Conservatory Roof Replacement Specialists in Sherford
Sherford is one of the fastest-growing communities in South Devon, and although the houses themselves are relatively new, the homeowner-added conservatories often suffer the same temperature, noise and condensation issues found on much older properties. We're based on Plymouth's Barbican — roughly 15 minutes from Sherford via the A379 — and we work the PL9 postcode regularly.
The houses across Sherford follow a tight design code with natural slate roofs and warm masonry. The composite tiles on our SupaLite warm roof system are a near-perfect match for that aesthetic, so a new tiled roof reads as a permanent part of the house rather than an obvious bolt-on. We bring samples to every survey so you can see exactly how the colour will sit against your existing slate.
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 Sherford Conservatories Get Replaced So Early
Most Sherford homes were sold without a conservatory; the extensions you see now have been added by homeowners afterwards, frequently with quick polycarbonate or glass roofs to keep cost down. The problems show up fast:
- Summer heat — south-facing plots get unusable conservatories from June to September. See our too-hot-in-summer page.
- Winter cold — single-glazed and polycarbonate roofs lose heat constantly. Covered on our too-cold-in-winter page.
- Rain noise — Sherford's open positioning catches plenty of weather off the moor and the coast.
- Condensation — on cold mornings the polycarbonate streams. See our condensation guide.
- Look — translucent roofs clash with the rest of Sherford's slate-and-stone aesthetic.

Why our warm roof outperforms a traditional conservatory.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you cover the whole of Sherford?+
Yes — every phase of the Sherford new town development, from the original first phase off Haye Road through to the newer parcels closer to Stanborough Road and the Sherford Country Park. Postcode PL9 8 sits roughly 15 minutes from our Barbican workshop, just off the A379.
My Sherford home is only a few years old — why would the conservatory roof need replacing already?+
Most Sherford properties were sold without conservatories — these have been added by homeowners afterwards, often as quick polycarbonate or glass-roofed builds. Even on a 2–5 year old extension, the lifestyle problems (too hot in summer, too cold in winter, rain noise, condensation) are usually present from day one. A warm roof solves them without changing the frame or windows.
How much does a warm roof cost in Sherford?+
Pricing matches our standard rates. All conservatory roof replacements start from £6,000 fully fitted, regardless of size or shape. Final cost depends on the conservatory shape, tile choice, number of skylights and any internal finishing. Every quote is bespoke after a free home survey.
Will the new roof match the slate look of Sherford's housing?+
Yes — the Tapco composite slate tiles we fit are an extremely close match for the natural slate aesthetic used across Sherford. We bring samples to the survey so you can see the colour and texture against your existing roof before committing.
Do I need planning permission in Sherford?+
Replacing a like-for-like conservatory roof is almost always permitted development and doesn't need planning. Building Regulations sign-off is still required — we handle that through South Hams District Council on your behalf. If Sherford's design code applies to your specific plot we'll flag it during the survey.
How long does the install take?+
Typically 2–3 days for the Edwardian and lean-to shapes most common in Sherford. One dedicated crew works continuously and your home stays watertight every night.
Do you work in nearby parts of the South Hams from Sherford?+
Yes — see our pages for Plymstock, Yealmpton, Modbury and Kingsbridge. The A379 corridor through to the South Hams is one of our most regularly travelled routes.
