Transform Your Conservatory
No need to change the complete conservatory. We will replace the ring beam and build a completely new roof. You can even choose a different shape.
Benefits of a Tiled Conservatory Roof
The windows remain so you will still feel that connection to the garden. You also could have the option to replace windows with uPVC panels that can also be plastered. This is useful if the view on one side has changed since your conservatory was built.
Replacement Conservatory Roofs
It’s likely that planning rules have changed since your conservatory was built. A solid roof extension was probably cost-prohibitive. Now that restrictions have been relaxed, you can usually replace your roof without planning permission.
Completely Weatherproof
This year instead of closing the door on your conservatory, snuggle up cosy and warm and watch the seasons change.
These unused and neglected conservatories have found new life as quiet places to work away from the family. Most conservatories are used as additional rooms to relax in, but if you want to use one as an office long-term, a new solid roof will ensure that you can see the computer screen and feel comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. A conservatory that is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter will not make a good working environment.
Of course, you want reassurance before getting a quote for a replacement conservatory roof. You don’t want to get your hopes up to find it’s not feasible or to feel silly. There’s a lot of variation in the price of conservatory roof solutions. It really does depend on the type of roof, the size and the configuration. You may need new guttering, or you may have extra plastering done and electrics installed. These and other items will affect the cost.
The cost of retrofitting a solid conservatory roof to an existing conservatory depends on several factors, including the size and style of your current conservatory. The more elaborate the shape, the higher the cost.
Your budget for a tiled roof will play a large part in your decision, but you also must be careful to make the right choice. Home improvements are an investment and should enhance the value or saleability of your home and make a difference to your happiness in your home.
When you consider that you are transforming your conservatory into a year round living space with a tiled roof, you can compare the cost with the construction of a new extension. It’s not until you see the finished product that you can really appreciate the value.
Naturally, we offer a free no obligation quote with no pressure. Our prices are competitive when compared to other quality lightweight tiled roof solutions.
Not long ago, you most certainly would have required planning permission to change your conservatory roof. A solid tiled roof means that your conservatory no longer meets the 75% glass rule. However, Building Regulations rules have changed along with guidelines for permitted development. If your conservatory was built under permitted development rights, then you would equally have been allowed an extension under today’s rules.

Yes, it doesn’t matter which roof you currently have. We completely replace the ring beam. That’s the part your roof sits on. Then we fit the new solid roof on top of that. It will be like having a brand new conservatory.
The main benefit of a thermally efficient lightweight roofing system is that your conservatory becomes a year round living space. You’ll benefit from improved energy efficiency which should help reduce energy bills compared to traditional glass or a polycarbonate roof.
Improved insulation means that you’ll spend more time in the room which may even prolong your stay there if you felt that the house was a bit small. A new lightweight roofing system is the perfect solution for adding an extension in an affordable way.
It doesn’t matter so much in the summer as we spend more time outside but you will really feel the benefit in the winter months.
Other benefits may include increased house value or saleability, reduced glare if you want to use computers or watch TV.
