A typical single-storey rear extension runs 12 to 16 weeks on site. Design and approvals before that take 8 to 12 weeks depending on your council. We give you a written programme up front and staged payments that follow the build, never run ahead of it.

Most extensions are designed first and glazed as an afterthought — then the client discovers the spans need steel they didn't budget. We design the other way round: decide the glass moments first (the bifold wall, the lantern, the picture window), then build the structure to carry them. The result is more light for the same money.

If the conservatory faces south and cooks in summer, go tiled. You can always add small Velux skylights for natural light. If it faces north and is already dark, go glass lantern to maximise the light. If it is east or west facing and you love the sky view, go hybrid.

Most conservatory roof replacements fall under the Class 7 exemption in the Building Regulations. That means no planning permission as long as the conservatory itself was legally built and the footprint does not change. We always verify with your local authority first to be safe.

A typical 3 m by 4 m conservatory takes 2 to 4 days on site depending on roof type. Tiled roofs are slightly longer because of the internal plastering. Glass lanterns can often be fitted in 1 day once delivered. We coordinate every trade - structural checks, roofers, plasterers, electricians - so you only talk to us.

In 95 percent of cases we keep the existing walls and windows. They are fine structurally and any thermal weakness is mostly in the old roof. On the rare occasion the walls have decayed we can price rebuild options as part of the visit.

A tiled replacement roof has a fully plastered vaulted ceiling inside, ready to paint. We install LED spotlights as standard - usually 4 to 8 depending on room size - plus an optional loft hatch for cable runs. Cornicing, skirting returns and decorative trims are all possible.

Book a free site visit using the form above. We arrive with laminate samples of the tile roof system, printed photos of recent jobs, and the iPad portfolio. We measure everything, talk through options with you, and give you a written quote in the same visit or within 24 hours. Nothing to pay until you sign the order.

Far less than people fear. The old roof comes off and the new one goes on in two to five days, weather managed throughout. You lose the room for under a week and get it back for every week after.

Tiled replacement roofs start from about £6,500 for a small lean-to conservatory up to £15,000+ for larger P-shape and gable-front roofs, fully installed and plastered. Glass lanterns start lower for the glazing unit but the price depends heavily on size and lantern complexity. Hybrid sits in between. We give fixed written quotes with no hidden extras.
