Does your conservatory get boiling hot in summer? It won’t after a roof replacement has been installed in place of your current roofing system, as you’re about to discover.
We’ll help you identify when it’s time to look at buying a new roof, advise what roof replacements there are, and alert you to any planning permission requirements.
Clues That Indicate a Conservatory Roof Replacement is Required
- Leaking. Roofs often suffer leaks once they start to deteriorate.
- Sagging. You can attribute any sagging to structural weakness, poor installation or debris buildup.
- Discolouration. Weathering, moss and algae growth tend to incite discolouring.
- Water ingress. It only needs the slightest crack in panels or seals for water ingress to occur.
- Mould. Don’t let mould settle because of the structural and health risk it poses.
- Damp and condensation. Both are a byproduct of inadequate roof insulation or ventilation.
- Moisture. A shortage of insulation can also prompt moisture.
The Main Types of Conservatory Roof Replacement
- Modern glass roofs. Intelligent glazing is used in modern glass roof replacements and central to how they accomplish outstanding thermal feats.
- Tiled and solid roofs. Insulation offered by tiled and solid roofs is superb and they are remarkably lightweight systems, quickening the installation.
- Hybrid roofs. A hybrid roof design consists of solid, insulated panels and glazed facets. Combining the two yields an equal balance of light and insulation.
- Polycarbonate roofs. The cheapness of polycarbonate roofs is tempting, but be aware that although durable, their thermal performance lags behind modern tiled & glass roofs.
- Roof lanterns. A roof lantern is a typical centrepiece of extensions and contemporary conservatories. Solar-control glazing features in them to fill living spaces with warmth.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Conservatory roof replacements often enjoy permitted development rights, which clears the way for them to be installed without planning permission.
But these rights are removed if a major adjustment to an original structure is necessary to conduct a conservatory roof upgrade or a house is either listed or located in a conservation area.
Building Regulations are not to be ignored. In the event of adding a solid roof to an existing conservatory, a Building Regulation Application is essential.
