Conservatory or Single-Storey Extension?
How a conservatory and a single-storey extension differ on regulations, comfort and use, and how to decide which suits your home.
Polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof stripped out and replaced with a fully insulated warm roof panel system.
A polycarbonate conservatory roof makes the room unusable in summer and cold in winter. Replacing it with a warm roof system changes that completely, proper insulation above and a finished ceiling below. I strip the existing roof back to the frame, check everything is sound, and install the new panels from there.
The external finish is usually a lightweight tile that matches the main house roof. Inside, the soffit is boarded or plastered depending on what you want. Guttering and downpipes are reconnected and tested before I leave.
