Conservatory Roof Replacement Corby

Our workshop is at Overstone Grange Farm in Moulton, a straight run up the A43 into Corby. We are not a national firm subcontracting the work out, and the surveyor who prices your job works with the fitters who build it.

Corby has two very different kinds of housing and both throw up different roofs. The 1950s and 1960s steelworks estates around Kingswood, Beanfield and Lloyds have conservatories added later onto solid brick rears, while Oakley Vale, Little Stanion and Priors Hall Park are 2000s builds where the conservatory went up with the house. Either way it is usually polycarbonate on a white uPVC frame. Those roofs hold no heat. The room is cold from November, unusable in a July heatwave, and rain on the panels carries through the whole house.

We replace that roof with a solid tiled one built around a custom timber frame, cut to the measurements of your conservatory rather than assembled from a kit. Timber conducts far less heat than aluminium and gives us the depth for proper insulation, bringing the roof to a U-value of 0.15, better than the roof over the rest of your house. A ventilated void above the insulation keeps moisture out of the structure.

Conservatory Solid Roof Conversion in Corby

A conversion replaces the glazing and framework of the existing roof while keeping your base and walls, which is what keeps the cost well below a full extension. At survey we check the base and the wall plate first, because a tiled roof is heavier than polycarbonate and the existing structure has to carry the load. If it will not, you will hear that at the survey rather than partway through the job.

On the newer Corby estates the conservatory is often tight between the house and a boundary fence with very little working room, so access and scaffold position get settled at survey rather than on the morning of the fit. We build to Edwardian, Gable, Lean To, P-shape and Victorian conservatory shapes. Building control sign-off comes through Stroma, and the finished work carries an insurance-backed guarantee of up to ten years.

Insulated Conservatory Ceilings and Conservatory Roof Insulation in Corby

Not every conservatory needs a new roof. Where the frame and glazing are sound, an insulated conservatory ceiling fitted inside the existing roof lifts thermal performance without structural work, and it costs considerably less. We finish these in plastered board or uPVC panelling, both of which sit flush and give the room the feel of a proper extension.

An insulated ceiling keeps heat in through winter and the worst of the sun out in summer, which turns the space into somewhere you would actually put a desk or a dining table. Corby sits higher and more exposed than most of the county, so these rooms lose heat quickly on a windy night, and the insulated ceiling is often the cheapest fix that actually changes that. If insulation alone will not be enough for your conservatory, we will say so at survey.

Replacing a Polycarbonate or Glass Conservatory Roof

Polycarbonate panels discolour and the seals between them fail, letting in draughts well before anything leaks. Glass roofs last longer but still leave a room that overheats badly. Replacing individual panels on either rarely buys more than a season.

We strip the old roof and take it away, then build the new structure onto your existing frame, usually inside two to three days on a standard conservatory. Same footprint, same doors, and a room that works all year.

Conservatory Roof Replacement in Corby: Your Questions Answered

How much does a replacement conservatory roof cost in Corby?

It depends on the size and shape of the conservatory and on whether you go for a full tiled roof or an insulated ceiling. You get a fixed written price after survey rather than a phone estimate.

Do I need building regulations approval?

Yes, for a full tiled roof. We handle the application and the job is signed off by Stroma Building Control, with an insurance-backed guarantee of up to ten years on completion.

Can my existing conservatory take a tiled roof?

Usually, though the base and wall plate have to carry the extra weight and our surveyor checks both before quoting. Where the structure will not take it we will talk you through an insulated ceiling instead.

Do you work on conservatories on new build estates?

Yes. Plenty of the Oakley Vale and Priors Hall conservatories we re-roof are only fifteen years old, and the fabric of the frame is usually fine. It is the roof that was never built to hold heat.
