99% of our conservatory roof insulations are completed within a day. Allow us to break down our approach for you:

In every installation, we use a multi-layered foil quilt insulation system. Multi-layered foil insulation is often used in new builds, but it can be added to older properties.

These systems have been scientifically shown to keep conservatories cool in summer and warm in winter. Plus, they’re built to withstand extreme temperatures by deflecting the sun’s rays. In colder months they can trap warmer air from escaping. Not to mention they’re more energy efficient than double or triple glazing!

However, insulation isn’t the only factor in creating a comfortable space to be in. Your conservatory roof also needs to look great once the insulation has been installed. We will offer you the choice to add a plasterboard finish to your conservatory ceiling or install UPVC as well.

Conservatory roof insulation can help to increase the lifespan of the structure in so many areas. Not only does it regulate temperatures all year round, but it can help to prevent thermal stress and reduce the risk of condensation.

Additionally, insulation can help to improve the overall energy efficiency of the conservatory. This can reduce the requirement for heating and cooling systems and lower energy costs.

Properly insulating a conservatory has many benefits, such as maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round. But did you know that it can also be a significant financial investment for a homeowner? 

Based on a survey of 96 customers, 86.4% of them reported saving between 10% and 60% on their energy bills after insulating their conservatories. This means that the cost of the insulation may be regained in as little as 38 months. That’s not even taking into account future energy cost increases!

Investing in insulation for your conservatory has the potential to add value to your home, as a well-maintained conservatory can increase a home’s value by up to 15%, according to Homelogic. On the other hand, a poorly maintained one can decrease the value of the home.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide where to invest your money. However, we can confidently state – as evidenced by the numerous positive reviews from our customers on TrustPilot – investing in insulation for your conservatory’s roof is a worthwhile choice.

At Sagars, we are one of the few specialist companies that provide you with a choice of finishes.

We can add a plasterboard finish to your conservatory ceiling, or install UPVC as well. Whatever your preference, we’ll work around you!

All our conservatory roof insulations are installed to the inside of the roof. We use a multi-layered foil quilt insulation system which isn’t noticeable from the outside.

We have different solutions depending on the type of roof you have. For insulation on a glass roof, an opaque film is fitted to the panels creating a sandblasted appearance from the outside.

Polycarbonate roofing – which is already opaque – will have a similar appearance to insulated blinds when insulation is added.

Conservatory roof insulation will result in light no longer passing through the ceiling. However, this doesn’t mean your conservatory will be dark. All 365 installations use brilliant white which reflects light around the room.

When it comes to lighting we have a few options available:

Our fitters can either ensure your current light fixtures remain in place, install new lighting, or we can leave a glass panel roof light. Either way, we want to help ensure your conservatory remains bright and airy 365 days a year.

Conservatory roof insulation is generally not difficult to maintain. The materials used for insulation do not require regular cleaning, apart from the occasional wipe with a damp cloth.

Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as a glass roof or window. 

All conservatories will unfortunately have a certain degree of condensation. However, our foil quilt insulation system has in-built vapour protection that allows the roof to breathe reducing condensation to an absolute minimum.

Additionally, insulation can help to improve the overall air tightness of the conservatory reducing the amount of moist air present.

However, if there is already an issue with condensation or mould growth in your conservatory insulation alone may not fully resolve this. It is important to address the underlying cause of existing condensation before installing insulation, so you don’t trap any moisture inside.

“How much does conservatory roof insulation cost” has been one of our most common questions over the last 8 years. The short answer is – it depends.

Prices start from £1,999 for a typical 3×3 metre conservatory. That includes fitting and a 10-year guarantee. But here at Sagars, we don’t charge any additional VAT.

We offer a free survey and quote specific to your actual conservatory, so you can be sure that we’ll never overcharge you.

Whether you’re ready for a quote, or you’d like to have a conversation about the options available, you can contact our friendly team for an informal, zero-obligation chat.

You may have researched alternative ways to insulate and upgrade your conservatory. A cheaper option like blinds only provides limited control of temperature and light. They supply some privacy but aren’t capable of insulating a conservatory as well.

