Conservatory Roofs in Dorset
Transform your conservatory into a more comfortable living space.
Give your conservatory a new lease of life with a carefully specified replacement or warm tiled roof from David Fennings 1969. Whether you are upgrading an older glass or polycarbonate roof or planning a new conservatory, we offer roofing solutions designed around your property, comfort and natural light.
Conservatory Roofs
Conservatory Roofs Designed for Everyday Comfort
An older conservatory roof can be a source of excessive heat, winter chill, glare and rain noise.
A thoughtfully designed roof upgrade can dramatically improve how the space feels and how often you use it. At David Fennings 1969, we assess your existing structure and help you explore solutions that suit the roof shape, intended use and appearance of your property.
From insulated tiled roofs to glazed and combination designs, our focus is on creating a practical, attractive finish rather than applying the same solution to every conservatory.

-
Insulation & Interior Finishes

Performance & Specification
Performance, Light & Structural Suitability
Roof performance must be assessed as a complete system, including insulation, ventilation, structure, waterproofing, glazing and roof-to-house junctions. 15 W/m²K for selected warm roofs; this is a system-specific figure, not a guarantee for every project.
Not all existing conservatories can accept the additional roof load, and necessary structural checks and building-regulation requirements must be considered before a replacement is specified.

01258 459259Can I replace a glass conservatory roof with tiles?
Often, yes, provided the existing structure and supporting elements are suitable. We assess the building before recommending a roof system.
Will a warm tiled roof make the room too dark?
Not necessarily. Depending on the design, roof windows or glazed features may be incorporated to maintain natural light.
Can you keep my existing windows and doors?
In many projects the existing windows, doors and base can remain, but this depends on their condition and structural suitability.
Are warm roofs better for insulation?
A correctly specified insulated roof can improve thermal comfort compared with many older roof systems. Performance depends on the final design and construction.
What roof styles are available?
Options shown on the existing website include Victorian, Edwardian, gable-ended, lean-to, combination and orangery-style configurations.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Changing a conservatory roof can trigger building-regulation requirements. We can discuss the relevant assessments and approval route for your project.
Which warm roof systems do you use?
The existing website lists Leka, SOLid, Equinox and Guardian. We recommend a system based on project suitability rather than a single default.
Can you repair a leaking conservatory roof?
Yes. We assess leaks, seals, weatherproofing and related defects and advise whether a repair or roof replacement is the more sensible approach.
