Conservatory roof replacement in Woking

Two years of Woking weather say a polycarbonate conservatory runs above 25°C for 1,476 waking hours a year, the 8th highest of the 104 towns we model. An insulated panel roof fitted onto the existing frame brings it down to 449. Guide prices start at £3,000 for a small roof, fixed in writing after a free survey.

What Woking weather does to a conservatory

Each square below is the average room temperature for one hour of one month, worked out from every hour of 2024 and 2025 at Woking's coordinates. Switch between roofs to see the afternoon block of amber and plum shrink. Outside, July averaged 18.6°C and the warmest hour reached 32.7°C; inside a shut polycarbonate room the model's hottest hour was 49°C.

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 Woking that is 3,637 a year under polycarbonate and 4,665 under an insulated panel roof, roughly 1,028 hours handed back.

The worst hours, above 30°C, fall from 695 to 70. A glass roof manages 871.

When the heat peaks in Woking

June is the problem month here: 54% of its waking hours top 28°C under polycarbonate, 13% under panels. Spring and early autumn matter too, when the sun is still strong but nobody expects to open the doors.

Winter in Woking

Winter here bottoms out in January at an average of 4.5°C (coldest hour -5.2°C). Keeping 19°C while the room is in use costs about £386 a year in electricity under polycarbonate and £333 under the panel roof, 1,467 against 1,264 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.

Questions people ask

How hot does a conservatory get in Woking?

In our model a south facing polycarbonate conservatory in Woking averages 34°C at 3pm in July and peaked at 49°C over 2024 and 2025. With an insulated panel roof the July 3pm average is 26°C.

What does a new conservatory roof cost in Woking?

Do you cover towns near Woking?

Yes. We fit across the Thames Valley and Surrey, including Guildford, Twickenham, Kingston upon Thames and Hounslow. Each has its own page with local weather numbers.

Will a panel roof make my Woking 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.
