Conservatory roof conversion

Guardian did our conservatory with BC regs included. Our conservatory is roughly 9m x 3m with pitched roof. We had a double glazed roof originally, built in 2009. We had this replaced with the insulated roof and metal tiles, excellent job. Just under 14k.
We had quotes for around the 18 to 20k mark, but they wanted to replace the whole roof when there was no need. Your quote doesn't seem to far off the mark. We had 12 led lights fitted on a dimming switch.0 -

I've just had the glass pitched roof replaced on a 14' x 10' conservatory and that was £8.5k. I'd had other quotes, using exactly the same roofing system, of over £15k so shopping around is essential. The guy I used is a small business and had done the same job previously for friends so we were aware of the quality of the work. New roof complies with building regs etc and was a complete roof replacement i.e. all rafters etc removed. It's 'Guardian Roof' and all the construction info regarding the roof is on the website.Is your existing roof pent or pitched?

Having just had my conservatory demolished I was surprised at how pitiful the "foundations" were!

It's not just the founds that can be an issue. Some of the framing used for sidewalls on conservatories is flimsy af.0
