Turn a cold conservatory into a room you can use all year
If your conservatory is freezing in winter, unbearably hot in summer and noisy whenever it rains, the roof is almost always the cause. Old polycarbonate and single-glazed conservatory roofs do very little to hold heat in or keep heat out, which is why so many conservatories end up as a wasted space for much of the year. At Dexters Build we replace these tired roofs with modern, insulated tiled roofs that transform the room into a comfortable extension of your home. We are a family-run business with over 10 years' experience, and every conservatory roof replacement is fully guaranteed.
We work throughout Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, including Leighton Buzzard, Luton, Dunstable, Bedford, Milton Keynes and the surrounding towns and villages. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation.
The benefits of a tiled conservatory roof
Swapping a polycarbonate or glass roof for a solid, insulated tiled roof makes an immediate difference to how the room feels and how often you actually use it.
- Warmer in winter. A properly insulated tiled roof keeps heat inside, so the room stays comfortable and your heating works far harder for you.
- Cooler in summer. Instead of trapping heat like a greenhouse, a solid roof keeps the space cool and pleasant on hot days.
- Usable all year round. A conservatory that was too cold or too hot to enjoy becomes a proper living space, whether that is a dining room, snug, office or playroom.
- Less glare and noise. A solid roof cuts out the harsh glare you get through polycarbonate and dramatically reduces the drumming sound of heavy rain.
- Lower energy bills. Because heat stays where you want it, the room is cheaper to keep warm.
Lightweight tiled systems and building regulations
The key to a good conservatory roof replacement is using a modern lightweight tiled system that is designed to sit on the existing frame and base. These insulated systems are far lighter than a traditional pitched roof, but we never assume the existing structure can take the load. Before any work begins we carry out a structural check of the frame, walls and base to make sure everything is sound and capable of supporting the new roof. Where work falls under building regulations, we handle it correctly so you are left with a roof that is safe, compliant and built to last.
The finished roof can be tiled to complement the rest of your property, and the inside is usually finished with a smart plastered, insulated ceiling, often with downlights, so the room genuinely feels like part of the house rather than a bolt-on. The same care and craftsmanship goes into this work as into our new roofs for full properties.
Our conservatory roof replacement process
Survey and structural check
We start with a free site visit to look at your existing conservatory, check the frame and base, take measurements and talk through how you want to use the room. This is where we confirm the structure is suitable for a tiled roof.
Removing the old roof
We carefully strip out the old polycarbonate or glass roof and dispose of it responsibly, protecting your conservatory and home throughout.
Fitting the insulated tiled roof
We install the lightweight roof structure, full insulation and a weather-tight tiled covering, finishing the inside with an insulated, plastered ceiling ready for decoration. If your conservatory has a low-pitch or partly flat section, our flat roofing expertise means every part of the roof is properly sealed.