Solid tiled roofing is another popular option. However, upgrading an existing conservatory roof to a solid tiled one will likely come at a big cost. Smaller conservatories can start at £7,000 and it can be around £18,000 for larger ones.

Foil insulation costs a fraction of the price, but delivers the same thermal, aesthetic and home-value benefits. A win-win if you ask us.

A huge benefit of foil insulation versus a tiled roof alternative is that it doesn’t require planning permission. This is because conservatories that are considered permitted development are allowed under certain guidelines established by the government.

However, you must comply with building regulation requirements and planning policies of the local authority where your conservatory is located. We always recommend checking with your local planning office for further clarification. But, we are always here to help if you have any questions.

Conservatories are a great addition to any home. But, they can be cold in winter and unbearably hot in summer without proper insulation.

With the rise of remote work and a fluctuating housing market, homeowners are investing in their properties more than ever. The conservatory, often overlooked, is a common feature in millions of homes across the UK. But they often remain neglected due to their lack of comfort.

To transform your conservatory into a usable space, consider investing time and resources into it. Ultimately, creating a functional and appealing living space is an investment. Here are some of our top tips for making the most out of your conservatory.

Invest in proper insulation 

No matter how nicely you furnish your conservatory, a lack of conservatory roof insulation is a waste. Without proper heat regulation, you’ll be left with a space too uncomfortable to enjoy all year round.

The primary issue with many conservatories is a poorly insulated roof. Usually made of materials like polycarbonate or glass, temperature regulation becomes impossible. Heat escapes easily in winter and the sun overheats the room in summer.

To resolve this issue, consider conservatory roof insulation. At Sagars, we use multi-layer foil insulation in every installation. This provides effective heat retention in winter and helps regulate the temperature in summer.

According to a survey of 96 Sagars customers, 86.4% reported savings between 10% to 60% on their energy bills after insulating their conservatory! 

Give your conservatory a purpose

Many of us utilise a conservatory as a second sitting room or a cosy place to read. However, determining the room’s purpose early on will ensure that the space serves its intended function.

A conservatory is so versatile, it really can become anything. A cosy sitting room, a gym, a home office, or even a bar.

By taking the time to think about what you want your conservatory to be, you can create a space that’s perfect for you. That not only looks great but also meets your needs and enhances your daily life. 

No matter what function you want your conservatory to serve, it’s important to consider conservatory roof insulation. The last thing you want is to be working in the freezing cold of winter, or the scorching heat of summer. Installed in a day and at a fraction of the cost of a new solid roof. The perfect way to avoid the discomfort of working in extreme weather conditions.

Rising energy costs are something that’s hot on homeowners’ minds right now. These prices are stopping homeowners from heating their homes out of fear of the cost.

The Energy Price Guarantee was introduced as a way to help protect homeowners against these prices. Currently, the guarantee is capped at £2,500. However, starting April 2023, the government will increase this limit to £3,000 in response to the escalating costs. 

With these increases, homeowners have been more conscious than ever to keep energy costs low. It’s important to note that this guarantee is only a temporary measure. It’s possible energy prices may continue to rise in the future. Taking steps to reduce your energy consumption is essential.

Simple ways to keep energy costs low

Here are some simple ways we recommend to keep energy prices low:

1. Insulate your home: Insulating your home, particularly the loft and conservatory is crucial. It can help retain warmth and potentially save up to £130 per year by reducing heat loss. In fact, 25% of a home’s heat escapes through the roof. Conservatory roof insulation is essential for reducing heat loss and maintaining a comfortable temperature all year round. Ultimately making it a worthwhile investment.
2. Install double-glazing: Double-glazing can significantly enhance a home or conservatory’s energy efficiency. The insulation provided by the trapped air or gas between the panes slows down the transfer of heat from inside to outside, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and minimising the need for heating.
3. Opt for energy-efficient lighting: LED bulbs consume less electricity than traditional lighting. This results in reduced energy consumption and costs. Additionally, these bulbs often have a longer lifespan, minimising the need for frequent replacements and lowering costs.
4. Turn down the heating: Uswitch reports that decreasing your thermostat by a single degree can lead to a 10% decrease in energy bills. The Energy Saving Trust recommends keeping indoor temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius during winter to keep energy expenses low.
