Windows Buyers Guide

Make a well-informed decision

You will get far more use out of your conservatory after the installation of a new lightweight tiled roof. It will generate a cosy โ€˜room-likeโ€™ atmosphere and have a modern internally finished ceiling, making your old conservatory feel brand-new again.

It is essential that any roofing system integrated into an existing conservatory is lightweight so that the frames and base can hold up against it. Ahead of a roof installation, an inspection of the structure will be carried out to check that the frames and base will not be compromised by the addition of a new solid roof.

Living Spaces

Bring in some light

You want a light, bright space throughout the daytime and the way to get that is to have โ€˜design-inโ€™ performance glass panels or Velux windows incorporated into your solid roof. They will also contribute to the thermal efficiency offered by the roof, so you can look forward to warmth in any weather.

Common questions about replacement roofs

Choosing a replacement roof is a big decision. You want reassurance on comfort, cost, disruption and long-term value before moving ahead. This buyerโ€™s guide is designed to help you ask the right questions and understand exactly what to expect when upgrading your conservatory roof with 5 Star Windows & Conservatories

1. What types of replacement roofs does 5 Star offer?

5 Star offers high-performance solid tiled roofs and advanced glass roof systems, giving homeowners flexibility depending on style and insulation needs. Each system is designed to improve thermal efficiency, reduce glare and enhance everyday comfort while maintaining the character of your conservatory.

2. Will a replacement roof really make my conservatory usable all year?

Yes. Modern replacement roofs are built with multi-layer insulation and breathable membranes that significantly improve temperature control. This helps keep the space warmer during winter and cooler in summer, turning a previously seasonal room into a practical, comfortable living area.

3. How do I know if my existing conservatory can support a tiled roof?

A detailed survey is carried out before installation. Lightweight roofing systems are engineered to work with most existing frames, but structural checks ensure everything meets safety and building regulation standards. Any reinforcements required will be clearly explained before work begins.

4. Do I need planning permission to replace my conservatory roof?

In most cases, planning permission is not required if the structure remains the same size. However, building regulations approval is typically necessary. 5 Star manages this process, ensuring your new roof complies with structural and thermal performance requirements.

5. How long does installation take?

Most replacement roof installations are completed within a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the conservatory. The existing roof is carefully removed, the new system installed, and the interior finished with minimal disruption to your home.

6. Will I still get natural light with a solid tiled roof?

Absolutely. Solid roofs can incorporate skylights or roof windows to maintain natural daylight. This gives you the best of both worlds โ€” improved insulation and reduced glare, while still enjoying a bright and inviting space.

7. What will the inside of my conservatory look like afterwards?

Internally, replacement roofs are usually finished with a plastered ceiling, often with integrated lighting. The result is a seamless, extension-style finish that blends naturally with the rest of your home, creating a more permanent and high-quality feel.

8. Does a replacement roof add value to my home?

While value depends on individual circumstances, a well-insulated, year-round living space is often more appealing to future buyers than an underused conservatory. Improving comfort, energy efficiency and usability can make your home more attractive in the long term.
