Conservatory Roof Replacement Brighton & Sussex
Turn your conservatory into a warmer, more usable room
Replace an old glazed or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a modern insulated roof system designed to improve comfort, reduce glare and give the room a more substantial appearance.
Upgrade the Room You Already Have
The roof can be the weakest part of an older conservatory
Many older conservatories still have perfectly usable windows, doors and bases but are let down by an ageing glazed or polycarbonate roof.
Excessive solar gain can make the room uncomfortable on hot days, while limited insulation can make it harder to retain warmth during colder weather.
Replacing the roof with a modern insulated system can transform how the room looks and feels without necessarily rebuilding the entire conservatory.

Is Your Conservatory Suitable?
We survey the existing structure before recommending a roof
A replacement roof places different loads and performance requirements on the existing conservatory, so the frames, base and supporting structure need to be assessed before the final specification is agreed.
Existing frames
We assess whether the current frames and supporting structure are appropriate for the proposed work.
Conservatory base
The existing construction and project requirements need to be considered before proceeding.
Roof shape and size
The replacement roof is designed around the dimensions and geometry of the existing conservatory.
The Replacement Process
From old roof to transformed conservatory
We assess the existing conservatory first, then design the roof around the actual structure.
Initial survey
We assess the existing conservatory and discuss the problems you want the new roof to solve.
Roof specification
The roof design, insulation, finishes and glazed areas are agreed around the existing conservatory.
Remove the old roof
The existing roof is carefully removed while the retained conservatory structure remains protected.
Install & finish
The replacement roof is installed, weathered and finished internally to create the transformed room.
Need More Than a New Roof?
We can also convert the whole conservatory
Sometimes the roof is not the only issue. If the existing frames, walls or overall conservatory design no longer work for your home, a full hup! conversion may be the better route.
This replaces the conservatory structure with insulated walls and roofing to create a room much closer to a conventional extension.

Conservatory Roof FAQs
Common questions about replacement conservatory roofs
Can I replace just the roof on my conservatory?
Often, yes. If the existing conservatory frames, base and supporting structure are suitable, it may be possible to replace the roof without rebuilding the entire conservatory. A survey is required first.
Will a replacement conservatory roof make the room warmer?
A modern insulated roof can significantly reduce heat transfer through the roof compared with many older glazed or polycarbonate systems, helping the room retain warmth more effectively.
Will the conservatory become too dark?
Not necessarily. The existing windows and doors continue to provide daylight, while systems such as Livinroof can incorporate glazed roof sections where additional overhead light is desirable.
Is a replacement conservatory roof quieter when it rains?
A more substantial insulated roof can provide a noticeably quieter internal environment than many older lightweight polycarbonate or glazed roof systems.
