How long does the replacement take to complete?
Most Coventry conservatory roof replacements finish within 3-5 working days, depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your home. The first day involves removing the existing roof, followed by installing the new framework and insulation layers, then completing the external tiles or glass plus internal finishing with plaster or panelling. Adverse weather may occasionally affect outdoor work, but we keep you fully informed throughout the entire installation process.
Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement?
Typically, planning permission isn’t required for conservatory roof replacement in Coventry as it falls under permitted development rights. However, building regulations approval is essential, which we manage entirely on your behalf. Our service covers all building control applications, inspections, and certification at no additional cost. Some exceptions apply – particularly listed buildings or properties in conservation areas – but we’ll advise fully during your free consultation.
Will my existing conservatory structure support a new roof?
Modern replacement roof systems are specifically engineered to work with existing conservatory structures. During our free survey visit, we’ll thoroughly assess your conservatory’s framework to confirm it can support the upgraded roof system. The vast majority of uPVC, aluminium, and timber conservatories built within the last 20 years are perfectly suitable. Occasionally, structural reinforcement may be needed, which we’ll identify during assessment and include in your detailed quotation. Our replacement roofs are remarkably lightweight yet exceptionally strong, minimising structural demands.
What's the difference between tiled and glazed roof systems?
Tiled solid roofs offer maximum thermal and acoustic insulation, effectively transforming your conservatory into a genuine room extension like any other in your home. They’re ideal for homeowners wanting consistent year-round comfort with minimal noise intrusion. Glazed roofs maintain the bright, airy character traditional conservatories are known for whilst providing vastly improved thermal performance compared to old polycarbonate or basic glazing. They suit those who value abundant natural light but want better temperature control. Both are excellent choices – your ideal option depends on how you plan to use the space and your personal preferences. We’ll help you decide during your consultation.
How energy efficient are modern replacement roofs?
Contemporary replacement conservatory roofs offer outstanding energy efficiency. Our premium tiled solid roof systems routinely achieve U-values of 0.15 W/m²K, far exceeding current building regulations whilst providing exceptional thermal performance. This means conservatories stay warm in winter without excessive heating, and cool in summer without overheating. Many Coventry customers report noticeable energy bill reductions after installation. High-specification glazed roofs also deliver excellent thermal efficiency with U-values around 1.0 W/m²K, featuring advanced solar control coatings to prevent unwanted heat gain.
What warranty coverage comes with installations?
Every conservatory roof replacement includes a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed warranty covering both materials and installation workmanship. This provides complete peace of mind whilst protecting your investment. Insurance backing guarantees continued coverage even in the unlikely event of business closure. Additionally, many roof system manufacturers provide their own material warranties extending up to 25 years. Full warranty documentation is provided immediately upon completion of your installation.
Can I add skylights to a solid roof?
Absolutely, adding skylights or roof windows to solid conservatory roofs is an excellent way to maintain natural light whilst enjoying superior insulation benefits. We can install Velux-style windows, fixed skylights, or even decorative roof lanterns depending on your preferences and budget. Strategic placement maximises light in desired areas, with electrically-operated versions available for ventilation. During your consultation we’ll explore all options, helping you achieve the ideal balance between insulation performance and natural light for your Coventry property.
How much disruption should I expect during work?
Minimising disruption is a top priority throughout our installation process. While some dust and noise is inevitable during existing roof removal, we use protective sheeting, seal connecting doors where possible, and perform thorough daily cleaning. Most work occurs externally, with your conservatory only completely unusable during a brief 1-2 day period. Full access to the rest of your home continues uninterrupted. Our installers are professional and respectful, with extensive experience working in occupied Coventry homes.
