Rooflight upstands & kerbs for Hazel Grove: the essentials
We handle rooflight upstands & kerbs across Greater Manchester, including Hazel Grove. In short: insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Typical uses for rooflight upstands & kerbs include roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Hazel Grove, and in neighbouring towns such as Stockport and Cheadle Hulme. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for rooflight upstands & kerbs in Hazel Grove
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Hazel Grove: questions
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.
Does every rooflight need an upstand?
Flat and dome rooflights do. Pitched roof windows use flashing kits instead.
Can an old upstand be reused?
If it is sound, square, insulated and the right size. Often it is cheaper to rebuild than adapt.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hazel Grove?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Hazel Grove free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
