CONSERVATORY BEXLEYHEATH INSTALLATIONS

At Transforming Conservatories, we offer a range of Conservatory designs to choose from. Conservatories and orangeries are perfect for adding living space to a family home. They are a home improvement that improves curb appeal and, when energy-efficient, will add significant value to a property.

Bexleyheath is a town in south-east London, in the London Borough of Bexley. It is just 12 miles south-east of Charing Cross, so it is a perfect location for those working in central London.

For most of its history, Bexleyheath was heathland. The Romans built a road through the heath, Watling Street, to connect London to Dover. This Roman road still marks the divide of Bexley’s new town.

Bexleyheath is generally considered an excellent place to live, with good transport links and a range of amenities. The town has crime rates lower than the national average.

Bexleyheath is a desirable area, known for exclusive properties and prestigious addresses. The extensive gardens, a feature of many Bexleyheath homes, are perfect for a conservatory or orangery.

We offer conservatories of various styles to suit all budgets and preferences. Below are some popular styles among Bexleyheath homeowners.

A Victorian conservatory is an excellent option for Victorian-period homes. With pitched roofs, bay fronts, and intricate decor, these conservatories are a classic, elegant option, perfect for period properties.

For those who want the elegance of a classic conservatory without the elaborate detailing of a Victorian conservatory, an Edwardian conservatory is a popular alternative. This design offers an elegant and balanced look, with a more symmetrical shape than Victorian conservatories.

A lean-to-conservatory is a practical choice if you don’t want to give up too much garden space. Lean-tos are connected to an existing wall of the house. The narrow design provides extra indoor space without taking up much garden. It is also a more affordable choice than other designs.

If you’re a homeowner looking for a large and elegant conservatory, then a P-shape design might be perfect. This type of conservatory blends the features of a lean-to-conservatory with the classic beauty of a Victorian or Edwardian conservatory, resulting in a spacious and stunning addition to your house. One of the best things about this design is that it has a shape you can divide into two different living areas if required.

Consider an orangery extension to add style and functionality to your home. These large extensions have a sturdy base, providing a solid foundation, while their glass roof or skylights allow natural light to fill the room, creating a bright atmosphere. An orangery blurs the lines between the home and garden, bringing the outdoors in.

A custom-designed conservatory is the perfect solution if you have a specific design in mind that is not available among the existing styles. Custom-made to your specs, a bespoke conservatory guarantees you get your desired extension.

In the 1980s, property prices soared in many parts of the UK. This led to massive financial expense if a family required a bigger home, so many turned to extensions to increase the floor and storage space available. The cost of an extension was minor compared to moving house, and furthermore, added value to the home.

But since the 1980s, many things have changed, including the need for eco-friendly, thermally efficient buildings. Furthermore, when conservatories became fashionable again in the 1970s, after losing popularity during the war and post-war years, homeowners would often use them as occasional rooms. However, these days, if we have living space, we ideally want it to be comfortable all year round, and a retro 1980s conservatory will not fulfil today’s homeowner’s needs.

If you are a Bexleyheath homeowner with a conservatory built during the 1980s or 1990s, chances are the roof is made from polycarbonate or another similar inexpensive material. If that is the case, you are in the right place, as it is time to bring your roof up to date. An older conservatory roof will not be energy efficient, look good, or last much longer. So, if your conservatory seems a little worse for wear, consider a tiled conservatory roof replacement.

Transforming Conservatories is a family-run business that provides Bexleyheath homeowners with new conservatories, or solid conservatory roof replacements. We have transformed conservatories across the southeast for almost 30 years. Our experienced team does not consist of general builders but specialists in conservatories and roofing. We are well known for our high standard of workmanship, which we always complete as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Depending on the type of conservatory and the year it was built, it’s likely to have a polycarbonate roof. If it is an Edwardian or Victorian conservatory, it could still have the original glass panels. A glass conservatory roof lets in plenty of natural light but has a greenhouse effect, making the structure too cold if there is no sunshine and way too warm for comfort on hot sunny days. Glass is not an effective insulator and lets heat out, apart from conversely, on hot days, when it traps heat inside, The solution is to swap the roof for one that offers insulation.

Replacing the roof of a conservatory with a solid roof is a wonderful way to turn your conservatory into a functional space that you can enjoy year-round. A solid tiled roof gives you an extra room that truly becomes a part of your home. Replacing an older glass or polycarbonate roof with an alternative solid roof is a terrific way to enhance thermal efficiency and the look of your conservatory without starting over.

Some homeowners don’t want the expense of replacing an old conservatory roof with a modern tiled roof system, but a new insulated version will save money on bills in the long run. It will also transform the appearance of the conservatory and how you use this precious living space.

Your tired polycarbonate or glass system can easily be upgraded to one of our award-winning solid roof options, transforming an old, little-used space into a heat-efficient, attractive, light-filled extension. Furthermore, if you want to sell soon, a dilapidated conservatory with an old or damaged glass roof will not be a good selling point for potential buyers. Most people know that glass-roofed conservatories are impractical unless temperatures are moderate.

We can include skylights and glass roof windows in a solid roof to maximise natural light, using low-E glass that can help reduce energy bills.

This is a good question. On older conservatories with polycarbonate or glass roofs, wind loads are lessened by the roof chassis structure. In many older conservatories, a tie bar was used to decrease wind loads to prevent the danger of collapse. Snow was of little concern to conservatory builders, as because of the typical heat loss through the roof, snow would melt and slide off quickly.

However, a solid roof is well insulated, so snow loading is more of an issue because it’s doubtful it will melt and therefore it stays on the roof until temperatures rise.

In recognition of this issue and the extra weight of a new roof, our experts will study the existing structure thoroughly to investigate its stability and make sure it is entirely safe and suitable for its purpose, no matter what the unpredictable UK weather decides to throw at us.

Most older conservatories will withstand a roof replacement, and once we are sure your conservatory is structurally sound and can sustain the weight of a new roof, work can begin. Our team will discuss the choices available regarding materials, colours, and design. You will also have the option of additional features such as guttering or venting.

Once we determine all details and specifications, we will arrange a date at your convenience to begin work.

Our goal is to transform your conservatory into a beautiful space you will enjoy all year round.

Our conservatory roofs are ideal for Bexleyheath homeowners who want to add a contemporary and practical spin on an outdated conservatory without building an entirely new build. An enduring solid conservatory roof replacement is the solution to an old, drafty, leaky conservatory. Available in a range of colours, the new roof can be matched to your property’s existing appearance, maintaining the character of the building.

A new conservatory bespoke roof is cost-effective and worth the initial investment. A modern roof will improve thermal performance and give you a relaxing space you can use all year round, just like the other rooms in your home. Unlike glass roof system panels, you can install ambient lights and music by fixing fittings and speakers to the ceiling.

Besides the comfort a solid conservatory roof delivers, the most prominent advantage of an updated roof is high-performance insulation. The room will be warm in the winter and cool in summer, so you won’t need to waste money trying to achieve an ambient temperature.
