Conservatory Roofs
Tiled Conservatory Roofs in Lincolnshire, Cambs & Norfolk
Too hot in summer, too cold in winter and noisy every time it rains — a lot of conservatories end up as storage rooms. Replacing the roof with a solid, tiled one turns it back into a room you'll actually use.

The problem
The trouble with old conservatory roofs
Most conservatories built in the 1990s and 2000s have polycarbonate or glass roofs. Over time the sheets discolour, the seals and glazing bars let water in, and the room swings from greenhouse to fridge with the seasons. Rain on polycarbonate is loud enough to drown out the television.
Patching seals and swapping individual panels rarely solves it for long. The structure is often sound — it's the roof covering that lets it down.
Signs to look out for
- 01The room is unbearably hot in summer and freezing in winter
- 02Drips along the glazing bars or where it meets the house
- 03Cloudy, discoloured or cracked roof panels
- 04Loud drumming whenever it rains
- 05Condensation and mould along the frame
- 06A room that's become storage rather than living space
How we fix it
A proper roof over your conservatory
We remove the old polycarbonate or glass roof and build a lightweight, insulated tiled roof in its place. The frame is checked first, and the new roof is designed to sit within what the structure can carry.
Over the new roof structure goes breathable membrane, battens and lightweight tiles chosen to sit well with your main roof. Where the conservatory meets the house, we finish with proper lead flashing so the joint stays watertight.
The result is quieter, holds its temperature far better and looks like part of the house rather than an add-on. We keep the work tidy, send photo updates as we go and clear up after ourselves.
What we use
- Insulated roof structure
- A new roof build designed for the conservatory frame, insulated to keep the heat in during winter and out in summer.
- Lightweight tiles
- Tiles chosen to suit the main house roof, keeping the load on the frame sensible.
- Breathable membrane & battens
- The same build-up we use on full house roofs, laid properly beneath the tiles.
- Lead flashing
- Sealing the junction with the house wall, the part most likely to leak if done poorly.
Good to know
Is a tiled roof right for you?
A tiled conservatory roof suits most people who want to use the room all year round — as a dining room, a playroom, a home office or just somewhere to sit that doesn't overheat by mid-morning. If you love the open-sky feel of a glass roof, a tiled roof may not be for you, and we'll say so.
We'll look at the frame, the base and how the conservatory joins the house, and talk through how the finished roof will look from inside and out. Many customers are surprised how much the room changes once the noise of rain on the roof has gone and the temperature stops swinging so wildly.
If your current roof is leaking and you're not ready to replace it, we can also look at repairing the flashing where it meets the house, which is where many conservatory leaks start.
We keep the house usable throughout. The old roof comes off and the new one goes on in a planned sequence, with the room sheeted if the weather turns, and you get photo updates so you can see progress even if you're at work.

In our customers' words
“In our hour of need they squeezed us in, came back on a Saturday, worked all day, to make our conservatory roof water tight, cleaned up after themselves, polite.”
“They arrived soon after my phone call… they had organised the scaffolding in advance and the skip. They kept us informed during the whole process with photos, which was great as I am terrified of heights.”
“…very friendly and helpful, turned up when they said they would.”

FAQs
Conservatory roofs: your questions
Can any conservatory have a tiled roof?
Many can, but it depends on the frame and base. We check the structure first and tell you honestly whether a tiled roof is suitable.
Will a tiled roof make the room dark?
It will be less bright than a glass roof, but most customers find the room far more comfortable to use. The walls stay glazed, so it remains a light room.
How long does a conservatory roof take?
It depends on the size, but it's typically a matter of days rather than weeks. We'll give you a timescale with your quote.
Can you just fix my leaking conservatory roof?
Sometimes. If it's a single failed seal or flashing, a repair may be enough. If the panels and seals are failing all over, replacement is usually the better long-term answer.
Do I need planning permission?
Replacing a conservatory roof is often covered by permitted development, but rules can change depending on your property. We'll point you in the right direction if it may apply.
