Solid Conservatory Roof Replacement

Why Glass and Polycarbonate Were Used for Conservatory Roofs

Until 2010, UK building regulations mandated a portion of the conservatory roof to be made of translucent material to be exempt from standard building rules.

Moreover, the “sunroom” trend in the 1980s and 90s, and the fact that glass and polycarbonate are much lighter than traditional tiles, explain why conservatories in Northamptonshire were originally made of highly conductive materials.

What Problems Glass and Polycarbonate Conservatory Roofs Cause

The problems that arise due to conservatory roofs having conductive materials like glass and polycarbonate:

  • In summer, the space gets very hot, and in winter, it gets cold.
  • During rain or a hailstorm, the polycarbonate roof becomes extremely loud.
  • Transparent roofs mean constant UV exposure and intense glare.
  • Dampness and mould growth due to heavy condensation.
  • Polycarbonate panels can yellow over time or develop algae, making them difficult to clean.

How a Tiled Conservatory Roof in Northamptonshire Solves These Issues ​

The tiled conservatory roof replacement solves these problems and makes the space a natural extension of your home that you can use year-round. Exactly how it solves the problems:

  • A tiled roof is a multi-layer system that resists heat transfer in both directions.
  • Lightweight tiles combined with air gaps and internal insulation help absorb sound effectively.
  • Tiled roofs are opaque, completely blocking UV rays and reducing glare.
  • Insulated tiled roof systems eliminate cold spots and allow airflow to help prevent mould growth.
  • Tile roofs are built for long-term durability (up to 50 years) and are relatively easy to maintain.

Why The Conventional Roofing Does Not Work for Northamptonshire Conservatories

Conventional glass and polycarbonate roofing make a conservatory in Northamptonshire a temporary sun trap and not a room you can use anytime.

Here’s precisely why:

  • Extreme Greenhouse Cycles
    • Temperature fluctuations are common in Northamptonshire.
    • Glass and polycarbonate are extremely conductive.
    • They lose and gain heat quickly, making the room uncomfortably warm in summer and cold in winter.
  • High Drumming Noise
    • Polycarbonate is a good conductor of sound.
    • It can make even light drizzles sound like a heavy downpour.
    • The noise can echo into the main house and disturb the entire household.
  • Vulnerability to Weather
    • Polycarbonate can become brittle within 2–5 years.
    • It becomes more vulnerable to hailstorms and punctures.
    • Expansion and contraction can loosen seals, leading to leaking joints.
  • Dampness and Visual Degradation
    • Poor thermal regulation causes heavy condensation, which can lead to mould growth.
    • Algae often grows within polycarbonate roof channels and is difficult to clean.
    • This can make the conservatory appear old, dirty, and visually degraded.

Our 5-Step Tiled Conservatory Roof Installation Process

At Midlands Insulated Conservatory, the entire roof replacement process centres around you.

Step 1: Free Assessment & Quote

The first assessment is when we get to know each other and learn about your roof’s current condition. We decide together what your roof needs and the materials we are going to use. With the quote, we will clearly define exactly what you are paying for.

Step 3: Remove the Old Roof

Before we touch your roof, we cover areas with dust covers. We also remove any furniture for free to a safe space. Once everything is set up, we carefully dismantle the old polycarbonate or glass roof.

Step 2: Set a Timeline

The contract is firm once you review the quote and agree to it. Then we set a start date and timeline within which we can easily complete the tiled roofing work.

Step 4: Build the Insulation

We treat fire-rated timber battens internally and externally and install 50mm Celotex insulation. We add a 19mm layer of SuperQuilt insulation blanket. Underneath that, we add a solid ceiling base and use a finish of your choice (UPVC‑clad ceiling or plaster & skim).

Step 5: Build the Tiled Roof

On the outside, we first lay a waterproof roof membrane. When everything’s ready, we lay the tiles that match your property perfectly and complete the roofing work. Then we clean the area with great attention to detail and ensure you are satisfied with the work.
