Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Bordon: what is involved?
We handle rooflight upstands & kerbs across Hampshire, including Bordon. 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of rooflight upstands & kerbs for roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
We work across Hampshire, including Bordon, and in neighbouring towns such as Farnham and Aldershot. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for rooflight upstands & kerbs in Bordon
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. 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.

Questions about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Bordon
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.
Can an old upstand be reused?
If it is sound, square, insulated and the right size. Often it is cheaper to rebuild than adapt.
