Conservatory Roof Replacement Rushden

Our workshop is at Overstone Grange Farm in Moulton, about twenty minutes from Rushden on the A45. We are not a national firm subcontracting the work out, and the surveyor who prices your job works with the fitters who build it.

Rushden is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces from the boot and shoe years, with post war and 1990s estates spreading out towards Higham Ferrers and the newer housing off the Northampton Road. The conservatories we are asked to re-roof are nearly all polycarbonate on a white uPVC frame, put up between the late 1990s and the mid 2000s. 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.

We also cover the surrounding towns and villages. Higham Ferrers, Irchester, Wymington, Knuston, Chelveston, Raunds, Stanwick, Podington and Newton Bromswold are all a short drive from the workshop, and we work throughout east Northamptonshire on the same terms. Being this local means we can usually survey within a few days rather than a few weeks.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Conversion in Rushden

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.

Terraced plots in Rushden are often long and narrow with access only through the house or a shared entry, so we agree at survey how materials come in and where the old roof goes out before we book the job. 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 and Solid Conservatory Roofs in Rushden

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.

A solid or insulated roof 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. On a south facing Rushden conservatory the summer temperature is usually the complaint that starts the enquiry, and that is the thing a solid roof fixes outright. 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.

New Conservatory Roofs in Rushden: Your Questions Answered

How much does a replacement conservatory roof cost in Rushden?

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.

Will a new roof add value to the house?

It turns a room that is only usable for part of the year into one that counts as proper living space, which is what buyers and valuers respond to. We cannot put a figure on it, but a cold polycarbonate conservatory is a negative at viewing and a solid roofed room is not.
