Time to Reclaim your Conservatory for Year-Round Comfort

It happens every year, doesn’t it? One minute we’re shading the conservatory from the summer sun, the next we’re reaching for a jumper.

After a few mild weeks, there’s that first crisp morning when you realise autumn’s properly here — and that familiar thought creeps back in: “We really should do something about the conservatory.”

If you’ve spent another summer keeping the doors shut because it was sweltering, and now you’re bracing yourself for it to turn icy, you’re not alone.

The good news is, you don’t have to keep putting up with it.

Why Conservatories Feel Too Hot or Too Cold

Most older conservatories were built with lightweight glass or polycarbonate roofs that offered little insulation. They magnify the sun’s heat in summer, then lose it just as fast once the temperature drops.

Add in older window frames or thin glazing, and it’s easy to see why so many people end up using the space only a few weeks each year.

At 2Hot2Cold, we specialise in transforming those problem rooms into comfortable, usable spaces all year round.

The Difference a Modern Roof Makes

Replacing your old roof with a LEKA Warm Roof is the single most effective way to stabilise the temperature inside your conservatory.

These roofs are fully insulated, Building Control approved, and can reduce heat loss by up to 90% compared with older designs.

They’re not just practical — they look amazing too. You can choose from plastered or UPVC ceilings, add downlights or skylights, and finish the outside in Tapco Slate in a range of colours to match your home.

While You’re at It…

If you’re already replacing the roof, it’s the ideal moment to look at the wall frames, glazing and doors beneath it.

Many of our customers decide to switch from old sliding doors to sleek bi-folds or French doors, or replace patterned glass with clear panes for a brighter, modern feel.

And if your conservatory floor sits lower than the rest of your home, we can even raise and insulate it, so the space finally feels like part of your living area — not an afterthought.

Designed for the British Seasons

A 2Hot2Cold conversion doesn’t just tackle temperature swings.

It reduces noise from rain and wind, cuts glare, improves energy efficiency, and adds real value to your home.

In short, it lets you use the space exactly as you want — whether that’s a cosy dining room, a light-filled lounge, or a quiet retreat overlooking the garden.

Make This the Last Year You Say “Too Hot” or “Too Cold”

As the weather turns, now’s the perfect time to plan your upgrade so everything’s complete before the depths of winter — or ready to enjoy as spring returns.

Let’s make your conservatory the most comfortable room in the house.
