Insulated Solid Panel Roof
Our Most popular Choice
Comfort: Brings a noticeable, year-round improvement, keeping the room usable whether it's a summer heatwave or a cold winter evening.
Appearance: A clean, solid finish inside and out, often with rooflights, that reads more like a proper extension than a conservatory.
Scope of work: Replaces the existing roof panels on the current frame, so it's a practical upgrade without a full rebuild.
Internal Roof Insulation
Comfort: Cuts down the extreme heat and cold that make conservatories hard to use, so the room stays more pleasant across the year.
Appearance: A smooth internal ceiling finish replaces the old roof lining, while the outside of the conservatory looks unchanged.
Scope of work: Works with your existing roof structure, so there's no rebuild and the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Full Tiled / Solid Roof Conversion
Comfort: Gives the most consistent, home-like comfort of the three, making the space feel like a genuine year-round room.
Appearance: Tiles matching your house roof turn the conservatory into what looks like a proper garden room, inside and out.
Scope of work: Involves the most substantial change to the existing roof structure and is the more disruptive of the three options.
Read more about each option.
Every conservatory is different, so we recommend a solution after seeing your roof in person. These pages explain what each option involves.
Internal Roof Insulation
An internal lining fitted to your existing roof structure to cut down heat loss and glare, at a lower cost than a full conversion.
Insulated Solid Panel Roof
Replace translucent polycarbonate panels and/or older inefficient glass roofs with attractive insulated solid panels — a practical middle-ground upgrade without the cost of a full tiled conversion.
Full Tiled / Solid Roof Conversion
A complete roof rebuild with tiles to match your house, turning the conservatory into a proper garden room used all year round.
