Yes! All glazing we fit is A-Rated for energy efficiency. We only use the very highest performing glass and uPVC profiles.
Yes! Our roofs are fully guaranteed against manufacturing defects for 10 years.
Many councils now require planning permission. Beware of glazing companies who say you don’t need it. We’ve spoken to a LOT of people who were told they didn’t need any permissions when their roof was built. When they apply for retrospective permission the roof they had fitted does not meet current regulations and they cannot sell their homes until it’s been rebuilt to current guidelines.
Speedroof will ALWAYS make sure that any roof we sell or fit through our partner installers meets the correct guidelines.
As the roof will no longer be transparent there will be some light loss though the room will not be dark in any way as it’s likely to be surrounded by glass windows on three sides. To let additional light in you can opt for opening skylights to be installed in the roof. These both increase light transmission into the room and allow for additional ventilation.
The Speedroof system incorporates proper ventilation into its design so there will be no question of a build up of condensation.
The differences can be huge. Many polycarbonate roofs, especially older types can have U-Values of around 1.15w/M2K. Our system will bring this down to around 0.15w.M2K, only slightly higher than that of a traditional tiled roof and well within the range where you probably notice the room being any colder or warmer than any other room in your house.
It depends whether it’s strong enough. If it’s made from single chamber supports we’ll replace it with stronger duel chamber supports but if it’s a newer design it’s probably already strong enough and we’ll build on top of that.
Most conservatories are built to be strong enough to support a glass roof should the customer choose that over polycarbonate. Our new roof is actually lighter in weight that a standard glass roof (which is surprisingly heavy).
A standard sized conservatory will take around three days from start to finish
No. We measure your roof, discuss the various design options such as tile colour, fascia, soffit and guttering and then build the roof. We have specialist partner companies who can do the installation work for you. Of course you are free to find your own installation company if you prefer. We will deliver the roof to your home either way.
