Tiled Conservatory Roof Supplied & Installed

In many cases, yes. A glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof can often be removed and replaced with a lightweight tiled roof while retaining the existing conservatory frames. The existing structure needs to be surveyed first to make sure it's in suitable condition and capable of supporting the replacement roof.

In most cases, an existing conservatory can support a lightweight tiled Ultraroof. The system is designed to be only around 15% heavier than a glass roof, so the existing conservatory base should normally be suitable without additional strengthening.

The existing window and door frames still need to be in good condition and capable of supporting the new roof. We'll check these as part of our survey before confirming that a tiled roof can be fitted.

Yes. Insulation is built into the roof construction rather than relying on the tiles themselves. Depending on the specification, our tiled conservatory roofs can achieve U-values as low as 0.15 W/m²K.

It will reduce the amount of overhead light compared with a fully glazed roof, but it doesn't necessarily need to remove it completely. Velux windows or glazed sections can be incorporated into suitable tiled roof designs. Your windows and doors will continue to provide natural light from the sides of the conservatory.

Yes, glazing can be incorporated into suitable roof designs. This is useful where you want the insulation and appearance of a tiled roof but still want daylight entering through selected parts of the ceiling.

Building Regulations may apply when replacing a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a tiled roof, particularly as the change can affect the structure and thermal performance of the conservatory. We'll assess your existing conservatory and advise what approvals are needed for the work.

Planning permission isn't normally required for a straightforward replacement conservatory roof, provided the original conservatory remains within the relevant permitted development rules. There are circumstances where permission may be needed, however, such as some listed buildings, properties in designated areas or where the proposed work changes the original structure.

You don't need to work this out on your own. SEHBAC has a dedicated planning team who can advise on the requirements, prepare drawings where needed, submit applications and manage the process through to approval, helping to keep everything in one place.

The installation time depends on the size and design of the conservatory and whether any additional work is required yet roof only replacements can take as little as 5 days to update. We'll provide a more accurate timescale once the existing conservatory has been surveyed and the new roof designed and you will be allocated your dedicated SEH BAC project manager to look after your installation every step of the way.

Neither is automatically better. A tiled roof provides much more insulated roof area and creates a more extension-like interior, while a glass roof provides considerably more overhead natural light. Which works better depends on the conservatory, its orientation and how you want to use the room.

A tiled roof has a lightweight tiled external finish and creates an appearance closer to a traditional house roof. Livinroof uses insulated solid panels and makes it particularly easy to position areas of glazing around the roof. Both offer much better insulation than many older conservatory roofs, but the finished appearance and amount of overhead light are different.

The price depends on the size and shape of the conservatory, the roof design and whether any additional work is needed to the existing structure. For a replacement roof, we'll first assess the existing conservatory and then provide a quotation based on the roof required rather than using a generic price that may not reflect the work involved.
