Replace the roof,
keep the conservatory.

It depends on the roof, the size and shape of the conservatory, the glass panels you want and the finish inside. We survey for free and give you one written price for the roof, the fitting and the finish. See what sets the price. Finance is available at 12.9% APR representative.

Usually not, as long as the size and shape stay the same. If the conservatory itself needed permission, the new roof might too, and listed buildings, conservation areas and some new-builds have their own rules. We check yours at the survey.

For a solid roof, yes: changing a glazed roof to a solid one means Building Regulations apply. Ultraroof and Livinroof have system approval from MFA Building Control and Stroma, and SupaLite’s tiled roof from Stroma. We arrange it all. Building Control still inspects your roof, and you get a completion certificate to keep with your deeds: a buyer’s solicitor will ask for it. A new glass roof doesn’t usually need approval.

Usually. Livinroof weighs 31 kg/m² and Ultraroof 38 kg/m², not much more than a glass roof, and SupaLite’s tiled roof under 46 kg/m², so the original frames can often stay, and the extra load on the base is very small. The makers require a check of the frames, base and walls, so we look for any sign of movement at the survey and tell you honestly if they need work.

A simple Ultraframe roof goes on in a day, and a solid roof is plastered over the next day or so. SupaLite says its tiled roof takes 3 to 4 days on a standard conservatory, before plastering. Bigger or more complicated shapes take longer, and we’ll tell you with your quote. We protect your floor and furniture while we work.

Not if you don’t want to. Ultraroof can have full-length glass panels, and Livinroof can have glass in almost any shape, wherever the light is wanted, such as over a dining table or by the door to the next room. SupaLite’s SkyVista panels are self-cleaning, solar-control glass set into the tiles, letting in about 45% of the light. Or keep a glass roof, in better glass.

A lot. Ultraroof, Livinroof and SupaLite’s tiled roof are all insulated to a U-value of 0.15, and Ultraframe says its roofs are up to 15 times better at keeping heat in than the roof being replaced. The room stays cooler in summer, too.

Yes. Ultraroof, Livinroof, the Glass Roof and SupaLite’s tiled roof can all be made for Victorian, Edwardian, lean-to, gable-end and P-shaped conservatories. Livinroof also suits low-pitched lean-tos, from 5°.

Yes. Spotlights or speakers go in the insulated pelmet around the edge, and a solid roof has braces inside its plasterboard, so pendant lights can hang from the highest point. A glass roof can have a central lighting panel along the ridge.

Yes. Ultraroof and Livinroof have each been fire tested as complete roofs by independent laboratories, and both are rated B_ROOF under EN 13501-5. SupaLite’s tiled roof has Stroma system approval, which includes the regulation on fire spreading over a roof.

Not usually: the roof is designed to go on the frames you have. If they’re tired, or you’d like bifolds, we can replace them at the same time, so the windows, doors and roof all match.

We don’t clad over old roofs. We take the old roof off and fit a complete new one. Ultraframe and SupaLite both warn against clad-overs: extra weight on frames that weren’t built for it, condensation, no fire test of the whole roof, and no Building Regulations approval.

A 10-year guarantee from its maker, Ultraframe or SupaLite. It covers the roof, not the fitting, and Ultraframe gives 5 years on painted and foiled parts and 1 year on electrics. Ask us to explain our own cover for the work before you order.
