I have just had the leaky polycarbonate roof replaced by Jay and his excellent team on my 15 year old conservatory. I chose the Ultraroof system and their brochures don’t lie, it has made such an improvement! Customer liaison was excellent and Jay is always available to discuss minor adjustments to the plan as they developed. I would recommend Best Glaze without question; you won’t be disappointed!

The Benefits Of A Conservatory Roof Replacement
Cost Effective
A conservatory roof may suffer from problems as it gets older. Leaks, mould and condensation are common. If this sounds like your conservatory, then a conservatory repair or a conservatory roof replacement can transform your conservatory into a beautiful room at much less cost than a completely new build. A conservatory roof replacement can save money on heating bills whilst also adding value to your home in Cornwall. Make your conservatory or orangery more comfortable, attractive, and valuable with a new roof.
Thermally Efficient
Older conservatories are usually not very thermally efficient because they use polycarbonate roofs. These are notorious for allowing heat to escape and costing money on energy bills. Our conservatory roof replacement options have amazing thermal efficiency thanks to the built-in insulation and thermally broken design. Replacing your conservatory roof with a new solid conservatory roof design can make your conservatory a warmer room in the winter, a cooler room in the summer, and a more valuable part of your home.

Is it worth replacing a conservatory roof?
A conservatory roof replacement is absolutely worth the expenditure. A conservatory adds at least 5% to the value of your property. Keeping your conservatory in excellent condition protects this investment.
Older polycarbonate or glass roofs are simply not fit for purpose. Older conservatories struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature. They are often too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Because older conservatory roofs are poor at regulating temperature, secondary issues may arise such as dampness because of condensation, mould, twisting frames, or slipping panels that cause leaks.
A replacement conservatory roof will totally transform a tired old conservatory into a useable living space, add value to your home, and save you money on energy bills.

Do you need to have a door between the house and conservatory?
First, removing a door between a house and a conservatory means that the conservatory does not fall under the permitted builds act. This means you will need a full an application to satisfy building regulations.
Second, the change to your extension may require you to notify your local authority.
Finally, you may need to consider the impact on your heating system. Keeping a conservatory warm is easier with a door. Doors also help the conservatories function better all year round.
Do you need planning permission to change the roof on a conservatory?
You do not need planning permission for a conservatory roof replacement. Replacement roofs can be installed without planning permission if you stick to the official guidelines. Here are the five key points:
1. Does NOT Exceed over half the width of the main structure
2. Does NOT incorporate a veranda, balcony, or any type of raised platform
3. ISN’T higher than the highest part of the property’s roof
4. Does NOT extend beyond the main property’s front or side elevation
5. ISN’T higher than 4 metres if fitted onto the side of the property
Your replacement roof should still satisfy all building regulations. Building control regulations exist to ensure your house roof is sound and provides the necessary structural integrity to your home.
