With the average cost of an extension estimated to be in the region of £25,000, a Garden Room upgrade is an incredibly cost effective way to carry out a replace conservatory roof project. A Garden Room roof is one that is tiled to the exterior with a fully plastered and insulated internal finish that can accommodate downlighters and even Velux rooflights.

The Garden Room has an extension feel to it, but with additional light and there are a number of tiled options that are offered to help match with the existing fabric of the building. This exciting new product is exclusive to Refurbish My Conservatory and has had the benefit of considerable time, money and resources in its development. The external award-winning ‘Envirotile’ is also offered with a 20 year guarantee.

Due to its superior insulation and sound absorbing qualities, a Garden Room makes for a more all-year round extended living area to the home as our customers are experiencing. Some have even described it as a revelation, as they re-discover a completely new room in the house! It is for many a new generation of living space, with the room over 6 times as energy efficient as a modern glass conservatory roof. We also have access to the exclusive structurally proven Retro-fix posts which help support the added weight of a Garden Room roof, so you can be assured that it will last for many, many years to come.

Anyone Googling ‘conservatory repairs’, ‘replacement conservatory roof’ and other similar keywords may also see companies offering to refurbish their existing roof with the installation of plasterboard on the inside and finishing it off with spotlights etc. While it may appear to solve a problem and make the conservatory more energy efficient, in our experience it is very bad practice and can cause some serious problems for consumers. Conservatories by their very design are made to move, plasterboard is not!

Having seen some of these projects over recent weeks and months they have added to the existing problems by causing condensation in the conservatory. Conservatories like traditional brick and mortar built buildings need to breathe and it’s part of Building Regulations. Consumers looking for a solid internal finish should have a look at our latest Garden Room product that has been designed for new and conservatory roof replacement projects. The tiled finish is combined with our unique fixed joint technology to help transform your existing conservatory into a new luxurious and energy efficient, Garden Room.

The Garden Room Roof has been developed for both new installations and for the replacement conservatory market. Conservatory refurbishment specialists such as Artisan, have been quick to embrace the development. This latest case study in Lixwm, North Wales came about when the homeowner wanted additional living space more in keeping with the existing house design, yet with a real sense of style and grandeur.

From the base upwards the project took just over two days to complete, with the Garden Room Roof incorporating four hips and two Velux rooflights. The windows, doors and rendering were designed to help match into the existing fabric of the house and the Envirotile exterior of the roof, closely resembled the existing roof to the property. This project is a perfect example of what can be achieved for conservatory replacement projects.

There are a number of key features of the Garden Room Roof, which incorporates fixed joint technology, unlike conservatory roofs that are designed to accommodate an amount of flex. The Garden Room Roof is also highly energy efficient and for specifiers, the warm roof construction ensures fantastic insulation performance with a U-value of just 0.17 W/m2K. The fact that the panels are pre-prepared in the factory makes it easy for Registered Installers of Refurbish My Conservatory onsite.

The replace conservatory roof market not only is growing, but it’s evolving. Consumers now have the option to undertake a conservatory replacement projection with the option of a new conservatory roof in high performance glass, a Garden Room roof or even a contemporary Livin Room/Loggia roof which incorporates a box section to the inside of the roof for the incorporation of downlighters or even speakers.

For many homeowners with tired conservatories, these once prized additions to the home have fallen into a state of disrepair and are merely used as storage areas. They are also treated as a second class part of the home. Most consumers are unaware of what can be achieved for a very modest amount, far less than the original cost of the conservatory.

Poor installation standards have proven over time to contribute to the failure of conservatories. Excessive use of silicone and poor fitting trims can contribute to a tired looking conservatory on the outside, with the potential for leaks on the inside. During the boom of the conservatory market around 10 years ago, the vast majority of conservatories were glazed with polycarbonate roof panels which over time deteriorate and become discoloured. This is where a conservatory roof replacement or conservatory replacement project can transform an eyesore into a prized feature on the home.

First generation conservatories, particularly in PVCu, have now been replaced by 2^nd generation conservatories and even other forms of glazed extensions, including Orangeries and cross-over rooms. These modern solutions to additional living space also benefit from specialist conservatory roof glass, which are design to keep the room cool in summer and warm in winter. This specialist glass can also boast self cleaning and is available in various tints to help reduce glare.

The options to addressing an existing conservatory are simple. You can replace the conservatory roof only for a cost effective project. Secondly you can replace the roof, windows and doors and benefit from the option of over 10 colours. Finally you can have the option to redefine your extra living space with an Orangery or a combination of Orangery and conservatory.

Other design features include cornice, which shrouds the existing gutter and provides a clean modern look, along with the chunky pilaster corner post. Conservatory replacement and conservatory roof replacement projects are going to be one of the big things as homeowners look to invest in their properties and rediscover their pride in a conservatory or glazed extension.

