The best choice for solid conservatory roof

Conservatory Roof Replacement Solihull

Most of the conservatories we re-roof around Solihull were put up between the late 1990s and the mid 2000s, which almost always means a polycarbonate roof sitting on a white uPVC frame. Those roofs were never built to hold heat. The room runs cold from November onwards, becomes unusable in a July heatwave, and heavy rain is loud enough to be heard through the rest of the house.

We replace that roof with a solid tiled warm roof built around a custom timber frame, cut to the measurements of your existing conservatory rather than assembled from a standard kit. Timber conducts far less heat than the aluminium systems some installers use, and it gives us the depth to pack in proper insulation. The finished roof reaches a U-value of 0.15, better than the roof over the rest of your house, with a ventilated void above the insulation so moisture cannot build up in the structure.

Our workshop is at Overstone Grange Farm in Moulton, which puts our surveyors and fitters a straight run down the M1 and M6 into B90, B91, B92 and B93.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Conversion in Solihull

A conversion replaces the glazing and framework of the existing roof while keeping your conservatory 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 it. If it will not, we will tell you at that visit rather than halfway through the job.

The roof is built around your conservatory shape, whether that is Edwardian, Gable, Lean To, P-shape or Victorian. Building control sign-off comes through Stroma, and the work carries an insurance-backed guarantee of up to ten years.

Conservatory Insulation and Insulated Ceilings in Solihull

Not every conservatory needs a full roof replacement. Where the frame and glazing are still sound, an insulated conservatory ceiling fitted inside the existing roof will lift thermal performance without any 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, a home office or a snug. If you are not sure whether insulation alone is enough for your conservatory in Solihull, we will give you a straight answer at survey rather than sell you the bigger job.

Replacing a Polycarbonate or uPVC Conservatory Roof

Polycarbonate panels discolour, the seals between them fail, and the gaps let in draughts long before anything actually leaks. Older uPVC roof bars go the same way. Once a roof is at that stage, patching individual panels rarely buys more than a season.

We strip the old roof and take it away, then build the new structure onto the existing frame, usually inside two to three days on a standard conservatory. You keep the same footprint and the same doors, and the room goes from somewhere you avoid half the year to part of the house.

Conservatory Roof Replacement in Solihull: Your Questions Answered

How much does a replacement conservatory roof cost in Solihull?

Cost depends on the size and shape of the conservatory and on whether you want a full tiled roof or an insulated ceiling. We give a fixed written price after survey, not an estimate over the phone.

Do I need building regulations approval?

Yes. Replacing a conservatory roof with a solid one is notifiable work. We handle it for you and the job is signed off by Stroma Building Control, and you receive an insurance-backed guarantee of up to ten years on completion.

Can my existing conservatory take a tiled roof?

Usually, but not always. The base and wall plate have to carry the extra weight. Our surveyor checks both before we quote, and if the structure is not up to it we will say so and talk you through an insulated ceiling instead.
