How we approach rooflight upstands & kerbs in Coalisland
For Coalisland 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.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Think of rooflight upstands & kerbs for new flat-roof openings and rooflight replacements.
Neighbouring towns include Dungannon (6 km) and Cookstown (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Coalisland?
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. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can an old upstand be reused?
If it is sound, square, insulated and the right size. Often it is cheaper to rebuild than adapt.
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.
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 do I book a survey in Coalisland?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Coalisland?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
