A conservatory roof replacement could help you get more from an underused room. Compare an insulated tiled roof, a LivinRoof hybrid design or modern glass, with advice on daylight, ventilation and the condition of your existing frames.
We assess the structure before recommending a roof. If the frames or base also need work, we will explain the options for a wider refurbishment.

Your questions, answered
Planning your Colchester project.
Every home is different. Here are a few helpful starting points before we talk through yours.
Should I replace the roof or the whole conservatory?
If the base and frames are suitable, a new roof may be the right route. Where the existing structure needs improvement, we can discuss replacement frames or a complete conversion. A survey establishes what is practical.
What is the difference between an orangery and an extension?
An orangery typically combines substantial walls or columns with generous glazing and a roof lantern. An extension offers more flexibility over the balance of walls, windows and roof styles. We can design either around the way you want to use the room.
Can I see designs before choosing?
Yes. Use the Spectrum visualisers linked above to explore ideas, then discuss your choices with our team. A concept is the starting point for your surveyed design and quotation.
How much will my project cost?
Size, foundations, access, roof choice, glazing and internal finishes all affect the price. Send your postcode, approximate dimensions and ideas so we can advise on the next step towards an individual quote.
