Conservatory Roof Replacement Specialists in Modbury
Modbury is one of the prettiest market towns in the South Hams, and a town we work in regularly. We're based on Plymouth's Barbican, around 25 minutes away via the A379 — closer than many South Devon installers.
The housing across Modbury splits between old cottages on the main streets (often Grade II listed or sitting in the conservation area), 1980s/90s estate properties on the village edges, and larger detached family homes in the surrounding hamlets. We fit the LABC-approved SupaLite warm roof across all three — the tiles are colour-matched to your existing house roof so the new conservatory roof reads as part of the original build.
Why most older conservatory roofs stop working.
Almost every project we visit starts with the same set of complaints.
Too hot in summer
Glass and polycarbonate roofs trap solar heat and make the room unusable.
Too cold in winter
Poor insulation lets warmth escape and pushes up your heating bills.
Leaks & condensation
Aging seals and single-skin roofs let damp in and cause recurring leaks.
Loud during rain
Thin roof materials amplify noise so the room never feels settled.
Why Modbury Conservatories Fail
- Old cottage conservatories — bespoke shapes built against stone or cob walls. Lead flashing failures and water tracking down the wall are the main issues.
- 1980s/90s estate properties — brown polycarbonate roofs at 25+ years old, almost universally leaking, brittle and condensation-prone.
- Larger glass-roof conservatories — on the surrounding hamlet plots, the original temperature problems (boiling in summer, freezing in winter) drive most replacements.
- Rain noise — Modbury catches plenty of weather off the moor, and old conservatory roofs amplify every drop.

Why our warm roof outperforms a traditional conservatory.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you cover the whole of Modbury and the surrounding South Hams villages?+
Yes — Modbury itself plus Ermington, Ugborough, California Cross, Aveton Gifford and the surrounding hamlets along the A379 and A3121. Postcode PL21 0 sits roughly 25 minutes from our Plymouth Barbican workshop.
Modbury is a conservation area — does that complicate the work?+
Like-for-like conservatory roof replacement is almost always permitted development, even in a conservation area, and doesn't need planning permission. Building Regulations sign-off is required for the thermal change — we handle that with South Hams District Council on your behalf.
Our cottage has thick stone walls and irregular shapes — can you still fit a warm roof?+
Yes. A lot of the housing in and around Modbury is older cob, stone or granite-walled cottages with bespoke conservatories. We chase Code-4 lead flashing properly into stonework and detail the system to handle non-square openings — it's exactly the kind of work the SupaLite system was designed for.
How much does a warm roof cost in Modbury?+
Pricing matches our standard rates. All conservatory roof replacements start from £6,000 fully fitted, regardless of size or shape. Every quote is bespoke after a free home survey.
How long does the install take on a typical Modbury property?+
Typically 2–4 days. Many of the village conservatories are smaller lean-tos at the back of period cottages, which we usually turn around in 2–3 days. Larger estate-house P-shapes on the surrounding plots take 3–4 days.
Do you work in the wider South Hams from Modbury?+
Yes — see our dedicated pages for Kingsbridge, Yealmpton, Ivybridge and the rest of the South Hams. Modbury sits roughly in the middle of our regular South Hams route.
