CONSERVATORY ROOF REPLACEMENT

Turn that freezing-in-winter, baking-in-summer

conservatory into a room you actually use.

A new roof transforms a tired conservatory into a properly comfortable extension — warm in February, cool in July, and used all year round. Four Ultraframe roof systems to pick from, ranging from full-glass to full-tile.

WHY REPLACE?

The problem with an old conservatory roof.

Most conservatories built in the '90s and 2000s have polycarbonate or single-glazed glass roofs. They were fine at the time — but they don't insulate, don't keep the heat out, and don't keep the heat in.

Unusable in summer

An old polycarbonate or thin-glass roof acts like a greenhouse. Mid-July, your conservatory becomes a no-go zone — too hot to sit in, too hot to leave the dog in.

Freezing in winter

Heat leaks out through the roof like an open window. The conservatory becomes a cold porch by November — and your heating bills creep up because the rest of the house is fighting it.

Noise & glare

Heavy rain on polycarbonate is genuinely deafening. Sunlight glare makes the TV unwatchable. Both go away with a properly insulated roof system.

THREE WAYS TO CHANGE

How much do you want to change?

Roof replacement isn't an all-or-nothing decision. Depending on your conservatory's condition and your budget, you've got three options — from a roof-only swap right through to a full rebuild.

1

Re-Roof

Keep your existing frames and base — swap out the tired roof for a modern Ultraframe system. Quickest, least disruptive, lowest cost.

2

Replace

Keep the existing base (foundations and walls), but replace both the roof and the frames. New look, modern insulation, but no groundwork required.

3

Rebuild with hup!

Full rebuild using Ultraframe's hup! system — a true insulated extension with brick or render finish. Effectively a new room, on your existing footprint.

THE FOUR ROOF OPTIONS

Pick the one that fits your conservatory.

Four Ultraframe systems, four different jobs. The right choice depends on how much light you want, how the conservatory connects to the rest of the house, and whether you want it to look like a glass conservatory or a proper room.

GLASS ROOF

ULTRAFRAME GLASSROOF

Maximum light, modern glass.

The traditional conservatory look, properly engineered.

If you want the conservatory to *feel* like a conservatory — bright, glassy, full of sky — this is the route. Modern high-performance glass with thermal coatings gives you a fraction of the heat loss of the old glass-and-polycarbonate roofs, without losing any of the brightness.

Industry-leading technology and componentsfrom Ultraframe
Performance glass with thermal & solar coatings as standard
Configurable glazing panel sizes to suit any conservatory shape
Built for longevity— engineered as an investment, not a quick fix

Best for - homes where you want to keep the bright, airy conservatory feel; properties where the room is used as a garden room or sunroom.

HYBRID SOLID & GLASS

ULTRAFRAME LIVINROOF

The best of both worlds.

Solid panels for privacy and warmth, glass panels for light.

Livinroof is the answer if you can't decide between glass and tile. The bulk of the roof is solid and insulated (so the room is properly warm), but you keep glazed sections positioned exactly where you want them. The hybrid approach lets the room feel like an extension rather than a conservatory, while still bringing in plenty of light.

Brightest — more glazing options than any other solid roof
Warmest — true warm roof system with no cold bridging, thermally insulated internal pelmet as standard
Lightest — only 31kg/m², so usually no structural reinforcement needed
Versatile — most configurable solid roofing system, ideal for low-pitched lean-to designs
Safest — engineered to postcode, wind tested to 130mph hurricane forces
Fire tested — independently and fully fire tested

Best for — most conservatories. Probably the most popular choice. It gives you a properly insulated room while keeping enough glass to feel light and airy.

TILED ROOF

ULTRAFRAME ULTRAROOF

The real-extension look.

Tile finish from outside, real room inside.

Ultraroof gives you a lightweight tiled finish that's effectively indistinguishable from a regular extension roof from the street. Full-length glazed panels can be added where you want them, but the bulk is tile — so the room behaves like an extension, with proper temperature control all year round.

Preferred — 8 out of 10 homeowners prefer Ultraroof; full-length glass panels, no tie bar, highly authentic tile finish
Warmest — true warm roof with no cold bridging, fully insulated 380mm structural beam
Lightest — only 38kg/m², lightweight panels easy to manoeuvre
Strongest — unsupported spans up to 4m, larger designs up to 6.7m × 5m
Fastest — faster to fit than any other solid roof, 100% pre-fabricated, no on-site cutting
Fire tested — independently and fully fire tested

Best for — if you want the conservatory to read as a proper extension to the house, not a separate "garden room." Particularly suits older homes or properties in conservation areas.

FLAT ROOF EXTENSION

ULTRAFRAME FLATROOF

The contemporary statement.

Clean modern lines, big spans, flat skylights or pitched lanterns.

If you're building a contemporary extension — or replacing an outdated conservatory with something architecturally modern — Flatroof is the system. Pair it with flat skylights for the minimal look, or a pitched lantern for a more traditional bit of grandeur. Big unsupported spans, so bifolds and sliders open right up underneath

Warmest — 225mm of insulation, vapour control layer, fully insulated ring beam & integrated kerb
Easiest — one roof, one order; specify deck, kerb and roof lights together
Strongest — unsupported spans up to 5.6m, ideal for wide bifolds or sliding doors
Customisable — unlimited widths, any roof membrane, four fascia designs and two soffit sizes

Best for — modern extensions, architect-designed projects, or anywhere you want big bifolds opening onto the garden with a clean horizontal roofline above.

WHY ULTRAFRAME

Why every roof we install is Ultraframe

Roof manufacturers can cut corners in places you can't see - the parts that go wrong 5 years in. Ultraframe doesn't. Here's whats different about them.
