If you’ve been looking for a way to update your conservatory, you may have considered replacing the roof. Most conservatories have been built with glass roofs, but these days tiled roofs are a popular alternative, offering heightened insulation and thermal performance. Tiled roofs can also be lower maintenance, as they don’t require as much work to keep them functioning optimally and looking stylish.

Understanding tiled roof costs can be complicated – but we’re here to help explain prices, benefits and the long-term savings you can achieve with this type of conservatory roof replacement.

The problem with conservatories

Older, outdated conservatories were often built almost entirely with glass or polycarbonate; this is largely because, before 2010, at least 75% of a conservatory roof in the UK had to be made with a glazed material.

Such a large amount of glass often led to poor thermal performance, and homeowners across the UK have been left with unusable conservatories that simply aren’t comfortable to be in for most of the year. But there are other solutions, and other ways to improve the thermal efficiency of your conservatory and create a comfortable space without compromising on aesthetics and style.

The benefits of adding a replacement conservatory roof

A roof replacement can be fitted to an existing conservatory, massively improving its style and functionality. Because Building Regulations have changed since 2010, there is now a much wider range of options for your conservatory roof. The three most popular materials for conservatory roof replacements include polycarbonate, glass and tiles.

While polycarbonate is a cheaper way to replace your roof, it isn’t anywhere near as thermally efficient as other materials, meaning you will end up spending more on your energy bills in the long run, and may not be able to get much use out of your space in the winter and summer.  Polycarbonate roofs also offer poor sound insulation  – they are the cheapest material for a reason!

Some prefer to replace their conservatory roof like for like, and choose modern glass. Others, however, prefer the look and efficiency of a tiled roof. The benefit of the latter is that conservatory roof tiles can be made with specifically designed thermally efficient materials, and can come in a range of colours and finishes to match your home’s aesthetic.

 

Tiled conservatory roof costs

The cost of adding a tiled conservatory roof to an existing structure will vary from case to case, making it difficult to estimate. Costs will depend on the size of the conservatory and the exact material used.

It’s also important to look at the bigger picture when considering costs. By choosing a thermally-efficient roofing material such as tiles, you can reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling your conservatory, meaning you can save money on your energy bills for years to come. A thermally efficient tiled conservatory roof could even add value to your home!
