Conservatory Roof Replacement Hemel Hempstead

Most conservatories we replace roofs for in Hemel Hempstead were built between the late 1990s and the mid 2000s, which means a polycarbonate roof on a white uPVC frame. Those roofs were never designed to hold heat. The rooms run cold from November and become unusable in a July heatwave, and the rain noise is loud enough to be heard through the house.

We replace that roof with a solid tiled one built around a custom timber frame, made to the measurements of your existing conservatory rather than a standard kit. Our workshop is at Overstone Grange Farm in Moulton, which puts our surveyors and fitters a short drive up the A5 and M1 from HP1, HP2 and HP3.

The survey tells us what the existing base and wall plate will carry before anything is ordered. If your frame needs strengthening first, or if an insulated ceiling would do the job for less money, we will say that at survey rather than quote you for work you do not need.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Conversion in Hemel Hempstead

A conversion keeps the conservatory you already have and changes the one part of it that fails. The existing frame, glazing and base stay in place. The old roof comes off and a lightweight tiled roof goes on, usually inside a few days on site rather than weeks.

What makes the difference is what sits above the new plastered ceiling. Our timber structure does not conduct heat and cold the way an aluminium system does, and it takes a deeper layer of insulation than most roof kits allow. That gets the finished roof to a U-value of 0.15. For comparison, a modern house roof is typically built to around 0.15 as well, so the conservatory ends up performing like part of the house rather than a glass box attached to it. The roof void is ventilated beneath the tiles, so moisture does not sit in the structure.

Every installation is signed off through Stroma Building Control and comes with an insurance backed guarantee of up to ten years.

Conservatory Insulation and Insulated Ceilings in Hemel Hempstead

Not every conservatory needs a full roof replacement. Where the existing frame and glazing are sound, an insulated conservatory ceiling fitted inside the roof will lift the thermal performance without structural work. 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 holds heat in through winter and keeps the worst of the summer sun out, which makes the room usable as a dining space, an office or a snug rather than somewhere you avoid half the year. If you are unsure whether insulation alone will be enough for your conservatory in Hemel Hempstead, we will tell you straight at survey.

Conservatory Roof Replacement in Hemel Hempstead: Your Questions Answered

How much does a replacement conservatory roof cost in Hemel Hempstead?

Cost depends on the size and shape of your conservatory, the roof style and the finish you choose. A lean to roof on a small conservatory sits at the lower end, while a large Victorian or P shaped roof with skylights sits higher. We survey the conservatory, measure the existing structure and give you a written quote with no obligation, so you know the figure before committing to anything.

Do I need building regulations approval to replace my conservatory roof?

Swapping a glass or polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is a change to the structure, so it falls under building regulations. We handle that as part of the job. Our installations are signed off through Stroma Building Control and you receive the certification on completion, along with an insurance backed guarantee of between two and ten years.

Can my existing conservatory take a tiled roof?

Usually yes. Our roof system is built from lightweight timber and lightweight tiles specifically so it can sit on a frame and base originally designed for glass. What matters is the condition of the existing frame, the base and the wall plate, which is what our surveyor checks. If anything needs strengthening first we will say so before you commit, rather than finding it on fit day.
