What do rooflight upstands & kerbs in Crieff involve?
Rooflight upstands & kerbs in Crieff means insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. We cover the PH7 district and the rest of Perth and Kinross, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Rooflight upstands & kerbs suit roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Jobs in Crieff are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Internal plaster-box linings
- Upstand repairs and rebuilds
- Raised upstands for deep green or ballasted roofs
- Proprietary insulated kerbs
- Upstands to suit single-ply, felt, GRP or liquid roofs
- Fixings and falls agreed with the rooflight maker
- Insulated to avoid a cold bridge
What to check first
- Insulation continuity around the upstand affects condensation
- Upstand size must match the unit within a tight tolerance
Planning and building rules for Crieff
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.

Questions about rooflight upstands & kerbs in Crieff
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.
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.
