I would like our single storey lean-to tiled roof replaced with a glass/conservatory roof. Who does this sort of work? General builder? Conservatory specialist? Roofer?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.47 PM

The house was built with a small extension across the back of it to allow more depth in the kitchen/diner. The roof therefore only extends approx 1.5 meters away from the back wall of the property and runs along 3/4 of the back of the house. As it's the kitchen/diner, it would look lovely to have a glass roof with the ceiling removed above the sink area to let in lots of light, it would also make the dining area feel very spacious and light. I understand there would be a loss of insulation and we'd need to consider high spec glass, I'm just not sure where to even start with a project like this! Any help/advice would be much appreciated Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Turning your extension into a conservatory does make much sense to me.Its going to cost a lot of money and in my opinion not worth it.Why not put a few strategically placed velux windows in and have a vaulted ceiling.This would let you have your "light and spacious" feel with less expense.

Have you thought about having some velux windows fitted into the existing roof. It will be a lot cheaper to do, less distruption, save on heat loss, and will throw a lot of light in.

Any good general builder or conservatory specialist should be able to replace the tiled roof with a clear one. the first thing to decide is what type of roof you would like and can afford, corrugated plastic being the cheapest, working up to double-glazing, which is expensive but would provide better insulation. Then get in touch with a good builder and they should be able to remove the old roof and install the new clear one. I hope this is helpful. T. March

If having a full glass roof I would recommend using a conservatory specialist, if having Velux roof windows then any decent builder/roofer would be your best bet.
