About conservatories and roof lanterns

Conservatory and rear of house in Newport

Conservatories

A conservatory is a glazed extension that links your home to the garden and gives you extra living space—typically used as a dining area, sitting room or sunroom. Traditional conservatories have a mostly glazed roof, which brings in lots of light but can make the room too hot in summer and cold in winter.

Modern options improve that. You can choose a solid or hybrid roof (tiled or insulated panels with some glazing), or upgraded glass and polycarbonate, so the room stays more comfortable year-round and is easier to heat. We supply and fit new conservatories and conservatory roof replacements across Newport and South Wales—full builds from the ground up or roof-only if the existing structure is sound but the roof is leaking, dated or inefficient.

We’ll discuss size, style, roof type and glazing at a free survey and give you a clear quote. For more on roof-only work, see Conservatory roof & panels.

Roof lantern on a flat roof in South Wales

Roof lanterns

A roof lantern is a glazed structure fitted on top of a flat or pitched roof to bring extra light into a room—often over an extension, kitchen, or orangery. Unlike a full conservatory roof, a lantern sits as a "box" or pyramid of glass (or polycarbonate) and can be paired with a solid roof for better insulation and year-round comfort.

We supply and fit roof lanterns in a range of sizes and finishes across Newport and South Wales. They're a popular way to brighten single-storey extensions and flat-roof refits. We'll discuss size, glazing and positioning at a free survey and give you a clear quote.

Conservatory FAQs

Can you just replace the roof?
Yes. We replace conservatory roofs and panels. This can improve warmth and reduce leaks without replacing the whole structure.
Do I need planning permission?
Many conservatories fall under permitted development. We can advise, but you should confirm with your local authority if unsure.
