Replacing a conservatory roof is a big decision; finding the perfect match for your conservatory will take some research.
Your new roof needs to look good and complement the style of your existing conservatory. It should also have excellent thermal and sound insulation to ensure that your conservatory provides a functional living space where you can relax all year round.
Of course, your conservatory roof replacement must come in on budget and be installed with minimum disruption.
Let’s look at all the variables that affect conservatory roof prices.
The conservatory roof replacement costs will depend on the roof material you choose, with the standard choice being a glass or polycarbonate roof.
At PCL, we offer something different with a solid tiled conservatory roof replacement.
Each type of material has different advantages, disadvantages and cost implications.
Glass is the most traditional material and can often be found in an old conservatory.
Glass roofs let in plenty of natural light and can look beautiful. However, glass roof materials do not offer good sound insulation, and unless they have triple glazing, they can be chilly in cold weather.
A new glass conservatory roof may have high-performance features like solar control to stop the uncomfortable glare and even self-cleaning glass. Of course, these innovative features are not cheap, and a glass conservatory roof will probably be the most expensive option.
Polycarbonate conservatory roofs are light and quick to install. This type of roof replacement is often considered a cost-effective option, but polycarbonate roofing can come with quality issues.
Polycarbonate conservatory roofs are translucent rather than crystal clear like glass conservatory roofs. The roof material tends to discolour over time with a yellow tinge developing, affecting the aesthetic appeal of your conservatory and home.
In addition, this type of conservatory roof will be affected by UV rays, which degrade the polycarbonate, leading to leaks and poor thermal efficiency.
The cheapest material may not always be the most cost-effective in the long term.
Our lightweight conservatory roofs are tiled and made of high-quality materials. They offer excellent insulation to keep you warm, no matter the temperature, and keep your energy bills low.
The solid roof material that we use is durable and rugged, making it weather-resistant and keeping maintenance costs minimal. You can see how tough our tiled conservatory roofs are when a tree falls in high winds here.
Our replacement conservatory roofs are fully compliant with building regulations and they are also quick to install.
We don’t pretend that a new conservatory roof from PCL is the cheapest conservatory roof replacement, but we guarantee that you will be delighted with the quality and performance of your new tiled roof.
A larger conservatory will need more roof materials, but its installation will also have an impact on labour costs.
If there is a lot of roof material, it will take longer to remove your existing conservatory roof and install a replacement.
If you choose to install roof lights or glazed panels on your roof, the size and number of them will increase the cost.
If you are still reluctant to renovate your conservatory and are put off by the disruption and cost, we have a few great reasons why you should.
Your old glass or polycarbonate roof will likely be less energy efficient than a replacement conservatory roof.
Old conservatory roofs often leak and lose heat. The fridge-like chill of your existing structure may be sucking warmth from the rest of your house, too, driving up your energy bills.
A well-insulated conservatory roof replacement will undoubtedly be more energy efficient, particularly if you choose a solid roof from PCL. Our warm roof system will keep conservatories cosy all year round.
Tiled roofs are the most thermally efficient, and once your PCL warm roof has been fitted, the rest of your home will feel warmer, too.
Cracked panes or a yellowing polycarbonate conservatory roof do nothing for your home’s kerb appeal. If you are considering moving and want to maximise the value of your property, then sorting out your old conservatory roof is a priority.
A roof that is both beautiful and energy efficient won’t break the bank when you choose a roof replacement from PCL.
