green roofs, it needs to be taller.
Why is my rooflight cold around the edge?
Usually an uninsulated upstand. Insulating the kerb and lining the reveal fixes most cold spots.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Lurgan?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Lurgan?
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage.
