6 tell-tale signs that you need to think about a conservatory roof replacement

Replacing your conservatory’s roof might seem like one of the most daunting home improvement tasks on the surface, but in actual fact needn’t be. We here at Evaroof know this from years of helping Welsh homeowners make the most of their living spaces, but how are you meant to know when the time is right? Here are 6 tell-tale signs that you need to think about a conservatory roof replacement.

1. Damaged roof tiles

Perhaps the most obvious tell-tale sign that your conservatory’s roof needs replacing is the visual depredation which can appear over time. If you spot that some of your roofs tiles or shingles are damaged, corroding, or even missing entirely, it won’t be long before poor insulation levels soon start setting in. Should unwanted moisture start to enter your conservatory, those who use it could experience health problems.

2. Moss and algae growth appearing

What might at first appear to be dark streaks on your conservatory’s roof could in fact be something a deadlier with closer inspection. While the eyesore that is algae build-up can easily be removed with some bleach, water, and some good old fashion elbow grease, moss can cause damage to your roof’s tiles and cause them to deteriorate. Removing moss can be done, but the ideal goal would be to prevent this from occurring with frequent roof health checks.

3. Excessive leaking

Here’s one that’s hard to miss. Nobody wants to wake up in the morning to find that their conservatory floor is damp, wet, or even worse, flooded. What looks like it could be a result of condensation build-up could soon turn out to be a leaky roof, and if so, it’s highly recommended to get this fixed as soon as possible. Should this fail, a conservatory roof replacement is the way to go.

4. Your roof is 15+ years old

Contrary to what optimists might believe, conservatory roofs – much like home improvements in general – don’t last forever. Because of this, we at Evaroof would recommend considering a replacement every 15 to 20 years, being roughly the amount of time before some of the problems we’ve already highlighted start to set in.

5. Frequent draughts and cold spots

Sometimes the most annoying of conservatory roof problems can be the ones you don’t see. If you find yourself struggling to get comfortable when trying to relax in the space, either due to cold spots or draughts, it’s highly likely that a poorly fitted or poor performing roof could be the problem. Should you opt for a replacement that’s installed to be airtight, this is issue could be a thing of the past.

6. Noise pollution

While dining areas and home offices are a popular use for conservatories, the most common reason for having one installed is to relax and enjoy a bit of piece. This can be especially difficult for those who reside in busy built-up areas, however, with the constant rush of traffic and outside chatter being annoying for those with poor insulation. A new roof replacement can help combat this issue, blocking out noise to such a degree that tranquillity can be implemented.
