Conservatory Roofs
in Dundee,
a room for every season.

Yes. We survey and fit across the whole city, including Broughty Ferry, Barnhill, the West End, Lochee, Downfield and Whitfield, and in Monifieth, Invergowrie and Birkhill. The survey at your home is free, there is no travel charge or call-out fee, and you are under no obligation once you have the quote.

Expect somewhere between £6,500 and £14,000 fully fitted for most roofs. The figure includes removing the old roof, any structural reinforcement, the new roof system, a plasterboard ceiling, LED lighting and decoration. Large lean-to and Edwardian roofs can come to £18,000 or more. Your quote is clear, free and comes with no obligation. Various deposit options are available.

A lot of Dundee gardens face south over the Tay, so this comes up often. A tiled or solid insulated roof shades the room completely and keeps it comfortable in July. If you would rather keep the sky, a glass roof with solar-control glass reflects a large share of the sun's heat before it gets in. A hybrid roof, solid with a glazed lantern or panels, sits between the two.

Yes. A solid insulated roof reaches a U-value below 0.18 W/m²K, comparable to the roof on a modern extension. With a radiator and your existing glazed walls, the conservatory becomes a room for the whole year. All of our roof systems are insulated to modern U-values, so the heat you pay for stays in the room.

Most conservatory roofs are done in 3 to 7 working days on site. Allow 4 to 6 weeks overall from your go-ahead to handover: one to two weeks for survey and design, two to three weeks of manufacture, then the fitting. The old roof comes off in sections and the room is sealed each evening, so it is never left open to the weather overnight.

A building warrant is normally required in Scotland when a conservatory roof is converted to a solid one, and we make the application for you, to Dundee City Council or to Angus Council if you live in Monifieth or Carnoustie. When the work is signed off you get the completion certificate for your records. Planning permission is seldom needed when one roof is swapped for a similar one. In a conservation area, such as parts of Broughty Ferry and the West End, we check on your behalf and apply if it is needed.

Usually it can. Most uPVC and aluminium conservatory frames are strong enough for a lightweight tiled or insulated roof, and about nine in ten conservatories need no structural changes at all. The surveyor confirms the load calculation at the survey. Where reinforcement is needed it is explained and included in your quote, and where a solid roof will not suit we say so plainly and recommend glass or a hybrid.

Yes. The drumming comes from thin polycarbonate. A tiled or solid insulated roof is the quietest choice, and modern glass is far quieter than polycarbonate too. The insulation also keeps the inner surface warm, which is what puts an end to condensation dripping from the roof in cold weather.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years.
