What actually happens during the week.
Most jobs run for five to ten working days, depending on conservatory size and finishes. This is what a typical seven-day install looks like.
-
Day 1
Strip-down & protection
The team arrives, protects floors and existing furniture, removes the old polycarbonate or glass roof and disposes of it. The conservatory is opened up to the sky — weather permitting, this all happens in a few hours and the new structure starts going up the same day.
-
Days 2–3
Spaceframe up, weather-tight
The Supalite engineered structural frame is installed onto the existing conservatory frame, then the breathable membrane goes on. By end of day 2 or 3, the roof is weather-tight — no risk of rain getting in, even if the next two weeks turn biblical.
-
Days 3–4
Tiles, battens, ridge & flashings
Counter-battens, tile battens and your chosen lightweight tiles go on. Ridge tiles, leadwork at any abutments, and gutter and downpipe alterations are completed. Externally, the roof now looks finished.
-
Days 4–5
Insulation, wiring, plasterboard
Inside: insulation layers go in, vapour barrier is sealed, downlighter wiring and Velux trims are first-fixed. Plasterboard is taped and jointed. Pelmet and any other internal trim built up.
-
Days 5–6
Plaster skim & first fix
Plasterer skims the ceiling and any reveals. Lights are second-fixed, switched and tested. Velux windows fitted out properly. The room starts looking like a room.
-
Day 7
Snagging, clean & handover
We walk the room with you, check off the snag list, give you the 10-year IBG paperwork and the care guide. You’re free to decorate the next day — the plaster will need a couple of weeks to fully dry before it’s painted, but the room is yours straight away.
What to expect on your road, in your house, on the day.
You can stay in the house
The conservatory itself is unusable for the week, but the rest of the home stays liveable and the team is in and out by 4pm. We’ll always make sure the doors back into the kitchen are sealed off properly.
One van, one skip, one team
We don’t subcontract. The team that turns up on day one finishes the job. Old roof material goes straight in our skip, off the property by end of week.
Weather doesn’t stop us
The roof is engineered to be weather-tight by end of day 2 or 3. We monitor forecasts before strip-down day and won’t open the roof up if we can’t close it in by nightfall.
Power & water as normal
Existing wiring and plumbing isn’t affected. We isolate just the conservatory’s lighting circuit if it needs reworking. Everything else in the home runs untouched.
You’re not chasing anyone.
On handover day you receive your 10-year insurance-backed guarantee paperwork. The roof is built to current Building Regulations under the LABC and LABSS approved Supalite system — if you ever need a formal Building Regulations completion certificate (typically for a sale or remortgage), we can arrange one through Local Authority Building Control as a separate process. The IBG is held by an independent provider, so it’s honoured even in the (very unlikely) event we’re no longer trading.
If anything ever needs a second look — a tile cracked by a falling branch, a downlighter that needs swapping, a piece of pelmet that’s come loose — you ring us. Same office, same number, same team.
