A solid roof conversion replaces your existing glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a fully insulated, lightweight tiled roof — turning a room that is unusable for most of the year into a comfortable, year-round living space. Typical projects take 5 to 8 working days and cost between £3,500 and £8,500, with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee included.

The Most Popular Conservatory Upgrade in Lancashire
If your conservatory sits unused for most of the year because it's too cold in winter and unbearably hot in summer, a solid roof conversion is the answer. This is our most requested service, and for good reason. It completely transforms how you use your conservatory.
We remove your existing glass or polycarbonate roof panels and replace them with a lightweight, fully insulated tiled roof system. The new roof includes Velux skylights to maintain natural light, integrated guttering, and a beautiful plastered ceiling inside. The result looks and feels like a proper room extension.
Our solid roof systems are engineered to work with your existing conservatory structure. We carry out a full structural assessment to ensure everything is compatible, and where needed, we reinforce the existing framework. The lightweight tile systems we use (including Tapco slate and Guardian warm roof) are specifically designed for conservatory conversions.
The difference is immediate. Your conservatory becomes a comfortable, usable space 365 days a year. Energy bills drop because the insulation keeps heat in during winter and out during summer. Rain noise disappears completely. And the whole room feels more like a natural part of your home.
Polycarbonate vs Glass vs Solid Tiled Roof
A solid warm roof system outperforms polycarbonate and glass on every measure that affects how you use your conservatory. Here is a direct comparison across the criteria that matter.
| Criteria | Polycarbonate | Glass | Solid Tiled Roof |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal efficiency | Very poor — U-value ~3.0+ | Poor — U-value ~2.0+ (standard) | Excellent — U-value ~0.18 (warm roof) |
| Lifespan | 10–15 years (yellowing, cracking) | 20–25 years (seal failure common) | 40+ years (Tapco tiles, BBA certified) |
| Planning permission | Not required | Not required | Usually not required (permitted development) |
| Noise in rain | Very loud | Moderate to loud | Silent |
| Natural light | High (glare in summer) | High (overheating risk) | Controlled via Velux skylights |
| Summer temperature | Extremely hot (greenhouse effect) | Very hot | Comfortable — solar gain eliminated |
| Winter temperature | Very cold — heat loss rapid | Cold — heat loss high | Warm — fully insulated |
| Typical installed cost | £500 – £1,500 (replacement only) | £2,000 – £4,500 | £3,500 – £8,500 (full conversion) |
