Conservatory Roofs

Yes. The advanced insulation in a solid roof helps maintain a stable, comfortable temperature throughout the seasons, eliminating the extreme heat in summer and the cold in winter often experienced with traditional roofs.

This means your conservatory can serve as a suitable extension of your home, so you can use it for relaxing, working, or entertaining, whatever the time of year.

Yes. Our conservatory roofs can be personalised with integrated lighting, internal pelmet systems, decorative crestings, aluminium gutter shrouds and optional SkyVista glass panels, allowing you to create a roof that perfectly complements your home.

Whether you want to add a subtle finishing touch or make a bolder design statement, these options give you the freedom to shape your conservatory roof to suit your taste and your property’s style.

Most conservatory roof replacements are completed within 3–4 days, depending on the project’s size and complexity. Our experienced installers work efficiently to minimise disruption and deliver a high-quality finish for homeowners.

We also carry out a full site visit beforehand, so you know exactly what to expect on the day and can plan around the work with confidence.

Generally not, if you’re only replacing the roof on an existing conservatory. If your conservatory needed permission when it was built, you may need permission to change the roof too.

It’s always worth checking with your local planning authority before work begins, especially if your property is listed or sits within a conservation area, as different rules could apply. Building regulations may also come into play depending on the type of roof you’re switching to, so it’s a good idea to confirm this with your installer or local council in advance to avoid any delays.

Cladding over an existing frame is often used as a quicker, cheaper alternative to a full replacement, but the risks tend to outweigh any short term savings. Without proper ventilation and insulation built into the new roof structure, trapped moisture can lead to damp, mould, and long term damage to the frame beneath.

By contrast, roof replacements from Art On Glass are designed from the ground up to meet current standards and support the load safely, giving you a solution built to last rather than one that simply masks the problem.

The right roof for your conservatory depends on how you want the space to feel and what you’ll use it for. A glass roof lets in the most natural light while still offering strong thermal performance. A tiled roof gives a solid finish with excellent insulation, ideal for a snug living room or office. A polycarbonate roof offers a cost effective option with decent light and insulation, though it won’t quite match the clarity of glass or the solidity of tiles.

Art On Glass can talk you through each option in more detail, taking into account your budget, how you plan to use the space, and the style of your home, so you end up with a roof that suits your conservatory all year round.
