Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new conservatory roofs across Edinburgh, from the bungalows of Corstorphine, Blackhall and Craigentinny to the family estates of Gilmerton and South Queensferry. Plenty of those conservatories were built with polycarbonate or early glass overhead, and an Edinburgh winter with an easterly blowing finds every weakness in it. We take the old roof away, build an insulated one onto the frame and base you already have, and finish the inside with a plastered ceiling and lighting. You start with a free survey at home, you receive a clear quote, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Edinburgh conservatories come in every shape, from a lean-to behind a Craigentinny bungalow to a Victorian-style room on a Colinton villa, and the right roof depends on the house as much as the weather. A tiled or solid roof makes the room read as an extension and holds the heat. Glass keeps the sky over a garden you like looking at, and a hybrid gives you a solid roof with a lantern where the light matters. The surveyor compares them with you at the survey.
[ Lightweight tiled roof ]A fully insulated, tiled roof that looks like a proper extension from outside and feels like one inside. The warmest, quietest option, with no more drumming rain noise, and built to last 50 years or more. The best choice if you want to use the room all year.
[ Solid insulated roof ]Like the tiled option but finished inside with a plastered ceiling and downlights, so it reads as a normal room, not a conservatory. Ready to decorate to match the rest of the house.
[ Glass roof ]Keeps the room bright and open while fixing the temperature, using modern self-cleaning, solar-control glass. The right pick if losing the light is your main worry.
[ Hybrid roof ]A solid, insulated roof with glazed panels or a roof lantern set into it. You get the warmth and the quiet, plus a shaft of daylight where you want it. The best of both.
[ Warm in winter, cool in summer ]Every system is fully insulated to modern U-values, so the room holds its heat in January and stays comfortable in July. No more dripping condensation or a room you only use three months a year.
[ Signed off and certified ]We check your existing frame and base will take the new roof, handle the building control sign-off where needed, and give you the certificate for your records. Nothing left for you to chase later.
I loved the experience. The finished product was far beyond my expectations and the workload was quickly carried out and completed. The workers when they arrived were polite and maintained high quality standards. Further, they ensured the mess they made was cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall, I would highly recommend this service to others as the business is very professional.
Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. The qualities of the product were explained and demonstrated and we went ahead. We were delighted with the end product and the lads who done the job were friendly professional and approachable. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone and will do so if asked.
Brilliant communication, work done to a high standard and good prices. Would definitely use this company again.

Straight answers on price, timescales, building warrants and conservation areas, keeping the daylight, and whether your frame is up to it.
Pick up the phone and a person who knows these roofs answers your questions. Most days we reply within the hour, Monday to Sunday.
Call 0800 029 3875We do. Surveyors and vetted installers work across the city, from Cramond, Barnton and Corstorphine to Leith, Portobello, Liberton and Colinton, and out to South Queensferry, Musselburgh and Dalkeith. Surveys are carried out at your home, free, with no call-out fee and no travel charge.
Between £6,500 and £14,000 fitted covers most replacement roofs. Included in that are the strip-out of the old roof, structural reinforcement where required, the new roof system, a plasterboard ceiling, LED lighting and decoration. A big lean-to or Edwardian roof can run to £18,000 or above. The quote you receive after the survey is clear, free and carries no obligation. Various deposit options are available.
Typically 4 to 6 weeks. Survey and design take one to two weeks and manufacture two to three, then the work at your home lasts 3 to 7 working days for most roofs. The new roof goes on in sections and the room is sealed nightly, so Edinburgh rain during the job is not a problem.
Often, yes. Edinburgh has a large number of conservation areas, Colinton, Cramond, Morningside and Trinity among them, so we check the position for your address and apply for permission if it is required. Planning permission is rarely needed for a like-for-like replacement elsewhere in the city.
Converting a conservatory roof to a solid one normally needs a building warrant in Scotland. We manage the application with the City of Edinburgh Council, or with Midlothian or East Lothian Council if you are in Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg or Musselburgh, and issue your completion certificate once the work has been signed off.
The survey tells you. Our tiled and solid roofs are engineered to be light, and most uPVC and aluminium frames carry them without any alteration: nine in ten conservatories need no structural changes. The surveyor confirms the load calculation during the visit. Any reinforcement is explained and included in the quote, and if glass or a hybrid roof would be the better answer you will be told.
A great deal. A solid insulated roof has a U-value below 0.18 W/m²K, on a par with a modern extension roof, so with a radiator fitted the conservatory works as a living space through the winter. A modern insulated roof can also cut the cost of heating the conservatory by 70% or more compared with polycarbonate or old glass.
Yes, if the glass is modern. Replacement glass roofs use argon-filled sealed units with solar-control and self-cleaning glass, so the room stays bright, overheats far less in summer and holds more warmth in winter. If you want the insulation of a solid roof as well, a hybrid sets glazed panels or a roof lantern into it.
Noticeably. Glass does not drum in the rain the way polycarbonate does, and a tiled or solid insulated roof is quieter again. The insulated surface also stays warm on the inside, so the condensation that drips from an old roof on cold mornings stops.
Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).
