How Long Does It Take to Fit a Conservatory Roof?

If you are looking at ways to improve your conservatory, possibly looking at how to help make it a comfortable temperature year-round, you will likely have come across conservatory roof conversions. These are great ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home, but you will probably be wondering how long it will take to fit a new conservatory roof.

The truth is, it depends on the size and complexity of your roof, but typically it can take between a day to a week.

At Ecozenic, we have been helping homeowners improve their conservatories across the South Coast for over 20 years. Our priority is to help you make your conservatory comfortable so you can make the best use of it, no matter if that means a new roof or a completely new conservatory.

With 20 years of converting roofs, we are specialists at it. In this blog, we share the time frame for such a project so you can know how long it takes to fit a conservatory roof before making the decision.

Factors That Affect Installation Time

Before diving into the rough time frames of fitting a conservatory roof, we should point out there are a few factors that will affect it.

• Size and shape - larger or more intricate conservatories require more time.
• Structural preparations - repairs or reinforcements might be needed on the existing structure, which will extend the timeline.
• Material type - some roofing materials, such as tiles, will take longer to install.

A combination of these will determine how long your conservatory roof conversion will take.

How Long Do Different Types of Conservatory Roofs Take to Install?

There are four types of conservatory roofs that you can choose from. Each will have a slightly different installation process, meaning their time frame will be slightly different.

Tiled Roofs

Tiled roof installation will typically take between three to five days. This is because each tile will need to be placed on the roof. It requires precision and layering, which can’t be rushed.

The layering of the tiles can add a bit of extra weight to the structure, which means your conservatory frame might need reinforcement. This will also add time to the installation.

Flat Roofs

Flat roofs can be quicker than tiled roofs because there are fewer structural layers. This makes the installation simpler.

You can expect the installation of a flat roof to take between two to three days.

Eco-Shield Polycarbonate Conservatory Roofs

Eco-shield polycarbonate conservatory roof conversions are lightweight materials that allow plenty of natural light to flood your room.

Because they come in large panels and are lightweight, their installation is fairly straightforward. We will aim to get it done in one day, but where relevant, we are likely to advise being prepared for it to take between two to three days, depending on the size and complexity of your space.

Eco-Panels

Eco-panels are becoming popular for conservatory roof conversions because they offer enhanced thermal insulation.

They are also one of the quickest options to install because they are lightweight and use a modular design, which makes their installation easy.

If you choose this conservatory roof type, you can expect it to take just a day to install.

Planning Ahead

Like with anything, when planning a conservatory roof conversion, it is important to plan ahead.

As part of the consultation and quoting process, you will likely have a rough time frame for your installation. Once you have agreed to go ahead with the quote, be sure to clarify the timeline so you know what to expect when booking an installation time.

There are also a few steps you can take in preparation for the fitting to help ensure a smooth and efficient process.

• Clear the area - remove as much as possible from the conservatory.
• Ensure there is easy access - make sure the installation team can easily get through to your conservatory, both from the inside and outside.
