About Conservatory Roof Replacement
Our Conservatory Roof Replacement Process in Plymouth
Our seasoned professionals can install your new Guardian Warm Roof onto your existing conservatory in as little as three days, with minimal disruption.
The process begins with the full removal of the existing glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof, including glazing bars and roof sheets. We’ll retain the original frames if they are structurally sound. The structure is then inspected and reinforced where necessary.
Next, we’ll install the insulated timber framework, before fitting high-performance insulation within and over the rafters. Breathable membranes are then added to protect against moisture ingress while allowing ventilation.
Lightweight roof tiles are fixed externally to create a durable, weatherproof finish. Internally, plasterboard is installed & finished with plaster, ready for decoration. At this point, we can also integrate optional roof windows or spotlights.

Conservatory Roof Replacement FAQs. Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Replacing Your Conservatory Roof FAQs
Can you put a new roof on an existing conservatory?
Yes, in most cases you can replace an old glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a new glass, insulated, or solid/tiled roof. Usually, you won’t need planning permission, so long as you’re not changing the size or height significantly.
However, you may need permission if your home is listed or in a conservation area. In addition, a professional survey is recommended to check that the current frames and foundations can support the new roof’s weight.
Is it worth replacing my conservatory roof?
Yes, conservatory roof replacement in Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall is definitely worth it – especially if your existing glass or polycarbonate roof has seen better days.
Replacing it with a Guardian Warm Roof can be extremely beneficial, as you’ll be able to use your conservatory the year round, rather than only when the weather permits it. As an added bonus, you’ll also save money on your energy bills.
How much does it cost to replace a conservatory roof?
Your conservatory roof replacement cost in Plymouth, Devon, or Cornwall will vary depending on several factors. Here’s a quick breakdown:
To begin with, the Guardian Warm Roof is more expensive than most glass or polycarbonate activities because it’s a complete, insulated, structural upgrade – not merely swapping panels.
In addition, the price will be affected by the following:
- Size and shape of your conservatory (Edwardian, Victorian, etc.).
- Whether or not structural upgrades are required to support the new roof.
- Any optional extras (Guardian solstice skylights, VELUX roof windows).
To find out more about the factors affecting the pricing, check out our pricing factors page. You can also get example pricing, or call us on 01752 786015 to arrange a consultation.
Can I get a grant to replace a conservatory roof?
There is no specific national government grant that covers the cost of replacing a conservatory roof outright in the way a building-repair grant might for your main house roof. Most of the large, well-known energy-grant schemes either don’t include conservatory roof replacement or have limited eligibility conditions that mean conservatories often don’t qualify as a primary element of the home for funding purposes.
Guardian Warm Roof FAQs
Will my conservatory be able to take the weight of the Guardian Warm Roof?
The Guardian Warm Roof System has been specifically designed to weigh no more than a glazed roof. Its structural performance is fully tested and approved by industry experts. Unlike some conversion systems, which only overclad the existing roof that was never designed to carry additional weight in the first place, the Guardian roof has been engineered to replace the entire existing roof.
Contemporary conservatories have reinforcing posts to take the weight of glazed roofs. However, those built before 1996 may not have sufficient support. The Guardian survey will determine the suitability and, where required, will provide a structural solution to support the Guardian Warm Roof for your conservatory.
How can Guardian guarantee the thermal performance of the warm roof system?
The Guardian Warm Roof System has been subjected to independent thermal analysis that takes into account the entire roof assembly, including cold bridging, to give a true U-value, as required by Building Regulations. Cold bridging has a major impact on U-value and, if not taken into account, will reduce thermal performance.
Many roof conversions state similar U-values or better. However, unless the entire assembly has been thermally tested, these are only theoretical. If in doubt, ask!
I’ve read reports of condensation and mould with these types of roof – how is Guardian different?
The Guardian Warm Roof is a ventilated roof system. Slots in the ring and ridge beams let air flow freely through the roof, allowing any moisture to exit. With many unproven roof conversions, moisture can form inside the roof, which causes staining and mould growth to the internal plasterboard. In turn, this leads to deterioration or even failure of the roof components.
Will I need to apply for Building Regulations approval for the new roof?
Yes. Building Regulations consent is a legal requirement when converting a conservatory roof to a solid insulated roof system. As Guardian Certified Installers, we are able to access and partner with the LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Authority Scheme to manage this approval for you, so you’ll have nothing to worry about.
Thanks to the high-performance insulation and with building approval, the Guardian Warm Roof System may allow for the wall between your house and conservatory to be removed, providing the flexibility to extend and enlarge an existing kitchen, living room, or bedroom. Please let us know if that’s something you would like to consider.
