Conservatory Roof Replacement Wellingborough

Our workshop is at Overstone Grange Farm in Moulton, fifteen minutes from Wellingborough along the A43 and the A509. We are not a national firm subcontracting the work out, and the surveyor who prices your job works with the fitters who build it.

Wellingborough is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces nearer the centre and large post war and 1990s estates out towards Redwell, Queensway and Hemmingwell, with Stanton Cross and Glenvale Park newer still. The conservatories we are asked to re-roof are almost all on the estate housing, 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.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Conversion in Wellingborough

A conservatory solid roof 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.

Lightweight tiles matter here more than most places, because a lot of the Wellingborough conservatories we price were built onto shallow footings on estate plots where the ground is clay. A lightweight tiled system keeps the dead load low enough for the original base to carry it in most cases. 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 in Wellingborough, Plastered or uPVC Finish

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 in a uPVC panelled finish, both of which sit flush and give the room the feel of a proper extension. The uPVC finish wipes clean and suits kitchens and utility conservatories, while plaster takes paint and matches the rest of the house.

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. 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 Wellingborough: Your Questions Answered

How much does a replacement conservatory roof cost in Wellingborough?

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 conservatory ceiling instead.

Is an energy efficient conservatory roof worth it on a small conservatory?

Yes. The smaller the room, the faster it overheats and the faster it loses heat, so the change in how usable it feels is usually more obvious on a three by three metre lean to than on a large Victorian.
