What do rooflight upstands & kerbs in Beverley involve?
Our rooflight upstands & kerbs service in Beverley 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.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms. Typical uses for rooflight upstands & kerbs include new flat-roof openings and rooflight replacements.
Beverley sits about 13 km from Hull and 18 km from Hornsea, and we cover the whole HU17 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Beverley?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Beverley: questions
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.
Does every rooflight need an upstand?
Flat and dome rooflights do. Pitched roof windows use flashing kits instead.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Beverley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Beverley free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
