TILED ROOF FAQ's
Thinking about a conservatory or upgrading your old one? You’re not alone. Homeowners across Essex are turning to tiled roof conservatories for year-round comfort, stunning design, and added property value.
At Softview, we take care of everything — from planning advice and building regulations to expert installation and aftercare.
PLANNING & REGULATIONS
Do I need planning permission for a tiled roof conservatory?
In many cases, conservatories are allowed under permitted development. But if you’re installing a solid tiled roof or your home is in a conservation area, planning permission may be needed.
Softview handles all checks and paperwork, so you don’t have to worry.
Will I need building regulations?
Yes — tiled conservatory roofs must meet current building regulations for insulation and structural integrity.
We provide all necessary calculations and certification as part of our service.
COST & PROPERTY VALUE
How much does a tiled roof conservatory cost?
Prices vary depending on size, roof style, and finishes. While tiled roofs are a premium upgrade, they deliver excellent value in comfort, style, and efficiency.
Softview offers honest pricing and tailored quotes — no pushy sales tactics.
Will it add value to my home?
Yes. A well-built conservatory with a solid roof can add usable space and improve your home’s resale appeal, especially when installed to a high standard — which is exactly what we deliver.
COMFORT & LIVEABILITY
Is a tiled roof conservatory warm in winter and cool in summer?
Absolutely. Tiled roofs come with built-in insulation, giving you a space you’ll enjoy all year round — whether it’s a home office, dining room, or relaxation zone.
Can I still get natural light with a tiled roof?
Yes — Softview offers rooflight and hybrid options, allowing you to combine the solid roof look with natural lighting where you want it.
DESIGN & OPTIONS
What colours and finishes are available?
We offer a wide range of tile colours, slate effects, and internal ceiling finishes to suit modern and traditional homes alike. You can even match your home’s roof tiles for a seamless look.
Can you upgrade my existing conservatory roof?
Yes. Softview specialises in retrofit tiled roof replacements, giving old conservatories a new lease on life — warmer, quieter, and more stylish.
We carry out full structural checks before work begins.
MAINTENANCE & AFTERCARE
Are tiled conservatories hard to maintain?
Not at all. Tiled roofs are low-maintenance and long-lasting. Just keep gutters clear and book occasional inspections for peace of mind.
What happens if I need help later on?
You’re in safe hands. Softview provides full guarantees and a dedicated aftercare team, so you’ll never be left chasing support.
