Five reasons you should invest in a solid conservatory roof

If you’re thinking of investing in a conservatory for your home – or you’re looking to improve your existing extension to enjoy the benefits all year long – then it’s time to take a closer look at your roofing options.

Glass, polycarbonate and solid conservatory roofs

So, what’s the problem with glass? While it lets plenty of sunlight into your space, it’s also known to lose heat quickly – and sun glare is an added frustration. Both glass and UPVC panels can suffer from a build up of condensation due to poor ventilation, and they don’t do much in terms of noise reduction either.

UPVC and glass roofs might seem like the more affordable option in the short term, but they can cost you hundreds in energy bills later down the line – or leave your conservatory too chilly to really enjoy during the colder months.

Solid conservatory roofs are the solution. Eliminating these factors and offering an attractive finish to your conservatory, a solid tiled roof is the right investment for your home. Here’s why.

#1 Investing will help you save on energy bills

A solid conservatory roof goes a long way in reducing your energy bills. Many people often leave their conservatories relatively untouched for huge chunks of the year – simply because it costs too much to heat!

At Roofline Design, we build tailor-made conservatory roofs to maximise heat retention through the colder months and regulate the heat during the summer, helping you to save money all year round. Longer term, the cost of installing a solid tiled roof could pay for itself (and then some!) with what you can save on heating bills.

#2 Enjoy your conservatory, whatever the weather

Upgrade your conservatory with a solid tiled roof, and never again will it be off-limits on a blistering summer’s day! Now that your conservatory can better regulate heat, you can enjoy this open and welcoming space all year round. Better ventilation also means it’s safe to install blinds, so you can deal with that pesky sun glare and enjoy a little more privacy whenever you need it.

#3 A quieter conservatory experience

Most people who own conservatories already are all too familiar with how noisy they can be when the rain is really coming down – but with a solid conservatory roof, you can enjoy the peace and quiet. Transform your conservatory into a cosy haven and listen to the muted rain outside as you nestle in with a good book.

#4 Help to keep your home secure

Sad but true, many burglars try their luck by breaking into homes through the conservatory. That’s why it’s so vital to ensure that the doors leading from the conservatory into your home are kept locked and windows shut during the night and when you’re out during the day.

But there’s another security risk with panelled conservatory roofs that a solid tiled roof eliminates. The cheap and popular UPVC panels often used for conservatory roofs are easier to prise off, while a solid roof means no point of entry.

#5 Add value to your property

Often more affordable and practical than a full extension, conservatories are a great way to increase space and improve the overall appearance of your home. With a custom-built solid tiled roof from Roofline Design, you can ensure that your conservatory matches the overall aesthetic of your home and can add value to your property.

The Hidden Cost of Ignoring a Damaged Roofline

Roofline damage gets expensive fast — here’s how to stop it early.

 

Your roofline — the fascia, soffits, and gutters — might not be the first thing you notice on your home, but it quietly protects everything beneath it. When it starts to fail, the damage can spread quickly and cost far more to fix later.
This article explains what can happen when roofline issues are left untreated, how to spot early warning signs, and why replacing damaged fascia’s, soffits, and gutters can save you thousands in the long run.

1. Water Damage and Damp

Leaking gutters or rotten fascia don’t just look bad — they let water in where it shouldn’t go. Once rainwater seeps behind the roofline, it can cause:

  • Damp patches on walls and ceilings
  • Peeling paint or wallpaper
  • Mould and musty smells
  • Rotting roof timbers

Left long enough, this can lead to expensive damp-proofing or timber treatment work, often costing several thousand pounds.

A properly fitted uPVC roofline system stops water damage before it starts and requires little to no maintenance.

2. Pests and Birds Finding a Way In

Cracked soffits or loose fascia boards create perfect entry points for unwanted guests. Birds, wasps, and even rodents often make nests in small gaps around the eaves. Once inside, they can damage insulation, wiring, and cause hygiene problems.

Keeping your roofline sealed and secure prevents these issues and avoids future pest control costs.

3. Brickwork and Foundation Damage

If your gutters are overflowing or misaligned, rainwater can run down your brickwork or collect near your home’s base. Over time, this constant moisture leads to:

  • Crumbling mortar joints
  • Erosion around foundations
  • Rising damp problems

Replacing damaged gutters ensures water drains safely away from your home — protecting your walls, roof, and foundation in one go.

4. Roof Timber Rot

When the fascia and soffit fail, moisture creeps into the roof rafters. Rotten timber is one of the most expensive roof repairs a homeowner can face.

Timely fascia and soffit replacement not only prevents this but also strengthens the edge of your roof, keeping tiles secure and water out.

5. Lower Property Value

A tired, sagging roofline can make even a well-kept home look neglected. Buyers often see it as a red flag for bigger maintenance issues.

Installing new uPVC fascias, soffits, and gutters instantly refreshes your home’s look, improves kerb appeal, and reassures potential buyers that the property has been well maintained.

6. The Real Cost of Ignoring It

Many homeowners delay roofline work, thinking it’s just a cosmetic upgrade. In reality, ignoring small issues can multiply the cost later.

Problem

Ignored Cost

Preventative Cost (Property Dependent)

Leaking gutter

£1,000–£3,000 in damp repairs

£400–£800 for gutter replacement

Rotten fascia
