Replacement Conservatory Roofs Cornwall

A replacement roof 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.

The old polycarbonate conservatory roof or glass roof styles are being replaced by energy-efficient solid conservatory roofs. We usually call these either a tiled conservatory roof or a warm roof. There are other options available, such as a Livinroof hybrid roof or a GRP warm roof. Being thermally efficient not only saves you money on heating bills but also saves the planet. Your replacement roof can add value to your home, so choosing roof tiles or a modern glazed roof may be worth the extra conservatory roof cost at the point of the installation of a replacement.

Yes, you can. In most cases there isn’t a problem with upgrading a polycarbonate or glass roof to a tiled conservatory roof. Modern tiled conservatory roofs are manufactured using lightweight framing materials and tiles which are suitable to install on existing conservatory frames. The conservatory roof cost is more than offset by the bump in the value of your extension. Replacement roofs can improve the sound insulation of your conservatory, reducing noise from neighbours, roads, and even airplanes. uPVC and aluminium frames are compatible lean-to construction, glass windows, Victorian conservatory styles, and almost anything in between.

A polycarbonate roof has a lifespan of around 20 years. Regular maintenance will prolong the lifespan of a polycarbonate or glass roof. Another factor that affects the lifespan of older roofs is the environment. A roof that is not shielded from the elements will fail a lot earlier.

You do not need to have a door between a conservatory and the house. However, before removing a door, there are some facts you should know. Here are a few points:
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.

You do not need planning permission for replacing a conservatory roof. 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.

Yes most homeowners with older conservatories with polycarbonate or glass roofs are opting for a solid tile conservatory top. Most solid tiled conservatory roofs are manufactured using lightweight materials, including the tiles which are suitable to place on existing conservatory frames. A replacement conservatory top can save you money on heating bills and transform your conservatory into a delightful space that can be used all year round, no matter what the season.

The best conservatory roof is a roof that matches the style of your home and is tailored to your needs. Everybody uses their conservatories for different purposes, so the best conservatory roof would very much depend on those variables. We consider both solid tiled replacement conservatory roofs and Livinroof, hybrid conservatory roofs to be the best conservatory roofs for those looking for a secure, thermally efficient conservatory roof.

Adding a solid ceiling to a conservatory certainly adds value. The exact figure varies between 5% and 12%, depending on where your home is located. Adding a solid top to a conservatory is a worthwhile investment. The replacement conservatory roof cost will pay for itself when it comes time to sell your home.
