Conservatory Roofs
in Oban,
made for Argyll rain.

Yes, and there is no charge for the visit. A surveyor comes to your own address anywhere in PA34, from the town itself out to Kilmore, Dunbeg, Connel, Benderloch and Taynuilt, with no travel charge and no call-out fee. The quote that follows costs nothing either, and whether you take it up is entirely your decision.

Most fall between £6,500 and £14,000, fitted. That figure includes removing the old roof, any strengthening the frame turns out to need, the new roof system, a plasterboard ceiling, LED lighting and decoration. A very large lean-to can push beyond £18,000. Your own number follows the free survey. Various deposit options are available.

A considerable one. A tiled or solid insulated roof ends the drumming entirely, and because the inside face stays warm there is nothing for condensation to settle on, so the room stops feeling damp. It also takes away the green weathering that grows on old polycarbonate in a wet climate. If you prefer glass, modern self-cleaning glazing sheds dirt far better than the sheet you have now.

It will. An insulated solid roof reaches a U-value below 0.18 W/m²K, the same sort of standard as the roof of a modern extension, and a conservatory loses most of its heat upwards. Put a radiator in and the room is somewhere to sit in January instead of a store for garden tools.

A conversion to a solid roof normally requires a building warrant in Scotland, and the application is prepared and lodged by us with Argyll and Bute Council. The completion certificate comes to you when the work has been signed off. A like-for-like glazed replacement rarely calls for planning permission, and we check the position before anything is ordered if your home sits in a conservation area.

Very probably. The systems are made light on purpose so the existing frame and base carry them, and roughly nine conservatories in ten need no structural work. The surveyor assesses the frame and the base on the visit. If a post or a beam needs attention it goes into the quote where you can see it, and if the structure will not take a solid roof you are told so and shown the glass and hybrid options instead.

The fitting is 3 to 7 working days. Making the roof to your measurements takes longer than putting it up, so allow four to six weeks from the order to the handover. The conservatory is closed up and made weather-tight before anyone leaves at night, which matters rather more here than it does elsewhere.

Not at all. A glass roof keeps the outlook and uses solar-control glazing to stop the room overheating on the bright days. A hybrid gives you an insulated deck with a lantern or glazed panels set into it, so the warmth and the quiet arrive without emptying the room of light.

All of PA34 and the coast around it: the town centre, Corran Esplanade, Dunollie, Ganavan, Longsdale, Glencruitten, Soroba, Lochavullin, Glenshellach, Pulpit Hill, Gallanach, Ardconnel and Rockfield, plus Lerags, Kilmore, Kilninver, Dunbeg, Connel, North Connel, Benderloch, Ledaig, Barcaldine, Taynuilt and Appin. No travel charge applies at any of them.

All workmanship is guaranteed, which takes in the way the roof system, the insulation, the plasterboard ceiling and the electrics have been fitted. Ask the surveyor to take you through the detail when they visit.
