Conservatory roof replacement in Chester and Cheshire

Conservatory roof replacement takes the old glass or polycarbonate off and puts an insulated roof on the frames you already have. Inside you get a plastered ceiling, outside a tiled or slate finish. It is usually 2 to 5 days on site, and every roof comes with a Building Control certificate.

Is it the roof or the whole conservatory that needs replacing?

Almost always just the roof, because the frames and the base underneath a conservatory are usually sound and it was the roof that was never built to make the room usable.

Usually just the roof

Polycarbonate and older glass roofs were never built to make the room habitable. The frames and the base underneath are normally sound, which is why a new roof fixes the room without rebuilding it.

Sometimes more

Frames that have moved, a base that was never right, or a roof shape that will not carry the weight. Jerry checks all three on the visit and tells you plainly if a solid roof is not right for yours. That is a free visit either way.

What do you get with a new conservatory roof?

A plastered ceiling inside, a tiled or slate finish outside, a Building Control certificate and a 10 year workmanship guarantee, on the frames you already have.

  • A plastered ceiling inside

    Not a boarded box. A plastered, sloping ceiling that takes emulsion and, if you want them, recessed spotlights.

  • A tiled or slate finish outside

    Lightweight tiles in the colour that suits the house, so from the garden it reads as part of the building rather than as a conservatory with a lid on.

  • A Building Control certificate

    Replacing a conservatory roof is building work, so it goes through Building Control. We make the application and hand you the certificate on completion. It is the document a buyer's solicitor asks for.

  • A 10 year workmanship guarantee

    Written down, not said.

Which conservatory roof is right for my frames?

There are four things we fit, from a full tiled roof down to insulated panels, and Jerry says which suits your frames after he has seen them.

Tiled Roof Systems

SupaLite and WarmerRoof insulated tiled roofs, fitted as a full replacement, never a clad over.

The old glass or polycarbonate comes off and a new insulated roof goes on the frames you already have. You get a plastered ceiling inside and tiles outside. This is the work that turns a conservatory back into a room you use in January.

WarmerRoof

The WarmerRoof has proven to be our most popular product.

A timber framed insulated roof, warm to the touch. Both are good products, but the one we would put on our own house is the WarmerRoof.

  • A U-value as low as 0.15 W/m2K. (WarmerRoof's own figures)
  • A 25 year manufacturing warranty. (WarmerRoof's own figures)
  • Tested and certified by LABC and Stroma Building Control. (WarmerRoof's own figures)
  • About the same weight as the glass roof it replaces, so sound existing frames can usually carry it. (WarmerRoof's own figures)

SupaLite

An aluminium framed lightweight tiled roof with a plastered ceiling finish.

  • A 10 year product guarantee. (SupaLite's own figures)
  • A typical install of 2 to 3 days for a standard 4m x 4m conservatory, before plastering. (SupaLite's own figures)
  • Over 50,000 installations have been carried out by SupaLite installers. (SupaLite)

Every roof is Building Control certified and we hand you the certificate at the end.

Insulated panel roof

Insulated Panel Roofs

Around half the cost of a tiled roof, and 1 to 2 days on site. Insulated panels replace your old polycarbonate or glass, keeping your existing frames.

Fitted in 1 to 2 days, for around half the cost of a tiled roof. It is much quieter in rain and far warmer than polycarbonate.

A panel roof is not a tiled roof, and we will always tell you straight which one your conservatory actually needs.

10 year workmanship guarantee

Glass Roofs

Solar control glass, for a room that wants to keep its light.

Modern solar control glass replaces the tired old glazing on your conservatory. You keep the light and you lose the greenhouse effect.

10 year workmanship guarantee

Warm Roof Extensions

A new room built warm from the start, with an insulated roof on it.

Where a conservatory is not what you want at all, we build the extension instead, with a warm insulated roof on it from the first day.

How does a conservatory roof replacement actually work?

You ring, Jerry visits and checks the frames and the base, you get a written price, and then the old roof comes off and the new one goes on.

  1. Call or message us.

    You get Jerry, not a call centre.

  2. Free home survey, Jerry comes himself.

    He looks at the frames, the base and the shape of the roof, and tells you what will work on them.

  3. Written fixed quote.

    The number we write is the number you pay.

  4. Installation and handover.

    Building Control certificate and guarantee in your hand.

What does a new conservatory roof cost?

Ring and ask: Jerry comes out, looks at the frames and the base, and puts a fixed written price in front of you, and that number does not move.

No fake discounts. No inflated was price. No offer that runs out on Friday. No sales pressure, because no salesman ever comes. Jerry comes out himself, looks at the frames and the base, and tells you plainly if a solid roof is not right for them.

Your quote comes in writing and stays valid for a set period, and that period is written on it. Ring and Jerry will tell you whether it is the sort of job we do before anybody arranges anything. The written price after the visit is the real number, and it does not move afterwards.

Both are good products, but the one we would put on our own house is the WarmerRoof.

Questions people ask before they ring.

Will my new roof meet building regulations?

Yes. We handle the whole process and hand you a Building Control certificate when the job is done.

How long does the work take?

Most tiled roof replacements take 2 to 5 days on site depending on the size and shape of the conservatory. Panel roofs are usually finished in 1 to 2 days.

Can my existing frames take a solid roof?

Usually yes, because modern systems weigh about the same as the glass they replace, but we check first, and if your frames cannot take it we will tell you straight rather than fit it anyway.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not for a roof replacement on an existing conservatory. Building regulations approval is a separate thing and we take care of it.

Will it really be warmer in winter and cooler in summer?

Yes. That is the whole point of an insulated roof, and it is also far quieter in heavy rain.

What guarantee do I get?

A 10 year workmanship guarantee on our installation, plus the manufacturer's own warranty on the roof system itself.

How much does a new conservatory roof cost?

It depends on the size and shape of your conservatory and on which system you choose. An insulated panel roof comes in at around half the cost of a tiled roof. We give you a written fixed price after a free survey, and the number we write is the number you pay.

Do you use subcontractors?

The fitters who come to your house are our own regular teams, not a crew hired for the week. Jerry is connected directly to every job, so if something needs sorting out you are talking to the person who priced it.

Can I see one of your finished roofs?

Yes. We do not run a showroom, because the cost of a showroom ends up in your quote. What we keep instead is a list of customers who are happy to show you their finished roof in a real house. Ring and ask, and we will see who is near you.

Will you still answer the phone in three years?

We are a Chester firm and Jerry has been doing this for 40 years, working for himself since 1985. The 10 year workmanship guarantee is written down, not said. The firm that fits your roof is the firm that answers the phone in year three.

Where do you fit conservatory roofs?

Across Chester, Cheshire and the Wirral, from Chantry Court in Chester. Eleven towns and areas have a page of their own, and we cover the villages around each of them too.

Ask for a written quote.

Tell us where you are and what the conservatory is doing. Jerry rings back himself.
