Replacement roof from glass to solid

Anonymous user 16/06/2026 - 3.47 PM

Hi, I’m in Thatcham Berkshire and have put out a job to replace a conservatory glass roof with solid on my builder. unfortunately though my builder says the companies that responded are within 3 miles ,after I reached out to them I found out they were miles away from Worcester or up north. My dilemma is the distance to return if any problems occur afterwards,. Am I being too cautious???

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Good afternoon, to answer the question of yes or no depends on the company themselves, what I mean by that is if a company is advertising a big geographical area on their OWN WEBSITE then I don't think the distance would be an issue if you required a repair down the line, however, if they are only highlighting a local area on their website but then offer to undertake your work from a greater distance outside of their specified area ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE, then yes, it's probably a good idea to be cautious, I hope this helps, If you want some free info on the best types of solid roofs on the market please feel free to ask, I have over 30 years experience in conservatories especially solid roof conversions within the industry, I have spent over 20 years surveying these products and you'd have to go some way to match my knowledge, NO CATCH, you don't even have to invite me to quote on your project, I would be more than happy to help, It may even turn out that I have surveyed for one of the companies that have offered to undertake your work as I have freelanced my expertise out to both big and small companies across the UK, Again, genuinely no catch, I'm a strong believer in paying it forward so if I can help someone I know that will come back to me down the line. Hope this helps.
