Have you decided it’s time to upgrade your conservatory with a conservatory transformation project?
Maybe you’re fed up with how cold it gets in winter and how warm it gets in summer, and you really want a conservatory that has a comfortable temperature all year round.
Perhaps your existing conservatory suffers from dampness and mould, and isn’t a place you’d feel comfortable entertaining guests.
Or does the sound of heavy rain on your polycarbonate roof make watching TV in the conservatory an activity where you have to turn the volume up to headache-inducing levels?
The good news is that upgrading your conservatory using a solid roof can solve all of these problems.
But whenever you’re making a long-term investment like a conservatory transformation project, it’s important that you do your research and choose suitable materials – and the right installer.
Even if you're familiar with home transformation projects, you’re likely to have a few questions about how to transform your conservatory into an energy efficient, all-year-round room.
Our team at Projects4Roofing has put together the following list of five crucial tips that you should consider before beginning your conservatory transformation project.
1. Use a solid, insulated roof
After managing conservatory roof replacement projects for over 30 years, our team of conservatory roof specialists is confident that solid insulated roofs are the best roofing system for conservatories.
A solid conservatory roof has additional layers of insulation in the roof structure, which helps keep you cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Having additional insulation also helps your conservatory be energy efficient. Saving energy with conservatory roof insulation is good for the environment and allows you to save on your energy bills.
An insulated conservatory roof can also reduce the level of outside noise and help turn your conservatory into a calm, relaxing space in your home.
A conservatory transformation project can also help your conservatory match the rest of your property aesthetically.
2. Check your local building regulations
Building regulations help ensure your home is safe and energy efficient.
Some companies suggest you don’t need to follow building regulations for a conservatory transformation project. But, if the project involves the installation of a tiled conservatory roof, they are wrong.
As a homeowner, if you make any changes or adjustments to your home without building regulations approval, you're responsible for the costs of removing or altering any work, if the local authority asks.
But don’t worry. If you choose a conservatory transformation project with Projects4Roofing, we’ll handle all building regulations approval on your behalf, and a certificate of compliance will be provided once the project is completed.
3. Know the schedule
Choosing to transform your conservatory into a solid roof conservatory is a significant investment.
You should make sure you have all the information you need about the project before your chosen conservatory roof specialists get started.
A reputable company like Projects4Roofing will provide you with a clear quote before beginning work, which will cover:
1. Their approach to building regulations
2. Their guarantees
3. The dimensions of your conservatory roof
4. Tile-type and finish
The quote Projects4Roofing provides will be clear on how long the conservatory transformation project is going to take, so you can plan around it.
For a lot of customers, it takes less time than you think. Many projects with Projects4Roofing can be completed in as little as 8 days.
4. Investigate guarantees
It's important to choose a company you can trust and that will stand behind their work when you're making a long-term investment like a conservatory roof replacement.
Make sure you read the small print and have a clear understanding of the guarantees that are being offered by your conservatory installation partner.
All the materials used by Projects4Roofing in your conservatory transformation project are covered by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.
In addition, we stand by the quality of all the work completed by our team of conservatory roof specialists and offer a 20-year installation guarantee.
5. Read past reviews
Testimonials and customer reviews can help you decide whether the conservatory roof specialists you choose are trustworthy and reliable or not.
Ideally, find a company that not only includes testimonials but also images of their projects. Looking at legitimate ‘before and after’ images can give you a better idea of what your property might look like after you replace your conservatory roof.
