A warm roof is a modern, insulated roofing system designed to replace your existing conservatory roof (often polycarbonate or worn glass). The goal is simple:
- Improve thermal performance

- Create a more comfortable room year-round

Signs your conservatory roof needs upgrading
A warm roof is worth considering if:
- The conservatory is rarely used because it’s too hot or too cold
- You get condensation and damp-feeling air
- The room is loud during heavy rain
- The roof looks tired, stained, or is starting to leak
- Your heating bills spike when you try to heat the space
Why homeowners choose a warm roof upgrade
More comfortable, more often
Insulation helps the room hold heat in winter and resist overheating in summer, so it feels far more consistent.
Quieter in bad weather
A properly installed warm roof can dramatically reduce the “drum” effect from rain and wind.
A smarter finish
It can update the look of the conservatory from the outside, and give a more “proper room” feel inside.
A better long-term solution
If you’ve had multiple repairs or persistent issues, replacing the roof system can be more cost-effective than constantly patching older materials.

What People Say About Us
Family-Run Roofing You Can Rely On.
Debbie
Roof Replacement
"I can’t speak high enough of John and his son, Anthony. My 101 year old Mum had water coming in through her kitchen ceiling following a recent storm and my friend recommended these guys having used them extensively in the past. They came out and gave a quote. However, once they started the job it quickly became apparent that the job was a lot bigger than first anticipated thanks to some previous workmanship resulting in the wall not even being attached to the house!! The job was completed today and I’m over the moon with the result. Would not hesitate to recommend for any roofing jobs."
Laura
Window Fitting
"John and his team were great, John came out promptly and looked at the job in hand and provided a quote in a timely manner, once we booked the job he kept in contact to come out and fully measure up and then organised the window install, john kept me updated all the way through and as soon as the window was made and ready organised a date to complete the job ,John and his team were lovely and very professional, really great job completed and they tidied up everything after, we would definitely use them again "
Richard
New Roof
"We knew from the very first conversation with the lady in the office that this would be a great firm to deal with. We were given an appointment for a quote and Anthony turned up bang on time as agreed. We agreed the cost and timing straight away. This is a family business & John & Anthony were fantastic to deal with. You can really tell that they care about their work & have great attention to detail. Their team of roofers were a great bunch of guys & they tidied up afterwards. Highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."
Conservatory Warm Roofs FAQs
What is a conservatory warm roof?
A conservatory warm roof is a lightweight, insulated roof system that replaces your existing conservatory roof (often old polycarbonate or glass).
The aim is simple: make the space feel more like a proper room by improving:
- Heat retention in winter
- Temperature control in summer
- Noise reduction (especially during rain)
- The overall look and finish inside and out
It’s a popular upgrade if your conservatory is too hot, too cold, or just not comfortable enough to use year-round.
Will a warm roof make my conservatory usable all year?
In most cases, yes it can make a massive difference.
A warm roof adds proper insulation and a solid build-up, which helps stabilise the temperature so the space doesn’t swing from freezing to boiling depending on the weather. It also tends to reduce drafts and makes the room feel more “sealed” and comfortable.
That said, the final result depends on the rest of the conservatory too things like:
- The quality of the frames and glazing
- Ventilation
- How the conservatory is connected to the house
- and whether you’ve got suitable heating
We’ll always be honest about what improvement you can expect on your specific set-up.
Do conservatory warm roofs need planning permission?
Often they don’t, but it depends on the property and the type of work being done.
Some warm roof upgrades can fall under permitted development, but factors like the conservatory’s size, how it’s attached, and any previous alterations can affect this. In some cases, Building Regulations may also apply, especially around insulation, structure and safety.
Best approach: treat it properly from day one — we can advise based on your conservatory and what you want to achieve.
