Can you Replace a Conservatory Roof?
Leaks, drafts, and significant changes in temperature are common problems with older conservatory roofs. In many cases, replacing the roof may be the best option, as it is a less expensive alternative to rebuilding the entire structure. Providing your current substructure is strong and you are happy with the dimensions and layout, installing a new roof will effectively tackle the common problems linked to older conservatories.
However, before going on this journey, you must first have a thorough understanding of the steps involved. To save you the time and effort in conducting research, we’ve put all of the necessary information regarding installing a new roof on your old conservatory right here.
Why Replace a Conservatory Roof?
There are several reasons why you should consider replacing their conservatory roof:
- As conservatories age, the roofs may develop leaks, resulting in water damage and structural difficulties.
- Older conservatory roofs tend to lack proper insulation, leading to uncomfortable temperatures and higher energy costs.
- Upgrading the roof allows you to improve the conservatory’s aesthetic appeal while also increasing its market value.
- Replacing an old roof with a more energy efficient one will help you meet new construction regulations and standards.

Flat roofs can improve privacy by limiting sight lines and winds while enabling natural sunlight to enter your conservatory, offering warmth, cosiness, and protection against draughts and water incursion. They withstand a variety of weather conditions, increasing property value while providing year-round comfort.
Our flat roofs, which come in a variety of colours and textures, fit in perfectly with the exterior of your home. Our team creates custom packages based on your home’s size and specifications, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation.

A solid conservatory roof maintains the temperature of your home all year, ensuring that you are comfortable in any season. Enjoy a cool summer without worrying about overheating, while also preventing your furniture from deteriorating.
Considerations Before Replacing a Conservatory Roof
Before starting your conservatory roof project, we would advise you to consider the following factors:
Planning Permission
If you replace a polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof with a solid, tiled roof, the structure will become more permanent. However, most conservatory roof replacements are considered ‘permitted development,’ which means you do not need to apply for Planning Permission. However, we will investigate on your behalf to see if a Planning Permission application is required. Some exceptional exclusions apply, such as if your property is in a conservation area or a listed structure. If you do require it, we will manage the entire process with the local council.
Budget
The cost of replacing a conservatory roof varies according to the material used, the size of the conservatory, and any additional features such as roof windows or ventilation.
Professional Installation
While it sounds tempting for homeowners to replace their conservatory roofs themselves, we recommend you to contact an experienced professional. Professional installers have the necessary skills and ability to provide a high quality finish while adhering to safety guidelines.
