Overview
Why conservatory upgrades?
If your conservatory is too cold in winter and too hot in summer, you don't always need to knock it down. Replacing the roof, the glass or the doors can make it usable all year.
The most effective upgrade is usually an insulated roof conversion. We assess the frame, base and roof at a free survey and price the options.
Usable all year
An insulated roof is the biggest single improvement.
Keep the footprint
Upgrade without rebuilding from the ground up.
New glass or doors
Replace failed units, add solar-control glass or new doors.
Less disruption
Usually quicker than a full replacement.

Good to know
Planning, regulations and timings
Building Regulations
Replacing a glass or polycarbonate roof with a solid roof usually needs Building Regulations approval, because it changes the structure and the room's thermal performance.
Frame and base check
A roof conversion only makes sense if the frame and base are sound — we check both before recommending it.
Designed after a free survey
Every one is designed for its site, so there is no honest 'typical' price. We measure and design it at a free design survey, and you get a written quote before anything is ordered.
Questions
Conservatory upgrades: your questions answered
How much does a conservatory roof conversion cost?
It depends on the size, shape and condition of the frame and base, so we price it after a free survey. You get a written quote with the options before anything is ordered.
Do I need Building Regulations approval to replace a conservatory roof?
Usually, yes, if you're changing to a solid roof. Like-for-like glass replacement normally doesn't.
Can I just replace the glass?
Yes. New sealed units — including solar-control glass — can make a big difference if the frames are in good condition.
Is it better to upgrade or replace a conservatory?
If the frame and base are sound, upgrading is usually better value. If they've failed, replacement may be the only sensible option. The survey tells you which.
