Can you put a new roof on an old conservatory

Written by Marc Howe

With the Future Homes Standard scheduled for 2025, the race to net-zero emissions by 2050 is in full swing throughout Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and the surrounding areas. As a consequence, our premium conservatory roof replacements are incredibly popular with the Aylesbury community for a variety of reasons – mainly for improving insulation and warmth, as well as heightening kerb appeal.

Can I change the roof on my conservatory?

Yes, most polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs can be replaced with modern tiled alternatives like the advanced Guardian™ Warm Roof. Weighing considerably less than traditional roofing materials, lightweight tiled conservatory roof replacements can be retrofitted onto most existing conservatory frames, safely supporting the existing conservatory structure, and putting it back in use for many more enjoyable years to come.

There are many advantages to replacing your old conservatory roof, including:

• Cheaper and quicker than rebuilding a new conservatory from scratch
• The space can be comfortably used all year round, come rain or shine
• Usually exempt from planning permission approval
• Thermally efficient
• Saves money on energy bills
• More privacy
• Roof window and skylight options for the best of both worlds
• Enviable finishing touches like plastered ceilings and integrated spotlights and speakers seamlessly integrate the space with the rest of the house
• Can increase property value by 10%. In the last year, properties in Aylesbury had an overall average price of £307,526, so a quality conservatory roof replacement holds the potential to increase your property value by £30,752!

Signs your conservatory roof needs replacing

If you’re unsure whether your conservatory roof needs replacing, check if any of these tell-tale signs apply:

• Polycarbonate roof over 15 years old
• Glass roof over 20 years old
• Damaged roof panels and tiles
• Condensation, damp and mould
• Too hot to use in summer
• Too cold to use in winter
• Leaks
• Draughts
• Rattles
• Sagging
• Moss growth
• Pest infestation

If you can relate to any of these issues, don’t hesitate to contact us.
