Conservatory roof questions, answered
Straight answers to the questions we're asked most before a free survey. If you don't see yours here, just ask us directly.
Why is my conservatory too hot in summer and too cold in winter?
Most older conservatories have thin polycarbonate or single-glazed roofs that let heat pour in during summer and let warmth escape in winter. That's why the room often becomes too uncomfortable to use for much of the year, sitting empty when it could be a valuable part of the home.What are my options for upgrading a conservatory roof?
There are three main routes: internal roof insulation, an insulated solid panel roof upgrade, or a full tiled or solid roof conversion. Each suits different conservatories and budgets, and our team will recommend the right fit for your home after a free survey.Explore roof optionsWhich roof option is right for my conservatory?
