Rooflight upstands & kerbs for Yateley: the essentials
Thinking about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Yateley? 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Typical uses for rooflight upstands & kerbs include roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Yateley sits about 3 km from Sandhurst and 4 km from Crowthorne, and we cover the whole GU46 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for rooflight upstands & kerbs in Yateley
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Yateley
Why is my rooflight cold around the edge?
Usually an uninsulated upstand. Insulating the kerb and lining the reveal fixes most cold spots.
What roof coverings do you work with?
Single-ply, EPDM, felt, GRP and liquid-applied systems — or we coordinate with your roofer.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Yateley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Yateley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
