If you’ve ever stepped into your conservatory in December and felt like you’ve walked into a freezer, you’re not alone. Conservatories are notorious for being too cold in winter and too hot in summer.
But why does this happen? And more importantly, how can you fix it once and for all? Let’s look at the problems, the common fixes, and the smarter solution.
❄️ The Problem: Why Conservatories Get So Cold
-
Heat escapes through the roof - Up to 85% of a conservatory’s heat loss is through the roof. Glass or polycarbonate simply can’t retain warmth.
-
Poor insulation - Most conservatories were built with little to no thermal protection. Whatever heat you pump in disappears almost instantly.
-
Condensation - Cold surfaces + warm air = condensation, damp and unusable. The result? A room you can’t enjoy.
🛠️ The Quick Fixes People Try (Why They Fail)
Homeowners often attempt short-term fixes before looking at proper insulation. The usual suspects include:
-
Portable heaters: Expensive to run, and the heat vanishes as fast as you generate it.
-
Thermal blinds or curtains: Slightly helpful, but they don’t solve the uninsulated roof problem.
-
Draft excluders & sealant: Good for small gaps, but won’t stop the huge heat loss overhead.
These options might offer temporary relief, but none of them tackle the root cause.
🚫 A Brand-New Roof – Is It Really Worth It?
Some homeowners go all-in and replace the entire conservatory roof. While this can improve comfort, it comes at a steep price:
-
Cost – A new roof alone often starts from £15,000 (that’s not even a new conservatory).
-
Stress – Endless sales pitches, contractor negotiations, and planning hurdles.
-
Time – Weeks of disruption while your conservatory is out of action.
-
Marginal gains – Only slightly better performance than some advanced internal insulation, but at 5x the cost.
So why spend £15,000+ for similar results when there’s a faster, more affordable, greener and smarter solution?
