Why choose a replacement tiled roof for your conservatory?
If your existing conservatory is a “no-go zone” because itโs freezing in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer, you aren’t alone. Older conservatories in the Midlands were built with outdated polycarbonate or basic glass roofs that can’t regulate temperature. Changing your roof to a modern, tiled system like the Ultraroof will solve these thermal problems
What style of conservatory do you have?
Upgrading to a new replacement roof transforms your conservatory into a comfortable, year-round living space. Whether you choose a solid tiled roof, high-performance glazing, or a stylish lantern, the right system improves insulation, reduces glare, and creates a room that feels like a true extension of your home rather than a seasonal add-on.
No Tie Bars
Unlike other roofs, Ultraroof doesnโt require unsightly internal tie bars to hold it together. You get a clean, uninterrupted vaulted ceiling that adds a sense of “drama” and space.
Authentic Look
The lightweight tiles look exactly like traditional slate or shingles, meaning your “new” room will finally look like a seamless extension of your house, not a bolt-on.
Weatherproof & Fire Safe
Fully tested and compliant with the latest Building Regulations and fire safety standards.
Thermal Economy
With a U-value of 0.15, it is as warm as a brick-built extension, drastically reducing your energy bills.

Common questions about replacement tiled roofs
Thinking about upgrading to a replacement tiled roof? Itโs one of the most effective ways to turn a conservatory into a comfortable, year-round living space. Below, 5 Star answer the most common questions homeowners ask about performance, installation, planning rules and what to expect from the transformation.
1. What are the main benefits of a replacement tiled roof?
A tiled roof dramatically improves insulation, helping keep your conservatory warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It reduces glare, minimises external noise and creates a more solid, extension-like feel. Many homeowners also notice lower heating bills and increased everyday usability.
2. Will my conservatory still feel light inside?
Yes. Replacement tiled roofs can include integrated skylights or roof windows to maintain natural light. Combined with glazed frames and doors, your space remains bright while gaining improved temperature control and comfort compared to older polycarbonate or glass roofs.
3. How long does installation take?
Most replacement tiled roofs are installed within a few days, depending on size and structural requirements. At 5 Star, our installation team will typically remove the existing roof and fit the new insulated system with minimal disruption, allowing you to enjoy the upgraded space quickly.
4. Do I need planning permission?
In many cases, a replacement tiled roof falls under permitted development, especially if the conservatory footprint remains unchanged. However, building regulations approval is usually required to ensure structural integrity and energy efficiency standards are met – 5 Star will advise if planning or Building Regs are required.
5. Will my existing frames support a tiled roof?
5 Star will conduct a professional survey and confirm suitability. Modern replacement roofs like the Ultraroof are lightweight and engineered to work with most existing conservatory frames. Structural reinforcements can be added where necessary to ensure long-term safety and performance.
6. Are tiled roofs energy efficient?
Yes. They include multiple layers of insulation and breathable membranes to improve thermal performance. This helps stabilise internal temperatures and reduces reliance on additional heating or cooling, making the space more energy efficient year-round.
7. What finish will the inside have?
Internally, tiled roofs are usually finished with a plastered ceiling and can include integrated lighting. This creates a seamless look that blends naturally with the rest of your home, making the conservatory feel like a true extension.
8. Will a replacement tiled roof add value to my home?
While value depends on many factors, improving comfort and usability can make your home more attractive to buyers. A well-insulated, all-season living space by 5 Star is often seen as a practical upgrade compared to an underused conservatory.
