Customers should be aware that not all conservatories are suitable to have the roof replaced with a solid roof.
The additional weight will place an additional strain on the window and door frames and, unless these have sufficient reinforcing, problems may arise in the future particularly if the roof sustains a significant fall of snow which will add more weight to the roof.
There has been a huge increase in the number of contractors offering this service to all regardless of whether the conservatory is suitable so please beware.
We carry out a full technical survey of your existing conservatory before quoting to replace the roof. The same applies to even replacing a polycarbonate roof with a glass roof, there is also a significant increase in weight on the frames which may not have been designed for this purpose.
Where the conservatory is over 20 years old we normally recommend a complete replacement.
At this age the draft seals and indeed the double glazed units may start to fail so it is better to consider starting again and build a new conservatory and avail of the fantastic choice of colours and types of insulating glass available on the market.
In these cases it is also advised that the existing conservatory base be removed so that proper insulation can be added to create a warm conservatory floor.
We also offer a re-glazing service for conservatories where we can keep your existing frames but re-glaze your conservatory with energy efficient glazing to the side frames and Pilkington ‘Blue Activ’ self cleaning glass to the roof.
This will allow you the enjoy the comfortable temperatures our modern conservatories offer.
We can only offer the roof re-glaze option to customers who bought their original roof from us as we had all these roofs tested before the initial installation, if your roof was supplied by another installer then we would have to replace the roof rafters to ensure the structural integrity of the conservatory roof.
Brightspace are happy to provide a free home survey at any time to inspect your conservatory and offer advice and the best refurbishment options.
