Conservatory Roof Replacement for Cockerham homes
Plenty of homes in Cockerham gained a conservatory in the 1990s and 2000s, and many of those original polycarbonate roofs are now leaking, discoloured or simply too hot and cold to be comfortable. Cockerham sits close to Morecambe Bay, so roofs take wind-driven rain and salt air off the Irish Sea, which loosens ridges and verges and corrodes old nails, clips and flashings. A new glass or tiled roof keeps the frames you already have and makes the room usable again. We survey every conservatory first to make sure the frames and base are up to it.
Conservatories around the bay take a pounding from wind-driven rain and sea air, which is hard on old polycarbonate sheets and glazing-bar seals. A new glass or tiled roof, properly sealed and flashed to the house wall, fixes the leaks for good.
We offer two routes: a new glazed roof using modern solar-control, self-cleaning glass that transforms comfort while keeping the light, or a solid, insulated tiled roof that turns the conservatory into a proper room you can use all year. We will help you weigh up which suits your home, budget and how you want to use the space.

In most cases, yes. If the frames and base are sound and level, we only replace the roof. We check this at survey stage and will tell you if anything needs strengthening.
Glass or tiled — which is better?
Modern glass keeps the light and dramatically improves comfort compared with polycarbonate. A tiled roof gives the biggest gain in warmth and quiet, and turns the space into a year-round room. We are happy to talk through both.

Replacing the roof on an existing conservatory does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local council first and we can advise.
