Conservatory roof replacement, before and after
Every photo here is a real conservatory roof replacement by our fitters: the tired polycarbonate and glass roofs as we found them, the fitting day, and the finished insulated panel roofs inside and out. Tap any photo to see it large.
Before: the roofs people had
Algae has crept across every sheet of this lean-to.
A split sheet lets rain and cold air straight in.
Leaves collect in the flutes and never wash out.
From inside, the grime shows as a grey film.
Stains trapped inside the sheets cannot be cleaned.
Twenty summers have turned this roof yellow.
Once the seal goes, water gets into the flutes.
Lovely in April, unbearable by July.
A glass roof lets in every bit of the midday sun.
Grime builds in the ribs where rain cannot reach.
Moss spots show through from the outside face.
A blocked gutter keeps the bottom of the roof wet.
A ceiling fan only stirs the hot air about.
Ribbed sheets drum loudly in heavy rain.
A rosewood frame under a tired polycarbonate roof.
A Victorian bay roof before the swap.
The cresting survives; the sheets below have had it.
A glass Victorian roof on a stone built house.
A low glass lean-to on the back of a bungalow.
Glass roofs need a ladder and a bucket every spring.
