If you’re unable to use your conservatory due to it being too hot in the summer, a solid roof will make your living space much more weather-resistant.

Weatherproof Windows & Doors can simply replace the roof in as little as 3 days, making your space much more thermally-efficient.
And with there being clear signs that the cooler weather is just around the corner, you’ll also be confident in using your conservatory or orangery all winter long too.
But before you get ahead of yourself, it’s important to note that there is a possibility that planning permission could be required ahead of the installation.
Don’t fret – Weatherproof Windows & Doors will organise the necessary planning permission if needed.
Everything you should know about planning permission and other requirements for a solid roof installation:
- You must obtain Building Regulations Approval when replacing a translucent conservatory roof with a solid roof.
- A “change of use” occurs when replacing a glass roof with a solid insulated roof. This is because a glass roof structure is considered a temporary structure, whereas a solid roof structure is classed as permanent. This could make obtaining planning permission necessary.
- When there is a “change of use”, your local Building Control Officer could order adjustments to the conservatory to account for ventilation via roof vents and trickle vents.
- There is a possibility that your conservatory will no longer be considered a “Permitted Development” and therefore planning permission will need to be applied for.
If you’re ready to transform your conservatory with a new solid roof, Weatherproof can eliminate the hassle of obtaining the appropriate planning permission yourself.
