One of the most common worries homeowners raise before booking a conservatory roof replacement is disruption. Will the house be a building site for weeks? Will the conservatory be unusable for the whole summer? The good news is that most installations are completed in three to five days, and here's a general idea of what that looks like in practice.
Before installation begins
Your roof is made to measure and manufactured off-site in a controlled factory environment before anything happens at your property. This means the bulk of the work, fitting panels precisely to your conservatory's exact dimensions, has already been done before our team arrives, which is a big part of why on-site time is kept so short.
What a three to five-day installation generally involves
- Removal: existing roof panels are carefully removed, and the structural frame is checked and prepared.
- Fitting: the new insulated roof structure is fitted, including any Velux windows or Solstice panels you've chosen.
- Finishing: tile finish is applied, and the interior ceiling is plastered or finished in timber.
- Completion: LED lighting is wired in if chosen, final checks are carried out, and the area is left clean and tidy.
Larger or more structurally complex conservatories, such as Victorian or P-shaped designs, may sit toward the longer end of that range. See how roof type can affect your timeline.
Minimising disruption to your home
Because the roof arrives pre-assembled, there's far less mess and noise on site compared to a traditional build. Most homeowners can continue using the rest of the house as normal throughout the installation, with only the conservatory itself out of use.
