Why Choose a Tiled Replacement Roof?
When you compare it to traditional glass or polycarbonate roofs, a solid roof really shines by offering the thermal benefits of a genuine extension while still letting in that lovely natural light you’d find in a conservatory. If you’re looking to boost your home’s energy efficiency and enhance its visual charm, swapping out your old roof for a solid system from Vision Home Improvements is definitely the way to go!

Our Tiled Roof Options
1. Ultraroof: The Ultimate Tiled Solution
Eight out of ten homeowners prefer the Ultraroof. It has a very realistic tiled outside and the option to add full-length glass panels. This means you don’t have to give up natural light to stay warm under a solid roof.
- No Tie Bars Needed: The Ultraroof is strong enough to hold itself up, so you won’t need any tie bars. This gives you clear, open sightlines and a nice “pelmet” for downlighters inside.
- Quick Installation: Our skilled team can usually make your new roof watertight in just one day, which means less disruption to your home.
- Fire Tested: The only lightweight tiled roof that has been fully and independently tested for fire safety as a whole structure.
2. Ultrasky All Tile: For Large Spans & Bi-Folds
If you’re planning a modern extension with wide bi-fold doors, the Ultrasky All Tile system is an excellent choice.
- Structural Integrity: Includes a hidden structural goalpost that enables for spans of up to 6m, ideal for wide-opening doors.
- Velux Integration: While the Ultraroof uses full-length glass, the All Tile option allows for the attractive integration of Velux roof windows to provide targeted ventilation and light.
- Bespoke Design: Available in any shape or size, from Victorian and Edwardian to huge P-shaped designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a tiled roof make my conservatory too dark?
It’s a common concern, you’re not alone in that thought, but the good news is, it won’t! While a solid roof can block out some overhead glare, our Ultraroof system stands out because it allows for full-length glass panels to be seamlessly integrated into the design. Unlike those small “Velux-style” windows, these panels really let the natural light pour in. Plus, the internal white plastered ceiling does a fantastic job of reflecting light back into the room, often making the space feel even brighter and more spacious than it did before.
Do I need planning permission to replace my glass roof with tiles?
In most cases, the answer is no. Replacing an existing conservatory roof is usually classified as “Permitted Development.” However, since you’re transitioning from a temporary structure to a permanent one, you’ll need to get Building Regulations approval. But don’t stress about it—at Vision, we take care of all the paperwork and make sure your new roof is fully certified, which is super important if you ever decide to sell your home.
Can my existing conservatory frames support the weight of tiles?
Standard roof tiles are typically too heavy for conservatory frames, which is why we use the Ultraroof. Weighing in at just 38kg/m², it’s the lightest tiled roof available—often even lighter than the glass roof it replaces! During our complimentary technical survey, we’ll assess your existing frames and foundations to ensure they’re structurally sound. Thanks to the lightweight design, we rarely need to add extra support columns.
Will it really stay warm in the winter?
Absolutely! The Ultraroof is designed as a “warm roof” system, boasting U-values as low as 0.15. To give you an idea, that’s about ten times more thermally efficient than your average A-rated window. This means you can say goodbye to that “ice box” feeling in the winter and the “greenhouse” effect in the summer, ensuring a cozy living environment all year round.
