The tried and tested roofing system that transforms your conservatory.

The interior finish provides you with a vaulted ceiling with integrated lighting and amongst the very best insulation available in the replacement roofing market.

“Making rooms out of conservatories” – a phrase that is well suited to the transformation achieved with the SupaLite warmroof.

Heavily insulated to create a warm room in the winter and nice and cool in the summer

The SupaLite roofing system creates a space that is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The testing and product development has created a system that incorporates multiple layers of insulation, integrating air flow channels to prevent condensation.

“When replacing your old conservatory roof with a SupaLite, roof you are immediately reducing your properties carbon footprint and reducing your energy costs”

Why replace a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof?

A conservatory with a glass or polycarbonate roof can be too hot in summer and too cold in winter, which makes it hard to use all year round. Glass has improved, but it still cannot insulate as well as a solid roof.

A warm roof is fully insulated, so the room stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

If condensation is a problem in your home, our ventilation and condensation guide explains the causes and simple steps that help.

Warm roof options: SupaLite, Guardian and Ultraframe

We work with more than one roofing manufacturer, so you have a choice of warm roof systems. At our showroom you can see the different options, including Guardian, SupaLite and Ultraframe.

The SupaLite roof is built from rafters, insulation, plasterboard and lightweight tiles. It uses multiple layers of insulation, with air-flow channels to prevent condensation. Inside, it finishes as a vaulted ceiling with integrated lighting.

What a conservatory roof replacement involves

Every conservatory is different, but in general terms the work runs like this:

  • Advice and a free quote. We find out what you want from the room and advise you on the best options for your budget. Then we price the job and give you a quote.
  • Building regulations. Where certification is needed, we arrange it, from the building inspector’s visits to the certificate. Our building regulations and planning guide explains more.
  • Removing the old roof. The glass or polycarbonate roof comes off.
  • Fitting the new roof. The insulated roof is built on your conservatory and tiled.
  • Finishing inside. With SupaLite, the inside becomes a vaulted ceiling with integrated lighting.
  • Sign-off. You receive the building regulations certificate, which you can file with the deeds of your property.

Want to keep some glass? Other roof options

A solid roof lets in less daylight than glass. If you like looking up at the sky, a lantern roof combines glass with a solid roof, for extra light and an open feel.

If your conservatory has a flat felt roof, we can replace the felt with a fully insulated flat EPDM rubber roof, such as Firestone RubberCover. You can compare lantern, glazed, flat and solid insulated roofs on our conservatory roof styles page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a conservatory roof replacement cost?

Every conservatory is different, so we price each job individually. We find out what you want from the room, advise you on the best options for your budget and give you a free quote. There is no over-pricing and no pretend discounts. A new roof costs a fraction of the price of an extension.

Can I replace my conservatory roof with a solid roof?

Yes. Building regulations allow you to put a solid roof on an existing conservatory. We take off the glass or polycarbonate roof, fit a warm, insulated tiled roof in its place and arrange the building regulations certificate.

Do I need planning permission or building regulations approval?

Building regulation certification is generally required for a warm roof. Where it is needed, we arrange everything, from the inspector’s visits to the certificate. Most of our work is permitted development and needs no planning application. If yours is one of the few that does, we deal with it.

Will a solid roof make my conservatory usable all year?

Yes. Warm roof technology creates a fully insulated roof, so you can use the room all year round: warm in winter and cool in summer.

Will my conservatory be darker with a solid roof?

A solid roof lets in less light than glass, but you still get daylight through the windows and doors. The SupaLite ceiling has integrated lighting. If you want more daylight from above, a lantern roof combines glass with a solid roof.

Is a conservatory roof replacement guaranteed?

Yes. All our improvements come with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee from HIP.insure.
