Conservatory Roofs
in Glasgow,
dry, quiet and warm.

As a guide, most replacement roofs come in between £6,500 and £14,000 fitted. That includes removing the old roof, any strengthening the frame needs, the new roof system, a plasterboard ceiling, LED lighting and decoration. A big lean-to or Edwardian roof can go to £18,000 or more. The survey and the quote are free and carry no obligation. Various deposit options are available.

Between 3 and 7 working days for most roofs. The old roof is stripped, the new one goes on in sections and everything is sealed before the fitters leave each evening, so a wet Glasgow night never reaches the room. A glass roof is usually at the quicker end of that range.

There is no conservatory roof on display, and we would rather say so than have you make the trip expecting one. The showroom inside Dobbies Garden Centre at Braehead (75 Kings Inch Drive, Renfrew, G51 4FB) is open from 10am to 5pm every day, and it is a good place to sit down with your photos and talk through tiled, solid, glass and hybrid roofs. The samples and the structural check come to you at the free survey, because a roof has to be judged against your own frame.

In Scotland a building warrant is normally required when a conservatory roof is converted to a solid one. We make the application for you, to Glasgow City Council, to East Dunbartonshire Council for Bearsden, Milngavie and Bishopbriggs, or to East Renfrewshire Council for Giffnock, Clarkston and Newton Mearns, and you get the completion certificate once the work is signed off. A straight like-for-like swap rarely calls for planning permission. In a conservation area such as Pollokshields or Newlands we check on your behalf and apply if it is needed.

Usually. The tiled and solid systems are lightweight by design, so they sit on the frame and base you already have, and about nine in ten conservatories need no structural work. The load calculation is checked on the surveyor's first visit. Where strengthening is needed it is explained and included in your quote, and where a solid roof is the wrong answer we will tell you and point you towards glass or a hybrid.

Any of them will be a big improvement on polycarbonate. A tiled or solid roof shades the room completely and is fully insulated, so it stays comfortable in July as well as January. If you want to keep the sky, modern glass with a solar-control coating reflects a large share of the sun's heat before it gets in, and it is self-cleaning, which is handy under Glasgow's trees and gulls.

Yes. A tiled or solid insulated roof is the quietest choice and the drumming simply goes. A glass roof is far quieter than polycarbonate too, because glass is heavier and does not rattle the way thin plastic sheet does. It is the change customers mention most once the job is finished.

That is the reason most people do it. A solid insulated roof reaches a U-value below 0.18 W/m²K, in line with the roof of a modern extension, and most of a conservatory's heat is lost through the roof. With a radiator and your existing glazed walls the room becomes part of the house all year, not a store for the garden chairs.

All of it, G1 to G78. That takes in the West End, Jordanhill, Knightswood and Summerston, Robroyston, Baillieston and Mount Vernon in the east, King's Park, Cathcart, Newlands and Darnley on the Southside, and the suburbs of Bearsden, Milngavie, Bishopbriggs, Lenzie, Giffnock, Clarkston, Newton Mearns, Rutherglen and Cambuslang. Surveys are free at every one of those addresses.

All workmanship is guaranteed. That covers the way the roof system, the insulation, the plastered ceiling and the electrics are fitted. Ask the surveyor to take you through the details when they visit.
