How we approach rooflight upstands & kerbs in Daventry
Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Daventry means insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. We cover the NN11 district and the rest of Northamptonshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Typical uses for rooflight upstands & kerbs include roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Neighbouring towns include Rugby (14 km) and Towcester (18 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Daventry?
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.
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 Daventry: questions
What roof coverings do you work with?
Single-ply, EPDM, felt, GRP and liquid-applied systems — or we coordinate with your roofer.
Why is my rooflight cold around the edge?
Usually an uninsulated upstand. Insulating the kerb and lining the reveal fixes most cold spots.
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.
