Plymouth's trusted conservatory roof replacement company

Southside Better Roofs is a family-run conservatory roof replacement specialist based on Southside Street in Plymouth's historic Barbican. For over 15 years we've been transforming tired, unusable conservatories across the city — from Victorian terraces in Stoke and Mutley to 1990s estate homes in Plympton, Plymstock and Ivybridge.

Most Plymouth conservatories were fitted in the late 1990s and early 2000s with glass or polycarbonate roofs. Twenty-plus years on, the seals have failed, the polycarbonate has yellowed, and the room is unbearably hot in July, freezing in January, and dripping with condensation in between. The South West's mild but very wet, salty coastal weather accelerates the problem — which is why a properly designed warm roof system is the right answer for homes in this region rather than another glass replacement.

We cover every PL postcode (PL1 through PL9), the South Hams, and across the Tamar into East Cornwall including Saltash, Torpoint and Liskeard. Every roof is fitted by our own employed crew — never subcontracted — and signed off under building regulations on completion.

The Complete Conservatory Roof Replacement Solution

At Southside Better Roofs, we replace outdated conservatory roofs with modern, insulated systems designed for long-term performance and comfort in the South West climate.

  • Removal of old glass or polycarbonate roofs
  • Installation of a fully insulated warm roof system
  • Lightweight tiled roof finishes
  • Optional skylights for natural light
  • Internal plastered ceiling finish

The result is a conservatory that feels and performs like a true extension of your home — ready to use 365 days a year.

What is a conservatory roof replacement?

A conservatory roof replacement is the process of removing an old glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof and fitting a modern, fully insulated lightweight tiled roof in its place. The new roof keeps the conservatory warm in winter, cool in summer, watertight, and quiet in the rain — turning it into a true year-round room.

Who is a new conservatory roof for?

It's ideal for any Plymouth homeowner whose conservatory is too hot in summer, too cold in winter, leaking, suffering from condensation, or simply unused for most of the year. If your conservatory was built before 2010, a roof upgrade will almost certainly transform how often you use the space.

How much does it cost in Plymouth?

All conservatory roof replacements start from £6,000 fully fitted, regardless of size or shape. Final cost depends on roof shape, number of skylights and the chosen tile finish. We provide free, no-obligation written quotes after a home survey.

Is Your Conservatory Too Hot, Too Cold or Leaking?

Many older Plymouth conservatories become difficult to use because of poor roofing systems. Common problems we fix every week include:

  • Overheating in summer
  • Cold temperatures in winter
  • Condensation and damp
  • Leaks during heavy rain
  • Noise from old roof panels

If you're experiencing any of these issues, your conservatory roof is the cause — and a replacement insulated roof will solve all of them at once.

Simon and the team installed a beautiful new warm roof and the difference is incredible — we now have a room we can use comfortably all year round. Highly recommend Southside Better Roofs."

Keith Jones

FAQ

Got questions?

Straight answers to the things people ask us most.

Conservatory roof replacement in Plymouth starts from £6,000 fully fitted. The same starting price applies whether you have a small lean-to, a Victorian, an Edwardian or a larger P-shape — final cost depends on size, shape and finish. We provide free, no-obligation written quotes after a home survey so you know the exact price before committing.
Yes — for the vast majority of Plymouth homeowners it's the single best upgrade you can make to a conservatory. A new insulated tiled roof eliminates overheating in summer, keeps the room warm in winter, stops leaks and condensation, reduces rain noise, lowers heating bills, and adds genuine living space and value to your home. Most customers tell us they use the room daily within a week of install.
Most conservatory roof replacements in Plymouth are completed in 2–4 days from start to finish. A small lean-to can be done in 2 days, while larger Victorian or P-shaped roofs typically take 3–4 days. Your conservatory remains watertight throughout, and we tidy up at the end of every day so your home stays usable.
Absolutely. We fit Velux-style skylights as standard on most installs, positioned to flood the room with daylight. You can choose anywhere from one to four roof windows depending on the conservatory size and aspect, so the space stays bright while gaining all the insulation benefits of a solid tiled roof.
In most cases no planning permission is needed — conservatory roof replacements usually fall under permitted development. Building regulations approval is required for the structural change, and we handle the full LABC notification and sign-off as part of every installation. You receive the completion certificate on handover.
Yes. We're based on Southside Street in Plymouth's Barbican and cover all PL1–PL9 postcodes, plus Plympton, Plymstock, Ivybridge, Saltash, Tavistock, Torpoint and the wider South Hams. We also work across South Devon and East Cornwall — anywhere within roughly an hour of Plymouth.
Every roof comes with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, meaning you're protected on the workmanship and materials even if anything ever happened to our business. The roof systems themselves carry manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years and have a working life of 40+ years.
Yes — in over 90% of cases the existing conservatory frame and base are perfectly suitable for a new lightweight insulated roof. We carry out a structural survey on every quote to confirm. If the frame needs reinforcing, we'll tell you upfront and include any work in the written quote.
