Tiled Roof Colours & Types
Once we have fitted your new tiled conservatory roof, we’ll finish the look by covering the internal surfaces with insulated plasterboard. Your tiled roof conservatory will have the appearance of a home extension, with all the benefits of large conservatory windows.
You also have the option to include roof windows in your design, allowing more light to flow through the space. Last but not least, you can create the atmosphere you desire with your choice of downlights, recessed spotlights and concealed lighting options.
Composite Slate Tiles
Composite slate tiles, as the name suggests, are made of a mixture of roofing materials, such as recycled slate, cement, asphalt and fibreglass. Unlike slate, they are uniform in size, making installation easier. They are available in different textures and colours, including Brick Red, Pewter Grey, Chestnut, Plum, Red Rock, and Stone Black.
Less expensive than slate tiles, composite slate tiles are also impact and weather resistant. So they will not crack, split, peel or warp.
Steel Tiles
Alternatively, you can choose one from a selection of steel tiles available in Charcoal, Moss Green, Antique Red, Ebony, and Burnt Umber.
Steel shingle roof tiles are more expensive upfront but are lighter and offer a longer lifespan than composite slate tiles (at least 15-20 years but often much longer). Highly durable and giving the appearance of a traditional tiled roof, steel tiles are a good choice if you plan to remain in your property for the next several years.
Alternative conservatory roofs include our glass conservatory roofs, which you choose will depend on your requirements and preferences.

Conservatories FAQs
Modern conservatory styles encompass a range of shapes. We’ve answered some of your FAQs regarding modern conservatory designs below.
It generally takes no more than three days to a week to install an average-sized tiled roof to an existing conservatory. However, if the conservatory is particularly large or repairs are necessary before work can commence, you will need to allow up to ten days.
Modern tiled conservatory roofs require very little maintenance. More durable than a polycarbonate or glass roof, tiles also don’t show dirt as easily as those materials. This means you can go much longer between cleans. When you clean your conservatory roof, do so with a telescopic brush rather than a pressure washer, which can damage the seals.
The average cost of a tiled conservatory roof in the UK is around £650 to £850 per square metre. So, you are looking at around £10K for an average-sized conservatory.
Be aware that the complexity of the design, your choice of tiles, and where you are in the UK can all affect the price.
