Conservatory Roof Conversion in Merseyside

A conservatory with the original glass or polycarbonate roof is exempt from Building Regulations. The moment you convert to a solid roof, that exemption breaks — full approval, covering structural capacity and thermal performance, is genuinely required. We arrange this as standard on every conversion across Merseyside, not skipped to save time.

We target the current U-value guidance of around 0.18 W/m²K under Approved Document L — a dramatic improvement on the 2.0+ W/m²K typical of an old glass roof, and the entire reason the room becomes properly usable rather than just better looking.

A structural survey confirms your existing frame, base and foundations can support the additional weight before anything is quoted. We don't offer wrap-over or clad-over roofs, where a new structure is fitted over the old one rather than properly replaced — often a lower-cost option than full replacement, and it can raise condensation and leak risk if the existing structure is not properly assessed.
