An insulated panel roof fitted onto the existing frame brings it down to 328. Guide prices start at £3,000 for a small roof, fixed in writing after a free survey.

The hours you get back

A heater can rescue a chilly hour. Nothing cheap rescues a 31°C one. So the useful measure is how many waking hours stay at or under 25°C: in Trowbridge that is 3,776 a year under polycarbonate and 4,786 under an insulated panel roof, roughly 1,010 hours handed back.

The worst hours, above 30°C, fall from 592 to 40. A glass roof manages 741.

Winter in Trowbridge

Winter here bottoms out in January at an average of 4.2°C (coldest hour -5.2°C). Keeping 19°C while the room is in use costs about £407 a year in electricity under polycarbonate and £352 under the panel roof, 1,547 against 1,339 kWh.

We would not sell the roof on that difference alone. The glass walls keep losing heat either way; what changes most is that the room stops cooking in summer and a smaller heater copes in winter.

Do you cover towns near Trowbridge?

Yes. We fit across the West Country, including Frome, Devizes, Keynsham and Yate. Each has its own page with local weather numbers.

Will a panel roof make my Trowbridge conservatory warmer in winter?

Somewhat. The roof loses far less heat, so the heater you need on a freezing evening drops from about 1.7 kW to 1.1 kW, but the glass walls still lose heat, so plan on heating in the coldest months.
