Solid Conservatory Roofs

Features & benefits of a solid conservatory roof

Solid conservatory roofs offer far more than just a modern look — they deliver real, lasting value for homeowners across the North East. Here’s what makes them such a worthwhile investment:

• Exceptional Thermal Performance – Up to 15 times more efficient than outdated polycarbonate roofs, helping you keep your conservatory warm in winter and cool in summer, while reducing energy bills.
• All-Year Comfort – With improved insulation, your conservatory becomes a true extension of your home — not a space that’s too hot or too cold to use.
• Quieter and More Private – The solid roof dramatically reduces noise from heavy rain, wind, or neighbouring properties, creating a calm, private space.
• Enhanced Aesthetics – From the outside, a tiled or panelled roof helps your conservatory blend with your home. From the inside, it feels like a true living space.
• Increased Property Value – A solid roof effectively transforms a basic conservatory into a usable room — a major plus for prospective buyers.
• Quick Installation – Most solid roof replacements are completed within a few days, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day life.

Other conservatory roof options

If you’re looking for maximum light, a modern glass roof might suit you better; otherwise our solid roof solutions deliver outstanding insulation and a true room-like feel.

Glass conservatory roofs

Glass conservatory roofs are a popular choice for those who want to maximise light while still enjoying improved energy efficiency. Unlike older, single-glazed designs, modern glass roofs use high-performance thermal glazing that reduces glare, limits solar gain, and keeps the space more comfortable throughout the year. Optional self-cleaning glass helps reduce maintenance, while various tint options allow you to tailor the finish to your needs.

Ideal for: homeowners who want to maximise brightness and enjoy an open, airy conservatory feel.

Solid, warm, tiled & SupaLite roofs – what’s the difference?

You may have come across terms like warm roofs, tiled conservatory roofs or SupaLite roofs– but in practice, they’re all variations of the same core product: the solid conservatory roof.

These systems are designed to replace old glass or polycarbonate roofs with a fully insulated, tiled alternative that transforms your conservatory into a comfortable living space you can use all year round.

While each system may have its own name or slight differences in structure, style, or brand, they all deliver the same fundamental benefits:

• High levels of thermal insulation
• Tiled or slate-effect exterior for a modern finish
• Plastered or panelled ceilings for a true ‘room-like’ interior
• Full compliance with UK building regulations

Whether you’re drawn to a SupaLite system for its brand reputation, a warm roof for its insulation-first design, or a tiled roof for its traditional appearance, rest assured – you’re looking at a solid roof solution.

Ideal for: homeowners looking for a solid, high-performance upgrade that turns their conservatory into a seamless extension of the home.

Building Regulations for Solid Conservatory Roofs

Replacing a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a solid one almost always requires building regulation approval. That’s because a solid roof changes how the space performs in terms of insulation, structure, and safety. But don’t worry — we’ll guide you through it all.

Why are building regs needed?

Building regulations ensure your new roof:

• Is structurally sound and won’t overload the conservatory frame or foundations
• Provides adequate thermal performance (measured in U-values)
• Maintains proper ventilation to prevent damp or condensation
• Uses appropriate materials near boundaries or habitable spaces

What does the process involve?

We handle the process on your behalf. This includes:

• A survey of your existing structure
• Structural calculations if needed
• Submission of documents to your local authority or an approved inspector
• Installation by experienced, compliant professionals

After completion, you’ll receive full certification. This ensures your roof is legal, safe, and won’t cause issues if you sell your property in future.
