Can you put a new roof on an old conservatory?

Yes, you can definitely replace your old conservatory roof. In fact, we recommend our customers replace their conservatory roofs once they become old or inefficient. Originally conservatories were manufactured with polycarbonate roofs as they were durable and allowed sunlight to flow in. However, we now know that polycarbonate isn’t as energy efficient as alternative options. Over time the long periods of sun exposure will cause polycarbonate to discolour, affecting the overall aesthetic of your home.

If you notice that your conservatory roof has become damaged in any way it’s crucial you look to have this repaired or replaced immediately. Even the smallest damages can turn into serious issues that can become costly and cause damage to other areas of your home.

What is the benefit of replacing your old conservatory roof?

One of the first signs you need to refurbish your old conservatory will be a noticeable increase in your energy bills. You may also find that your conservatory becomes too warm in the summer and is getting much colder in the winter. The point of having a glazed extension is to provide you and your family with a usable and comfortable space all year round. As your conservatory roof is typically the largest part of your extension it is usually this that is reducing its thermal performance. Replacing your conservatory will greatly improve the efficiency of your conservatory, ensuring you have a comfortable space no matter what time of year.

A glazed extension can add value to your property but only if it’s well maintained. Potential buyers are always looking for more space and are willing to pay more for it, under the right circumstances. Noticeable damages will put buyers off and they could try to haggle down the price. Refreshing your conservatory with a replacement roof will transform its appearance and naturally increase the overall value of your home. After having work completed by us, you’ll have appropriate documentation that can be passed to viewers. Even if you’re not planning to sell your home soon, you’ll still receive huge benefits.

By upgrading your conservatory roof you’ll breathe new life into your conservatory and refresh the appearance of your home as a whole. Our roof replacements surpass performance benchmarks without compromising on appearance. At Conservatory Makeovers we offer four replacement roof options that are certain to impress. We’re certain we’ll have an option that exceeds your expectations.
