An Expert Guide To Conservatory Roof Replacements

Are you experiencing climate control issues in your conservatory? Lots of people are in the same boat in the summer months. The solution to this is a roof replacement from TradeMark.

Find out how to spot roof problems early on, what roof replacements exist, and whether you’ll have to apply for planning permission to upgrade roofing systems.

Signs That Your Roof is Past its Best

  • Leaking. Roof deterioration often prompts damaging leaks.
  • Sagging. Any noticeable sagging is a result of structural weakness, bad installation or debris buildup.
  • Discolouration. Weathering, moss and algae growth often cause discolouration.
  • Water ingress. An emergence of cracks in panels or seals raises the possibility of water ingress.
  • Mould. Developing mould is both a structural and health risk.
  • Damp and condensation. This is brought on by insufficient roof insulation or ventilation.
  • Moisture. Also signals that insulation is inadequate.

Types of Conservatory Roof Replacement

  • Modern glass roofs. A modern glass roof manages to achieve incredible thermal standards and temperature stability in part thanks to advanced glazing.
  • Tiled and solid roofs. The insulation offered by tiled and solid roofs is impressive and being so lightweight simplifies the installation process.
  • Hybrid roofs. It’s possible to get a mix of solid, insulated panels and glass with a hybrid roof. Together, they give you a sublime balance of light and insulation.
  • Polycarbonate roofs. While they are the most affordable option and very durable, polycarbonate roofs provide a much lower level of thermal performance than new tiled and glass roofs.
  • Roof lanterns. These daylighting architectural features are commonly found in extensions and modern conservatories and armed with solar-control glazing.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations

Permitted developments are exempt from planning permission and most conservatory roof replacements meet the criteria to be categorised as such.

That may not be the case if a roofing upgrade will require a major alteration of an original structure or the house it’s destined for is either listed or in a conservation area.

Building Regulations are something different entirely and must be obeyed. Normally, installation of a solid roof to an existing structure will demand a Building Regulation Application.