Refurbish My Conservatory are the only company in the UK to offer specialist products such as Multibeam and Retrofix for conservatory roof replacements. These products help support the additional weight of a second generation conservatory roof. As homeowners look less likely to move, many will seek to rediscover their lost conservatory space with a conservatory replacement project searching for keywords on the internet such as ‘refresh conservatory roof.’

Finesse Windows have been installing conservatories in the West Midlands since 1981 and have satisfied and delighted thousands of homeowners across the region during this time. More recently the company has become one of the first in the area to become a Registered Installer for Refurbish My Conservatory and are looking to take a leading stance for conservatory repairs, conservatory upgrades and conservatory replacements.

This latest repair conservatory project in involved the installation of new PVCu windows, French doors and a new roof glazed in 25mm opal polycarbonate, all within a very tight budget. What was once a store room has now been transformed into functional additional room to the house.

There’s a wide variety of options open to consumers looking to replace their existing conservatory that includes 9 foiled finishes or even a bespoke paint finish, both of which carry a comprehensive warranty. Other design options also include the new Livin Room, which is a combination of traditional orangery and modern conservatory, but at a more affordable price point. Homeowners love the boxed out appearance on the inside, which is perfect for spotlights.

Refurbish My Conservatory are the UK’s only nationwide conservatory replacement specialists and estimate that of the UK’s estimated 3million conservatories, 500,000 are in need of urgent upgrade. As this latest project shows, it’s often only a case of replacing the roof, windows and doors, though in many cases a roof only replacement can be undertaken. Upon inspection of one of these conservatories, what appears to be a conservatory repair project can quickly escalate into a replacement.

A damaged conservatory can often lead to further problems in terms of leaks and that’s when internal furnishing including furniture and flooring end up being damaged. It’s important for any homeowner to seek the help of professionals when looking at a tired conservatory.

Refurbish My Conservatory are the only company in the UK to offer specialist products such as Multibeam and Retrofix for conservatory roof replacements. These products help support the additional weight of a second generation conservatory roof. As homeowners look less likely to move, many will seek to rediscover their lost conservatory space with a conservatory replacement project.

Over the last 12 months the company has been involved in over 20 replace conservatory roofs projects involving conservatory repair, roof replacement and complete conservatory rebuild. In several instances, a damaged conservatory hasn’t just required a quick repair, but a more long-term replacement of key elements and at a fraction of the cost of the original installation, to the delight of several homeowners.

In this latest case study, a Manchester homeowner wanted to replace a tired and cold conservatory on the back of a prestigious house. Using the exclusive products from Refurbish My Conservatory, T&J were able to undertake a conservatory roof replacement, taking down the tired old one and replacing it with a latest generation new one., making for a complete conservatory refurbishment project.

The homeowners were also delighted with the free upgrade to Ambience Roof Glass, which is designed to keep the warmth in during the winter and to keep the conservatory cooler in summer. Conservatories typically older than 6-7 years often have poorly performing polycarbonate used to glaze the roof or just plain glass. Ambience Glass was purely developed for specialist use as a new glass for a conservatory roof and one that was designed for all-year round use, with a range of subtle tints to reduce glare.

Older conservatories that look tired may also be prone to leaks as well as heat loss and it’s not uncommon to see plastic trims hanging off the sides or even discolouration of key components. Refurbish My Conservatory and their Registered Installers such as T&J Conservatories, are now advising homeowners to get a free conservatory consultation, before it’s too late. Once a conservatory has begun to fail then it will often result in further problems, including damage to the internal furnishings. A conservatory replacement or conservatory roof replacement is a very cost effective project, allowing homeowners across the UK to rediscover their lost living space. T&J are building quite a reputation in their area to replace conservatory roofs.

Tim Davies, co-director of T&J Conservatories comments: “A conservatory repair or a damaged conservatory should be looked at straight away. Not only can we address the problem, but upgrade your existing conservatory into something really special thanks to new products, specialist conservatory glass and a range of over 10 colours. Go on join our list of delighted customers!”

The boom in the conservatory market saw many homeowners opting for a conservatory roof glazed with polycarbonate sheets when the market was at its peak around 10 years ago. Unfortunately, polycarbonate can discolour quite quickly and the roofing sheets often suffer from insect and even water ingression. What was once a proud addition to a home can now be more of an embarrassment and an eye sore.

There’s now an estimated 500,000 installations in need of conservatory replacement or conservatory roof replacement, the vast majority glazed in polycarbonate. Today, the next generation of conservatories are generally installed using high specification roof glass, such as Ambience Glass. This helps keep the heat in during the winter months and helps keep the conservatory cool during the summer. At RefurbishMyConservatory they offer a wide range of high specification glass options, each with a subtle colour tint for the perfect conservatory replacement project.

Unfortunately during the boom period, a number of companies started up claiming to be able to install a conservatory to professional standards. However in certain circumstances this was not the case and at RefurbishMyConservatory we have seen a lot of botched jobs where silicone has been used excessively to minimise the potential for any leaks, along with many other problems. Their nationwide network of Registered Installers is experienced in conservatory projects from the most simplest to the most complex and they also have the backing of their considerable resources and support team.

