What do rooflight upstands & kerbs in Pudsey involve?
Our rooflight upstands & kerbs service in Pudsey covers insulated kerbs built and waterproofed to suit your rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Typical uses for rooflight upstands & kerbs include roofs where the old kerb is low, cold or leaking.
Pudsey is around 7 km from Leeds, and we survey and fit throughout that part of West Yorkshire, including the LS28 district.

Consents for rooflight upstands & kerbs in Pudsey
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. 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 Pudsey: questions
What roof coverings do you work with?
Single-ply, EPDM, felt, GRP and liquid-applied systems — or we coordinate with your roofer.
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.
Can an old upstand be reused?
If it is sound, square, insulated and the right size. Often it is cheaper to rebuild than adapt.
