My Conservatory has a problem - where do I start?

2Hot2Cold doesn't undertake general conservatory roof repairs.

While some leaks are caused by minor issues such as slipped panels or ageing seals, many problems with older conservatory roofs are linked to overall wear, material fatigue, or outdated construction. In these cases, isolated repairs can be short-term and not always cost-effective.

Instead, we focus on long-term solutions. During a survey, we’ll assess the condition of your existing roof and advise whether a full replacement would provide better performance, durability, and peace of mind — particularly if the roof is approaching the end of its usable life.

Our role is to help you make an informed decision about the best way forward for your home, rather than offering temporary fixes.

​

Replacing your conservatory roof can significantly improve thermal efficiency, reduce glare, enhance aesthetic appeal, increase property value, and provide a more comfortable living space year-round.

Yes, our replacement roofs are designed to improve the thermal efficiency of your conservatory, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

We offer a range of roofs tailored to the shape, size, and incline of your conservatory, while considering your budget. Our options include LEKA Warm Roof systems, timber rafter roofs, fibreglass roofs for lean-to and flat designs, and insulated roof panels. Each option provides unique benefits such as improved thermal efficiency, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Our experts can help determine the best roof type based on your conservatory’s structure, insulation needs, and aesthetic preferences. Book a FREE SURVEY via this link, and we would be happy to provide free advice and a no-obligation quotation.

Absolutely! We offer a range of colours and styles to match your home’s aesthetic. Options include Tapco slate tiles in various colours, along with a choice of ceiling finishes.

​In some cases, yes — provided the work remains within the existing footprint of your conservatory.

Certain designs naturally lend themselves to adjustment. For example:

• A lean-to can sometimes be reworked into an Edwardian or 'hipped' style 
• Gable-fronted conservatories can occasionally be redesigned into Edwardian or a lean to 

Not every structure is suitable for every change, but there is often more flexibility than homeowners expect. We’ll assess this at survey stage and talk you through what’s structurally practical, visually balanced, and compliant.

​

If you’re looking to increase the footprint, we’re more likely to recommend replacing the conservatory with a LEKA Xi modular extension, rather than modifying the existing structure.

LEKA Xi is designed specifically for enlargements and new spaces. It offers excellent insulation, fast installation, and a solid, room-like feel — without the disruption, time, or upheaval of a traditional brick-built extension.

We’ll talk you through whether adapting your current conservatory or moving to a modular extension is the best long-term solution for your home, budget, and how you plan to use the space.

​

Yes — as part of a wider conservatory or extension project, we can replace windows and doors where required.

This commonly applies when:

• A conservatory roof is being upgraded and the existing frames are no longer suitable
• The layout is being improved to better suit year-round use
• A project involves a LEKA Warm Roof or LEKA Xi modular extension, where new frames help achieve the best performance and finish

We don’t operate as a standalone window and door replacement company, but when frames form part of a larger redesign, upgrade, or compliance requirement, our team will advise on suitable options and include them within the overall project.

At survey stage, we’ll confirm whether replacement is recommended, optional, or unnecessary — so you have a clear picture before moving forward.

If planning permission was obtained when your conservatory was erected, Building Control Certification may be required to acknowledge the ‘change,’ especially if the property is listed or in a conservation area. If your conservatory was exempt from planning permission, additional permissions might not be necessary. We can help guide you through this process.

Yes — and the process depends on the type of solution you choose.

For LEKA Warm Roof and LEKA Xi modular extension projects, we normally manage the Building Control process on your behalf. These systems are designed to meet current regulations, and we’ll take care of the registration, coordination, and certification as part of the project.

For more bespoke roof solutions — such as timber rafter roofs, fibreglass roofs, or specialist designs — Building Control applications are typically made through your local council. In these cases, our team will guide and support you with the paperwork, technical details, and required information to help the application run smoothly.

At survey stage, we’ll always explain what applies to your specific project and recommend the most appropriate route, ensuring everything is compliant, properly documented, and stress-free.

Removing the doors between your conservatory and the main house can be possible, but it must be approached carefully.

In some cases, door removal can trigger additional requirements such as a SAP (energy performance) assessment or specific Building Control conditions.

We’ll always advise you before any work begins and guide you through the safest, compliant way to proceed — including timing, documentation, and any additional approvals needed. Our priority is to make sure everything is done properly and without future complications.

The cost varies based on the roof type, size of the conservatory, and any additional features you choose. We offer free surveys to provide you with an accurate estimate for your specific needs.

We offer flexible payment options to suit your needs, including finance subject to status and approval.. Our team will provide detailed information on payment options during your consultation.

We periodically offer discounts and promotions. Please check our website or ask during your consultation for any current offers.

The installation time varies depending on the roof type, product and the size of your conservatory. As a guide, we construct approximately 5 square metres of tiled roof per day, so a 15 square metre tiled or fibreglass roof will take around 3 days. Insulated Roof panels are typically within 1 day.  Our team will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Yes, as an example our tiled conservatory roofs come with a 10 year peace of mind service guarantee, with a 10 year insurance backed warranty which is underwritten by The

Consumer Protection Association (membership no.2771) Specific guarantees can vary by product.

Our conservatory roofs require minimal maintenance. For tiled roofs, occasional cleaning to remove debris is recommended. Our team will provide specific maintenance tips based on the roof type you choose.
