Can a conservatory have a solid roof?

There are lots of conservatory roof options available to you, whether you have a lean-to conservatory or an Edwardian style!

It may be possible for you to have a solid roof on your conservatory. Tiling it will turn your conservatory into more of an extension of your home. These generally come with windows included in the roof so that the conservatory is still bathed in light as one would expect it to be.

In order to find out whether you can get a solid roof on your conservatory, you will have to talk to your installer.

There will also be extra costs involved with a solid roof since their installations are more complex, not to mention the higher costs of the roofing materials. For a small conservatory, you can expect to pay at least £4,000 and can go over £6,000 for larger conservatories.
