Rooflight upstands & kerbs for Goole: the essentials
Thinking about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Goole? The short answer: insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Think of rooflight upstands & kerbs for new flat-roof openings and rooflight replacements.
From Goole to Selby, Scunthorpe and Bentley, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Choices for your Goole project

- Correct height above the finished roof
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand size must match the unit within a tight tolerance
- Minimum upstand height is set by the rooflight manufacturer — commonly 150 mm above the finished roof
Do you need permission in Goole?
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
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.
Does every rooflight need an upstand?
Flat and dome rooflights do. Pitched roof windows use flashing kits instead.
Is the survey in Goole free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Goole?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
