Conservatory Refurbishments and Upgrade Service in the South East

Can you put a new roof on an old conservatory?

Replacing the roof is probably the simplest and most effective way to revive an older conservatory. Choose between tiled glazed or part glazed options, and quickly see the room transformed from tired and unwelcoming space to dazzling reception room.

Not only will a new roof ensure you get more use from the conservatory it also reduces the energy bills as it will stay warmer for longer in winter and remain cool through the summer months.

But refurbishment can go further. It’s also worth considering integral blinds to existing conservatory windows, doors, and roof lights, as they add an extra insulating layer.

Update your conservatory glass

Innovation in glazing creates new opportunities to improve conservatories and glazed rooms with better performing replacement units. Energy A+ rated double glazing and Comfort Glass products will transform your old conservatory:

Low-E glass
A thin coating applied to glazing that allows solar energy to enter and then reflects it back into the conservatory, which works to reduce heating demand and energy bills.

Solar control glass
Is another coating that lets the right amount of the sun’s energy in; keeping the space warm in winter and cool in summer.

Self-cleaning glass
An ultra-thin coating that reacts with daylight to break down dirt, keeping your conservatory gleaming for longer.

Decorative glass
Stained glass, frosted glass, leaded glass, etched glass, patterned glass, bevelled glass: there are so many options available that can make your conservatory unique as well as efficient.

Make your conservatory open plan

Breaking through the barriers is an effective way to improve the layout and increase the use of a conservatory. If your plans involve removing doors, windows, or walls that currently separate your conservatory from the rest of the house, you will need building regulation approval to go ahead.

As As FENSA approved installers, we will ensure building regulation compliance is continually maintained. We will do this by proving that your refurbished conservatory space is as thermally efficient as the rest of the property.

There are several simple further changes you could make to upgrade a conservatory:

• Bi-folding doors
• Sliding patio doors
• Floor to ceiling windows and doors
• Glazed walls and doors
• Split level layouts

Can I change my conservatory windows, doors, and frames?

Available in practical uPVC or stylish aluminium frames with made-to-measure doors in a variety of styles you can quickly see the benefits of upgrading a dated conservatory:

• Increased energy efficiency throughout the house

Convert your conservatory into an orangery or bespoke extension

An aging conservatory space can be transformed into a more practical and appealing room simply by thinking about it differently.

An orangery—you don’t actually need to have an orange grove inside—combines the best features of a conservatory and an extension, typically eliminating the need for applying for planning permission if it’s built within permitted development rules.

Converting a conservatory to an extension is much less expensive than building a brick extension of the same size. Even if planning permission is required, we can help, providing the information required to ensure your refurbishment remains stress-free.
