Do You Need a Conservatory or an Extra Room?
No doubt, a conservatory is a lovely place to sit when the weather is right for it. Nowadays, few people have the luxury of keeping a room with such limited use.
Our homes must work harder, and every room needs to pull its weight. That’s where a new solid roof comes in. Whether you are replacing a polycarbonate roof or a glass one, your new tiled roof will give you a room that can be used for any purpose at any time of the day. You could even put a sofa bed in, in case you need to accommodate extra guests.
The tiled conservatory roof is available for new conservatories and replacement on existing conservatories.

A Conservatory Roof Built on Strength and Precision
Every tiled conservatory roof we install is built around a high-performance, lightweight timber framework. The structure forms a secure link from eaves to ridge, creating a stable and reliable base for your new roof.
Designed specifically for conservatory roof replacement projects, the system delivers strength without unnecessary weight, helping your space feel solid, comfortable and usable all year round.
Engineered Structural Support
At the core of the design is a purpose-engineered Glulam eaves beam. This specially manufactured beam provides exceptional strength and long-term durability while supporting the full roof structure.
The result is a robust framework that performs consistently and stands the test of time.
Secure Integration with Your Existing Frames
The roof structure is fixed directly to the head of your existing window frames to ensure a secure, integrated fit.
Externally, the installation is completed with neatly fitted fascia boards and an ogee gutter system, giving a clean, finished appearance that complements your home.
Factory-Built for Accuracy
Each roof pod is pre-assembled using roofing-grade timber in controlled conditions.
All structural calculations are completed by specialist engineers before manufacture. This ensures precise measurements, accurate fabrication and a smooth installation on site.
Reinforced for Long-Term Performance
Every roof pod is strengthened with a plywood or OSB outer skin to increase rigidity and overall structural integrity.
This additional reinforcement supports durability and helps maintain the roof’s performance for many years to come.
Warm Roof Design
Equinox use a highly effective system known in the trade as a ‘warm roof’ design. This means that they can use materials that don’t take up too much space but are highly effective in making your conservatory warmer.
On a warm summer’s night, it’s lovely to sit in a conservatory and see the stars and moon. It’s not so cosy in the winter when snow or ice covers the roof and the night sky is black. Almost everybody chooses to be in one of the warmer rooms. With a solid tiled roof, your conservatory can be used all year round in the day or the evening.
The Difference Between a Conservatory and an Extension
Of course, a conservatory is a type of extension, in that it is an additional space added to your house, extending the space. Traditionally we think of an extension as being brick-built with windows and doors that match the style of your house.
A conservatory is characterised by the amount of glass used in its construction. Planning laws used to be much more strict and it was much easier to erect a conservatory than an extension.
The legal definition of a conservatory was a building with 50% glass walls and 75% glass roof. This was important because you didn’t need planning permission for a small conservatory but did for an extension. Nowadays, with extensions allowed in permitted development rules, those criteria have become less important and it’s often price and convenience that determines the choice.
Fast Easy Conservatory Roof Conversion
Your conservatory roof conversion should be completed within a few days with minimum disruption to you. Every piece is precision-engineered for your conservatory, ready to be fitted by your installer. There’s no cement mixing or building mess for you to deal with. We will dispose of your old roof as part of our service. Your installation will not affect the flooring, furniture, or side blinds, although they may need to be removed for installation, depending on where they were installed.
Our tiled conservatory roof can incorporate roof lanterns, roof windows and fixed glazed panels to bring natural light back into the room. The design balances brightness with high levels of insulation and structural performance, so you enjoy a comfortable space throughout the year without compromising on durability.
How Heavy is a Tiled Conservatory Roof?
You could be forgiven for thinking that a tiled roof would be too heavy to sit on walls made of glass windows. Of course, a tiled roof that is made with the same tiles as a house roof would be too heavy.
The tiles used in a Warmer Roof conservatory are designed specifically for the job. They are constructed from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), a blend of limestone and polypropylene or a light gauge steel. This variety of materials enables us to offer a wider design choice so that you have the best chance of coordinating or matching existing tiles.
All of the materials used in conservatory roof construction are extremely light and designed for easy maintenance. The variety means that we can give you the look of riven slate and the sandstone texture of clay tiles. No more seeing dirt, leaves and bird mess on your roof. No more flies stuck in your blinds.
Will I Need Planning Permission to Change my Conservatory Roof?
A few years ago, you most certainly would have required planning permission to change your conservatory roof. The very nature of a solid tiled roof means that your conservatory no longer meets the 75% glass rule. However, Building Regulations rules have changed along with guidelines for permitted development. It is likely that if your conservatory was built under permitted development rights, you would equally have been allowed an extension under today’s rules.
