Provide Guardian Warm Roof
Conservatories installed years ago were not designed with temperature control in mind. Guardian’s patented tiling system achieves a superior U-value of 0.18 W/m.K, meaning they’re the most efficient at keeping cold air out and warm air in.
The Guardian Roof is a high-performance insulated roof system comprising of a pre-engineered lightweight frame, two layers of rigid insulation board, internally insulated plasterboard, exterior grade plywood, vapour membrane and a choice of tile finishes.
In just a few days, your existing conservatory roof can be smoothly transformed into a superior solid tiled conservatory roof without the need for any alterations to your existing structure, fixtures or fittings.
As Guardian tiling is specially designed to be lightweight, most existing roof frames should support it. We’ll be happy to provide you with a free assessment before any work is agreed.
The complete change-over process to a Guardian Roof takes three to five days meaning there will be minimal disruption to your household. Read all answers to commonly asked questions about Guardian roofs now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about your home
This would be determined at point off quotation, 8 out 10 existing frames are strong enough to take a Guardian warm roof. For conservatories 15-20 years old, we would recommend advancements in the glazing and window.
Within the last 20 years, the window industry has improved their glazing technology to a much higher energy efficiency standard. It would also be the cheapest time to replace them due to the existing roof being removed, we only charge trade cost price for frames and labour for this service at point of a warm roof replacement.
Yes, we can remove the doors at the point of installation which requires a sap certification, alongside building regulation which would be an added cost. Costs are the same on every conservatory conversion, We use an independent company and building regulation are – £390 building regulations with sap cert are £600.
Building regulations vary from one local authority to another hence why we use an independent company however if you would like to use your local authority we would require more time.

Guardian roofs do not need batons put on top off the roof before tiling due to the roof has a fully vented ring beam and has not had the same issues as some off the newcomers to the tiled conservatory roof market. With the tiles being fixed direct to the felt and ply, this means the roof can be accessed without damaging any of the conservatory roof tiles.
Installation figures across the UK suggest Guardian is the most popular tiled roof system. Guardian installers have installed more warm roof conversions then all the other systems combined.
We would be unprofessional calling another system inferior and would suggest that everyone performs their own research before deciding.
Guardian do not not install roofs to home owners, any company using the name ‘Guardian’ in there company name may be trying to mislead you.
So please make sure the roof installed by an approved team guardian installation company.
If someone prices a job and makes out they’re Guardian themselves and they will be sending their own fitters from the factory, be VERY wary as this is a sales ploy GUARDIAN ROOF DO NOT INSTALL ROOFS.
