Solid Conservatory Roof Replacement

Location: Poole, Dorset

Project Overview

Richard Thomas Conservatories, Extensions, Windows and Doors recently completed a remarkable transformation of an outdated conservatory in Poole, Dorset. By installing a state-of-the-art solid tiled roof system, along with brand-new PVC windows and doors, we were able to create a stylish and functional living space that the clients can now enjoy all year round.

Project Details

The original conservatory, while functional, was no longer meeting the clients’ needs. It suffered from issues common with older conservatories, such as temperature extremes, draughts, and insufficient insulation. Our solution was to modernise the space by replacing the old roof, windows, and doors with high-performance alternatives that combine aesthetic appeal with practicality.

Key Features of the Project

  • Solid Tiled Roof System: The centrepiece of the transformation is a stunning solid tiled roof, designed to deliver superior insulation and year-round usability. This roofing system provides a sleek, modern look that perfectly complements the existing property.
  • Four Electric Velux Windows: To maximise natural light and ventilation, we incorporated four electric Velux windows into the roof design. These windows can be opened at the touch of a button, making it easy for the clients to control airflow and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
  • Warm Plastered Ceiling Finish: The interior features a smooth, warm plastered finish, giving the space the feel of a true extension rather than a traditional conservatory. This creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere, ideal for relaxation or entertaining.
  • New PVC Windows and Doors: We replaced the outdated windows and doors with reinforced PVC options, offering improved energy efficiency, security, and low maintenance. The clean lines and contemporary design of these units enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the key challenges was ensuring the new roof and windows seamlessly integrated with the existing structure of the property. Our experienced team carefully planned the installation process, using precise measurements and advanced techniques to guarantee a flawless fit. The result is a conservatory that feels like a natural extension of the home.

Client Feedback

The clients were overjoyed with their newly transformed conservatory, praising the Richard Thomas team for their professionalism and attention to detail. They particularly appreciated the combination of style and functionality, noting that the space is now one of their favourite areas in the house.

Benefits of the Solid Conservatory Roof System

  1. Improved Insulation: The solid tiled roof significantly reduces heat loss in the winter and prevents overheating in the summer, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
  2. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: The modern design of the roof and PVC units adds value and style to the property.
  3. Energy Efficiency: With improved glazing and roof insulation, the new conservatory is more energy-efficient, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.
  4. Increased Usability: The addition of Velux windows and the warm plastered ceiling finish make the space versatile, suitable for use as a lounge, dining room, or home office.
