Re-roofing my conservatory
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.30 PM
I am considering re roofing my conservatory so it can be used all year round, I don't have a massive budget. Can you advise on the best cheaper end materials I could go for?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi this is a common problem that people have, the answer is get a few quotes and see what deals you can get, i would stay away from the nationals and ring some local companies, the cheapest option would be a new roof with heat guard poly, then the next would be Solar reflective blue active glass (Much better sound reduction from rain)

It depands on your conservatory age and condition, you could line insulate and line it.
It really does work, cost minimal to a solid roof and works.

as these guys have said before, it all depends on the age and condition of your conservatory, as you don't have a big budget I would suggest changing the poly sheets for double glazed windows, this will keep the heat in much better

The market is growing fast, watch out for people who just cover over and not take your original one away, seen this a lot lately and causing lots of condensation after, super light and Guardian are out there seem to be the best always do research to prevent any unnecessary hiccups on the job

Tapco or a similar lightweight tile shaped tin sheets ( the same ones you'll find on park Homes or McDonalds)
insulated with celotex or kingspan forms an inner layer, locking heat inside your property whilst simultaneously allowing any lingering moisture to escape, preventing damp and mould problems in the future
This will keep it cool in the summer and hot in the winter essentially allowing your conservatory to be more of a small extension as well as been much quieter in heavy rain then glass or perspex alternatives
Depending on the age and condition of your conservatory you may not have to have any structural changes in which case lightweight polymer tiles are much cheaper option than traditional tiles

Why no use polycarbon boards they're not that expensive easy to fit

Polycarbonate is your best option if you are trying to get the job done on a budget.
