The roof
Replacing an older glass or polycarbonate roof with a highly insulated solid roof can completely change the character of the conservatory.
Is your conservatory still working for you?
Sometimes you know something needs to change. You just don't know how much.
Maybe you avoid the conservatory for half the year. Perhaps the frames are tired, the roof is dated or the doors no longer work for the way you use the garden.
You don't need to know exactly what needs replacing before speaking to us. Show us the room and tell us what's frustrating you. We'll start there.
Same space. A completely different room.
See what's already there with fresh eyes.
A rebuild doesn't mean putting back a newer version of exactly what you have now. It's a chance to look at the space differently and ask what you'd change if you were starting again.
What could you change?
You don't have to keep what isn't working.
Windows and glazing
Modern, energy-efficient windows can improve thermal performance while refreshing the appearance of the whole space.
Doors
Depending on the design, aluminium bifold doors, sliding doors or French doors can create a completely different connection between the conservatory and outside.
Rooflights
Rooflights can bring daylight through the new roof and open up views of the sky, with their position planned around the room.
More than a cosmetic upgrade
What matters underneath counts too.
A rebuild should solve the problems with the existing conservatory, not simply make it look newer.
That's why we'll assess what's already there before deciding what can stay and what needs to change.
Improved insulation
Modern roofing and insulation can make a significant difference to how the room performs as temperatures change outside.
The right structure underneath
We'll assess the existing conservatory to establish what can be retained and whether anything needs strengthening or replacing.
Building Regulations
Where Building Regulations apply, we'll make sure the relevant requirements are considered as the project develops.
Rebuild or replace the roof?
You may not need to change everything.
If your existing frames, windows and doors are in good condition and the roof is the main problem, a conservatory roof replacement may be all that's needed.
But if several parts of the conservatory are showing their age, replacing the roof while leaving tired frames, inefficient glazing or doors you don't like may only solve part of the problem.
We'll look at the conservatory as a whole before recommending what to do. You won't be pushed towards replacing things that don't need replacing.
Explore conservatory roof replacementsThe difference is in the everyday
It's not just about making an old conservatory look new.
Think about the small things. Walking into the conservatory on a cold morning without immediately wanting to turn around. Sitting down for a coffee without wondering whether the room will become unbearably hot later.
The roof, insulation, glazing, windows and doors can all improve how the conservatory performs. But the real difference is simpler. You start using it again.

Before. After. And everything in between.
Some transformations are easier to understand when you can actually see them.
Take a look at one of our conservatory rebuild projects to see what the space looked like before, what we changed along the way and how it came together as a finished room.

Why TCIC Living?
We start with what you already have.
A rebuild doesn't automatically mean replacing everything.
Because we work across conservatory roofs, insulation, windows, doors and complete rebuilds, we can look at the whole space and recommend where change will actually make a difference.
If something is worth keeping, we'll tell you. If replacing it would give you a better result, we'll explain why.

Conservatory Rebuild FAQs
What is a conservatory rebuild?
A conservatory rebuild involves upgrading several of the main elements of an existing conservatory to create a substantially improved room.
This could include a new solid roof, improved insulation, new windows and glazing, new doors and structural upgrades where required.
Do I need a full rebuild or just a replacement roof?
If your existing frames, windows and doors are still in good condition and the roof is the main problem, a conservatory roof replacement may be enough. If several elements are dated, inefficient or no longer work for you, a more comprehensive rebuild could make better sense.
Can you replace my glass or polycarbonate roof with a solid roof?
In many cases, yes, subject to the existing conservatory being suitable. The structure will need to be properly assessed before we can recommend the appropriate solid roof solution.
Can I change the windows and doors?
Yes. A rebuild is a great opportunity to reconsider your windows and doors rather than automatically recreating the existing design.
Can I add rooflights?
Yes. Rooflights can be incorporated into many solid conservatory roof designs and are a great way to bring additional daylight into the room from above.
Will rebuilding make my conservatory more comfortable?
Upgrading an older roof, insulation, glazing, windows and doors can make a significant difference to the thermal performance of a conservatory.
Will my conservatory need structural work?
Not necessarily. As part of planning a rebuild, we'll assess the existing conservatory to establish whether the structure is suitable for the proposed changes.
Does a conservatory rebuild need Building Regulations approval?
It depends on the work being carried out and the existing property. Building Regulations can apply to conservatory rebuild projects, particularly where structural or other significant changes are involved.
Do I need planning permission for a conservatory rebuild?
Not always, but this depends on the extent of the work, your property and any restrictions that apply.
How much does a conservatory rebuild cost?
It depends on the size and condition of your existing conservatory, how much can be retained and what you'd like to change.
