Is It Time for a Conservatory Roof Upgrade? Top Warning Signs
A conservatory roof upgrade can transform your space, making it more energy-efficient, comfortable, and stylish. But how do you know when it’s time for a replacement?
At Conservatory Renovators, we specialise in high-performance conservatory roof replacements in Wokingham and surrounding areas. If your conservatory is too hot in summer, too cold in winter, or suffering from leaks, upgrading to a modern, insulated roof could be the perfect solution.
Key Warning Signs You Need a Conservatory Roof Upgrade
1. Your Conservatory is Too Hot or Too Cold
If your conservatory overheats in summer and feels like an icebox in winter, poor insulation could be the cause. Older polycarbonate or single-glazed glass roofs struggle to regulate temperature, making your conservatory uncomfortable for much of the year.
- Upgrade to a Leka warm roof for better insulation and year-round comfort
- Lower your energy bills with a thermally efficient replacement
2. You’re Seeing Leaks, Damp or Mould
Water damage is a major warning sign that your conservatory roof is failing. Common issues include:
- Leaks during heavy rain
- Damp patches or mould growth
- Condensation inside double-glazing panels
A new, weatherproof roof system can eliminate leaks and improve ventilation, keeping your conservatory fresh and dry.
3. Your Energy Bills Are Increasing
An old, inefficient conservatory roof lets heat escape, forcing you to use extra heating in winter. If you’ve noticed a rise in energy costs, your conservatory could be one of the biggest culprits.
- A modern solid roof can reduce heat loss by up to 80%
- U-values as low as 0.15 W/m²K for maximum thermal efficiency
4. Your Conservatory Roof is Discoloured or Damaged
Over time, polycarbonate and glass roofs can degrade, leaving your conservatory looking tired and outdated. Signs to look for include:
- Yellowing or clouded panels
- Cracks, warping, or sagging
- Guttering issues due to roof deterioration
Upgrading to a sleek, tiled, or solid Leka roof enhances both durability and aesthetics, adding value to your home.

✅ Lower Energy Costs: Reduce heat loss and improve efficiency
