Why a solid roof
It stops looking like a conservatory
From outside it reads as an extension. From inside it has a ceiling. That is the whole difference, and it changes how the room gets used.
A tiled finish that matches the house ties the room into the building rather than announcing itself. Inside, a plastered ceiling takes downlights, paint and anything else you would put on a normal ceiling.
It is the warmest and quietest roof we fit, and on a room you want to use as living space rather than a garden viewing platform, it is usually the right answer.
- Tile finishes to match the existing roof
- Fully plastered ceiling ready to decorate
- Downlights, fans and speakers can be built in
- Rooflights and lanterns available

Rain on a tiled roof sounds like rain on the house, because it is.
Matches the house
Tile finishes chosen against the existing roof rather than against a catalogue.
A ceiling you can use
Plastered and painted, with downlights and services built in.
Daylight if you want it
Rooflights and lanterns bring controlled light in without glazing the lot.

Worth knowing
Solid roof or warm roof?
The terms get used interchangeably, and there is a real difference worth understanding.
A warm roof generally means replacing an existing conservatory roof with an insulated one, working with the frames and base you already have. A solid roof describes the construction itself — insulated and tiled, whether it is new or a replacement.
In practice most replacement warm roofs are solid roofs. The distinction that matters is whether you are re-roofing what you have or building something new.
Other rooms
Which room is it going on?
Solid roofs suit some rooms better than others. Here is what each one is for.
Conservatories
The most glass for the money, and the quickest way to add a room. Modern roofs mean they work all year rather than just in spring.
Explore conservatories
Orangeries
Brick piers, a flat perimeter roof and a glazed lantern over the middle. Reads as part of the house rather than bolted onto it.
Explore orangeries
Extensions
A full masonry room built to match the house — foundations, walls, roof, glazing and the making good afterwards.
Explore extensions
Garden Rooms
An insulated, solid-roofed room you can use in February. Somewhere between a conservatory and an extension, at a price to match.
Explore garden rooms
Sun Rooms
A light-filled room with a solid roof and glazing on the sides — the warmth of an extension with the daylight of a conservatory.
Explore sun rooms
Verandas
A glazed roof over a terrace or decking. Shelter without enclosing anything, so you use the garden for more of the year.
