Three ways to get your conservatory back
Most conservatories were built with a polycarbonate roof that lets the heat in all summer and out all winter. Whether you want a fully insulated room, all the natural light with none of the glare, or a smart cost-effective refresh, we fit the right roof for how you live: surveyed, supplied and installed by our own team across the South West and South Wales.
A new roof deserves frames that will last as long as it does, so most of our roofs go on as part of a complete conservatory replacement. Where your existing structure is sound, we can fit a new roof on its own; we check that at your free survey.
Tiled Roof
Turn a too-hot, too-cold conservatory into a room you use all year.
A fully insulated solid roof in place of glass or polycarbonate. The system is pre-engineered in the UK to our survey measurements: lightweight tiles over a highly insulated timber structure, with a plastered vaulted ceiling inside. It transforms the temperature, cuts rain noise and turns your conservatory into a proper extra room.
- ✓ Manufacturer-quoted U-value 0.12 W/m²K
- ✓ Plastered vaulted ceiling
- ✓ Far quieter in the rain
- ✓ Roof windows or a lantern for daylight
- ✓ Choice of tile styles and colours
- ✓ 25-year manufacturer's warranty, 40 years on tiles
Glass Roof
Keep the light and the view, lose the glare and the heat.
A modern glass roof floods your conservatory with daylight while performance glass reflects summer heat and holds warmth in winter. Any shape or size, with slim sightlines, an optional insulated pelmet for a room-like feel and a choice of frame colours.
- ✓ Solar-control performance glass
- ✓ 24mm or 32mm glazing
- ✓ Any shape, any size
- ✓ Optional insulated internal pelmet
- ✓ White, grey, woodgrain or any RAL colour
- ✓ Opening roof vents available
Polycarbonate Roof
A smart, cost-effective replacement that gets your room back.
Multiwall polycarbonate on the same strong roof structure as our glass roof is the lightweight, budget-friendly option. Modern panels insulate noticeably better than the old sheets most conservatories were built with and come in a choice of tints, so the room is weather-tight and usable again.
- ✓ Lightweight and cost-effective
- ✓ Modern multiwall panels
- ✓ Choice of tints
- ✓ Quick, low-disruption fit
- ✓ Same strong structure as the glass roof
- ✓ Opening roof vents available
Roof windows and lanterns for tiled roofs
A tiled roof does not have to mean a dark room. Roof windows and aluminium roof lanterns are built into the tiled roof at the factory, so you keep the insulation and get the daylight.

Conservatory Roofs — FAQs
Do you replace just the roof on an existing conservatory?
Sometimes. We would rather not put a new roof on old frames: a new roof deserves frames that will last as long as it does, so most of our conservatory roofs go on as part of a complete conservatory replacement with new frames. If your existing structure is sound, we can fit a new roof on its own. We check the frames, base and structure at your free survey and tell you honestly which is the right route.
Which conservatory roof is right for me?
If your conservatory is too hot in summer and too cold in winter, a tiled roof makes the biggest difference and gives you a proper extra room. If you love the light and the view, a modern performance-glass roof keeps them while cutting glare and heat. If the roof has simply failed or discoloured and budget matters most, polycarbonate is the cost-effective fix. We talk it through at your free survey and recommend one option, not a hard sell.
Will a new roof make the room usable all year?
A tiled roof with full insulation and a plastered ceiling is the closest thing to a built extension, so yes, it stays comfortable through summer and winter. Performance glass also performs far better than the old polycarbonate most conservatories were built with. We will tell you honestly what each option will and will not do for your room.
Do I need planning permission or building regulations approval?
Replacing a conservatory or its roof on the existing footprint is usually permitted development, so planning permission is rarely needed. A solid tiled roof does need building regulations approval. The tiled roof system we fit is independently tested with LABC system approval and comes with full structural calculations, and we arrange the building control process for you as part of the job. We confirm what applies to your home at the survey.
How long does a new conservatory roof take?
Your tiled roof is pre-fabricated in the factory to our survey measurements, so the fitting itself is quick and disruption is kept to a minimum. Glass and polycarbonate roofs are also made to measure. We confirm the timescale for your conservatory at the survey.
Is a new conservatory roof guaranteed?
Yes. Every conservatory roof we fit comes with our 15-year guarantee and Installsure insurance-backed protection, and it is installed by our FENSA-registered team (Reg. No. 39576). The tiled roof system also carries the manufacturer's 25-year warranty, with 40 years on the tiles.
Can I add roof windows or a roof lantern?
Yes. Roof windows (manual, electric or solar-powered) and aluminium roof lanterns can be built into a tiled roof to bring the daylight back, and glass roofs can include opening roof vents. We will show you the options at your survey.