Conservatory replacement projects can vary from just a conservatory roof replacement to roof, windows and doors and on to a complete new conservatory. Existing conservatory bases can also be modified in certain circumstances, to take advantage of new products and designs. A number of dedicated products are only available from RefurbishMyConservatory, as the UK’s leading conservatory refurbishment specialists.

Consumers are now looking at new colours and RefurbishMyConservatory can boast 9 foiled finishes and even a bespoke paint finish, both with a long lasting and comprehensive warranty. Other design options now include the new Livin Room which is a combination of traditional orangery and modern conservatory. Homeowners love the boxed out appearance on the inside, which is perfect for spotlights.

Other design features include cornice, which shrouds the existing gutter and provides a clean modern look, along with the chunky pilaster corner post. Conservatories have moved on considerably over the last few years and homeowners can now make an impressive upgrade for a relatively small investment thanks to RefurbishMyConservatory.  Conservatory replacement and conservatory roof replacements are going to be one of the big things as homeowners look to invest in their properties and rediscover their pride in a conservatory or glazed extension.

Thanks to RefurbishMyConservatory, the opportunity to upgrade an existing conservatory is now a reality and at a fraction of the cost of the original installation. Simple conservatory repairs can quickly escalate into further works as more problems arise and for this reason more homeowners are looking at conservatory refurb projects instead. It’s also an opportunity for the consumer to rediscover that extra living space and pride in their conservatory.

Rather than trying to make temporary repairs to a tired polycarbonate roof that may have damaged panels, consumers are increasingly having their old roofs replaced with new latest generation ones that are glazed in high performance and energy efficient glass. Generally it’s the conservatory roof that fails first and begins to look unsightly and it’s often difficult to assess its general condition. With this in mind your local RefurbishMyConservatory Registered Installer would be please to give you a free conservatory assessment.

Consumers are also increasingly looking at the latest trends in coloured conservatories. From the woodgrain options of golden oak and rosewood to the whitegrain and chartwell green options, there are a number of options to make your conservatory look a little more special. By keeping your existing conservatory base new highly energy efficient windows and doors can be added in a variety of colours. With new windows and doors there can be changes made to the design of the roof, you’d be amazed what can be achieved with a little imagination and expertise! Given that there are no groundworks for such projects there is little if no disruption in the garden, eliminating the need for any landscaping after the project is complete.

Damaged conservatory panels cannot be easily replaced without damaging existing cappings etc and there is the further problem of getting replacement ones to match the other weathered panels. Damaged trims, ineffective silicone and other problems can result in leaks into the conservatory, with the risk of damaging fixtures and fittings inside. The experience and expertise at RefurbishMyConservatory has shown that upgrading an existing conservatory is a far better option than trying to make repairs to an existing one.

Want to replace your conservatory with an Orangery but are worried about the cost, then you should consider upgrading to one of our Livin Rooms.

Livin Room is the best of worlds, combining the light and sky of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of an extension. Livin Room is truly multi-functional, creating a pleasant and relaxing space to dine in, relax or to use as a general family room.

There are a number of key features for our newly launched Livin Room. You can enjoy the light from a conservatory with the feel of an extension – providing greater overall value and the best of all worlds. It will add considerable value on your home too. It also looks and feels part of the house with more use of brick columns than a traditional conservatory, space that can be used for pictures and mirrors.

You can maintain light and space by using windows all round OR have brick piers to give a greater sense of solidity with Livin Room. It’s also backed by a comprehensive 10 year guarantee through your local Registered Installer and offers better thermal efficiency when compared to a standard conservatory, helping you save money on expensive heating bills.

This real room/living room feel means more styling and furnishing options and the perimeter ceiling is perfect for down lighters. And let’s not forget outside, the bit your neighbours see. It changes the visual dynamics externally too by using Cornice which hides the gutter, for a smooth finish at the wall/roof interface.

Talk to your local Registered Conservatory Installer about this exciting new cross over product.

Nearly all of the conservatories that are replaced by RefurbishMyConservatory are Lean-to, Victorian, Georgian/Edwardian, gable or combination designs. However through the development of new products such as Cornice, the traditional conservatory can now benefit from a modern twist. Orangeries are now very much in vogue and we can offer a number of different options dependent upon the requirements and budget of the homeowner.

Conservatories have been generally available in white and just a few woodgrain options such as rosewood and golden oak. However we can now offer a range of several laminated finishes in addition to the standard white colour. We can also offer you products in a complete range of long lasting, heavy duty acryllic paint colours that’s been developed from the automotive industry.

If you’re looking to replace your windows and doors then you can look for a change of style, increase the glass area and reduce the PVCu sightlines. Patio doors can be replaced with French (double) doors or you can even open up one side of your conservatory with a set of bi-folding doors.

Our advice is to replace your conservatory with something a little more stylish and enjoy a design of the times!
