Conservatory Roofs
in Dumfries,
for a room that works in July and January.

We do, and there is not. A surveyor travels to your home anywhere in the town and the country round it, from Cargenbridge and Maxwelltown to Locharbriggs, Heathhall and Collin, with no travel charge and no call-out fee. The quote that follows is free too, and going ahead is entirely your decision.

Most come in between £6,500 and £14,000 fitted. That price covers stripping the old roof off, any strengthening the frame needs, the new roof system, a plasterboard ceiling, LED lights and decoration. A big lean-to or a wide Edwardian can run to £18,000 and beyond. You get a clear quote after the free survey. Various deposit options are available.

A tiled or solid roof does both at once. Insulation in the roof keeps the summer sun from pouring heat into the room and keeps the warmth in once the temperature drops, so the swing between the two seasons largely disappears. If you cannot give up the daylight, solar-control glass cuts the solar gain while staying clear, and a hybrid roof combines an insulated deck with a glazed section over the part of the room you want bright.

That is one of the commonest reasons people ring us. Solar-control glass carries a coating that reflects a large share of the sun's heat and takes the harshness out of the light without making the room dim. A solid roof removes the overhead glare altogether and leaves the light coming in through the glazed walls, which many households find more comfortable to live with.

Yes. The drumming comes from rain striking thin polycarbonate sheets with nothing behind them to absorb the sound. A tiled or solid roof is built up in layers with insulation and a plasterboard ceiling underneath, so the noise is soaked up before it reaches the room. Glass is noticeably quieter than polycarbonate too, though a solid roof is the quietest of the four.

In Scotland converting a conservatory roof to a solid one normally calls for a building warrant. We prepare and submit the application to Dumfries and Galloway Council and hand you the completion certificate once it has been signed off. A like-for-like glazed replacement rarely needs planning permission, and if your address falls inside one of the town's conservation areas we check the position for you before anything is ordered.

In most cases it will. The tiled and solid systems we fit are engineered to be light enough for an existing frame and base, and around nine conservatories in ten need no structural work at all. The surveyor runs the load check during the visit. Where a frame does need strengthening, it is explained on the day and included in the price, and if a solid roof simply is not right for the structure we will tell you and point you at glass or a hybrid instead.

On site, reckon on 3 to 7 working days. From the day you accept to the day we hand over is usually 4 to 6 weeks, which allows for the survey and design and then the weeks the roof takes to be made. The conservatory is made weather-tight before the installers leave each evening.

All workmanship is guaranteed. That means the way the roof system, the insulation, the plasterboard ceiling and the electrical work have been installed. The surveyor will run through the detail with you while they are at the house.
