Conservatory Replacement.

mikebh50

We are in the process of trying to sort our conservatory out. we currently have a polycarbonate roof , we have been quoted £16500 to change the roof to an ultraframe tiled roof with 2 glass panels also all the windows and door. the price also includes plastering out all the internal walls and ceiling also electrics with 10 led spots. question is is that a reasonable price? conservatory is 3 m by 4 m.

its also south facing.

Thanks

Have you looked at the price of a proper extension?!

Hi
Yes unfortunately would be quite a bit more with new foundations etc plus the building work would also destroy the patio we have layed round the conservatory.

I wouldn't pay anything like that for a roof on a conservatory. Unless it's a proper extension, it isn't going to add the value that you spend back to the house.

The patio isn't a huge deal - it can be relaid. My concern would be about getting it right for the long term.

its not just the roof its all the windows & door plus plastering it all out and electrics.

Yes, I paid that for a glass roof to replace polycarbonate roof and new glass all around.Included a plastered pelmet with LED lights and an electric wall mounted heater and sockets.

An extension would leave my dining room very gloomy and we love the fantastic natural light in the conservatory which an extension would not provide. Horses for courses.

ours is off the lounge so with 2 full lengths glass panels in the roof it should allow plenty of light in.
