Your questions answered about Guardian roof installation

Pre-2010, the only option for a conservatory roof was glass or polycarbonate. For anyone who has a conservatory, you'll know this can make it tricky to enjoy an ambient temperature in this room year-round.

What are the benefits of a Guardian roof

Guardian roofs are lightweight but tiled. This means they can be fitted on any existing conservatory frame once the old roof is removed and they help to maintain a more consistent temperature.

What are Guardian roofs made from?

Guardian roofs are high-performance insulated roof systems made of a lightweight frame, two layers of rigid insulation board, internal insulated plasterboard, exterior grade plywood, and a vapour membrane.

This combination creates a thermally efficient space, using less energy to maintain an ambient temperature, therefore reducing energy bills.

What are the building regulations for a Guardian roof?

In 2013, the Local Area Building Control (LABC) released a set of rules that must be followed for the installation of a solid roof on a conservatory:

• Structural conditions. The building must be structurally sound and any alterations that affect the original structure must be carefully considered. This involves checking the foundations and window framework to ensure they're suitable for increased loading. And proving the new roof structure is sound

• Thermal regulations. The new roof must comply with Part L of building regulations. This means the overall U value (thermal measurement) of the new roof must comply with current building regulations (currently 0.18)

Do you need planning permissions for a Guardian warm roof?

Planning permission is not required for a Guardian roof as long as it meets certain criteria. This relates to the ground area covered by the extension and any other buildings within the boundary of the property, excluding the original house. It cannot be more than half of the total area of the property.

How much does a Guardian roof cost?

Depending on the size of the roof and the scope of the work, expect to pay in the region of £7,000 - £12,000. We recommend getting at least three quotes to compare.

Will a Guardian roof suit my home?
