Conservatory roof

We though about 25 years ago about having a Conservatory, but my cousin who is an Architect said have a "Sunroom" basically a Conservatory with a soiled roof and more structural brickwork, at the time cost wise it was very similar.

So pleased we went down that route it's been all weather use. My next door neighbour now is having there Conservatory replaced to be similar to ours, as in the past couple of years it's been too hot to use.

My DD's house had on in situ when they bought it, but they too have had the Roof changed so it can be used most of the year for the children to use as a play room.

We decided to go down that route over ten years ago, and it was one of the best moves we made. It’s cooler in the summer (mind you, not by much this year as there’s still a lot of glass!) and warmer in the winter. It did make the dining room a bit darker, but it’s not been much of a downside. When we had it installed, we had people knocking on the door to ask about it, and suddenly they were appearing everywhere.

We decided not to go with the large national firms but found a reputable firm fairly local to us who were prepared to put us in touch with people who they had carried out installations for, one of whom invited us to see the finished article.

Our friend , an ex builder, did his own and recommends light tiles.
I’ll get a few quotes and find a reputable firm locally.

My friend has had hers done , it looks and feels very good.
I thought it would make the room darker but it doesn’t at all.

My DH has such a roof but has been told the structure below wouldn't support a tiled roof.

Gangster, we are in the same situation.
It is unbearable in hot weather!
I look forward to some sound advice .

My sister did it and now has a useable room
