The installation process
 | Removal of the existing conservatory roof |
 | Installation of a new bespoke timber roof structure |
 | Thermal multi-foil insulation quilting is placed over the new timber rafters |
 | Treated timber battens are fitted over the multi-foil insulation quilting |
 | A layer of breathable felt roofing membrane is then installed |
 | Tiling battens are fitted over the felt |
 | Lightweight tiles are then fixed to the tiling battens |
 | PIR insulation boards are fixed between the rafters |
 | Insulated plasterboard is fitted to the underside of the rafters and plaster skimmed |
 | The conservatory is then fitted with all new facias and guttering |
The modern, lightweight TapcoSlate tiles used in our roofs are authentically shaped with textured surfaces and riven edges moulded from authentic slates. This makes them almost indistinguishable from natural slate – yet it has an even more refined appearance. They do not crack, break or delaminate, and its product formulation and manufacturing processes provide durability, performance, and longevity for many years to come!
The tiles are available in a range of colours and styles with the most popular shown here, giving you the option to either colour match your homes existing roof or go for something entirely different.

Alumaflex® is a thin and highly efficient multi-foil insulation, designed to help reduce energy costs, save on space and meet the thermal requirements.
It helps improve air-tightness compared with other forms of insulation and is ideal for timber frame insulation. It is manufactured in the UK and is one of only two multi-foil products that carry BBA certification.
Unlike many other solid roof installers we are accredited by Cure-It, the UK’s leading GRP flat roofing system which enables us to create new rainwater gulley’s which eliminate the need for a box guttering, which are intrusive into the conservatory. This seamless system looks like a traditional lead gulley yet has all the benefits of a modern fibreglass system.
Cure It is a revolutionary GRP waterproofing system made with a specially formulated roofing resin and topcoat, designed by the UK’s leading GRP flat roofing materials manufacturer, supplied with a 20 year materials guarantee and certified with Local Authority Building Control Registered Detail.
Cure It has a proven pedigree as a high specification roofing system through a comprehensive range of test accreditations to BS and to ETAG (European Technical Approval Guidelines) standards and real-world long term specifications.
