Conservatory roofs are what we come to Edinburgh for
Conservatory roof replacement in Edinburgh is the one job we regularly drive into the city for. Kerse Roofing & Building take off old glass and polycarbonate roofs and build a solid, insulated tiled roof in their place, so a room that sat empty from October to March becomes somewhere you actually sit. We also fix leaking conservatory roofs of every kind. Our yard is in Laurieston, Falkirk, and we have been converting conservatories since 2009.
We want to be straight with you from the start. Our base is in Falkirk, about 25 miles from Edinburgh, and most of our general roofing work stays in the Forth Valley. Conservatory roofs are different. They are our specialism and the work we are best known for, so we cover Edinburgh for conservatory roof replacements and repairs. The survey is still free, and we still give you a written quote within 24 hours.
West Edinburgh is the side of the city closest to us, just off the M9 and M8. So Corstorphine, Clermiston, Barnton, Cramond, South Queensferry and Kirkliston are all easy for us to reach, and so are Currie, Balerno and Juniper Green to the south west. If you are elsewhere in the city, just ask. We will tell you honestly whether we can take the job on.
Conservatory roof repairs in Edinburgh
Sometimes the honest answer is that the roof you have can be saved. Glass or polycarbonate, we will patch it up: resealing leaking joints, replacing a cracked or slipped sheet, redoing tired flashings where the conservatory meets the house wall, and clearing or relining a box gutter that overflows onto the frame. If a repair buys you years, that is what we will quote for.

Solid conservatory roof conversions
Think of it as swapping a greenhouse lid for a proper roof. The old sheets come off, and in their place we frame up our own insulated structure, then clad it in MetroTile, a lightweight tile made for jobs like this. Because the tiles weigh a fraction of concrete ones, the uPVC or timber frame you already have can carry the new roof. Underneath, the ceiling gets boarded and plastered, which is why a converted conservatory stops feeling like an add-on and starts feeling like part of the house.
What Edinburgh customers tend to notice first:
- The room holds its heat through a cold east coast winter instead of losing it through the roof
- No more greenhouse glare and baking heat on bright days
- Haar, sleet and heavy rain become background noise rather than a drumroll overhead
- A tiled finish that sits comfortably with the rest of the house from the street
- A plain plastered ceiling you can paint
One thing we do not do is replace a roof like for like with fresh glass or polycarbonate sheets. Every roof we fit is solid, because that is the part that actually cures the cold and the heat. Our main conservatory roofs page walks through a conversion step by step.

Filled in online form on a Sunday night for new solid conservatory roof. John Whatsapped me a rough estimate Mon morning… Guys arrived on a Thursday at 8am and job was completed by Friday lunchtime. Very professional, excellent work done and left conservatory and garden very tidy.
I needed my conservatory roof replaced and I phoned around a number of companies… No chasing required! John’s colleagues carried out the work over 3 days… I’m delighted with the new roof…
Excellent quality. My new gutters have given my conservatory a fresh lease of life. John and his team arrived on time and were very friendly and hardworking. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kerse Roofing
Called John who arrived as promised next day and gave me a good price to clear roof moss,replace cracked tiles/lead flashings.

Highly recommended.

I am most pleased with the workmanship and work ethic of the Kerse team who replaced my flat roof. The team were on time and incredibly hard working, neat, most polite and anxious to please. Though the job got delayed two days due to rain, they more than made up for it by completing work in less than 2 days. I would fully recommend Kerse roofing to anyone looking for excellent service!
Why so many Edinburgh conservatories need a new roof
Edinburgh has thousands of conservatories added to bungalows, semis and newer estate homes over the last 20 to 30 years. Most were built with a glass or polycarbonate roof, and most now share the same problems. They are cold enough to be shut off for the winter and hot enough to be unusable on a sunny day. Rain is noisy on them, and seals and flashings that have aged in the east coast wind and rain start to let water in. You paid for an extra room, but you only get to use it for a few months a year.
How it works
- We look at photos first. WhatsApp us a few pictures of the roof, inside and out. It tells us whether a trip into Edinburgh makes sense before anyone takes time off work.
- Survey on a planned run. We group city surveys so we can give yours proper time: measuring up, checking the frame, the dwarf wall and the base, and going through finishes with you. It costs you nothing.
- A fixed price in writing within 24 hours. No callout charge, and no pressure to decide on the spot.
- Build days booked as a block. The team travels in each morning, strips the old roof, frames and insulates, tiles and plasters, then tidies before leaving. You settle up only once it is finished.
If your conversion is likely to need a building warrant from the City of Edinburgh Council, we will say so at the survey, so there is time to get it in place first.

- West side is on our doorstep. Corstorphine, Barnton, South Queensferry and Kirkliston are a short hop off the M9, so those surveys are easy to fit in.

- Covered and guaranteed. Fully insured, with workmanship guaranteed for up to 10 years depending on the job.
- Straightforward pricing. A written figure after the survey, nothing to pay until you are happy with the result.
Questions from Edinburgh homeowners
Do you really cover Edinburgh from Falkirk?
Yes, for conservatory roofs. We are based in Laurieston, about 25 miles away, and conservatory roof replacements and repairs are the work we travel into Edinburgh for. West Edinburgh is closest to us, but ask wherever you are in the city and we will tell you honestly if we can help.
Will a solid roof make my conservatory warmer?
Noticeably. Most of the heat in an old conservatory escapes straight up through the roof sheets. An insulated, tiled roof with a plastered ceiling stops that, and it also blocks the midday sun that turns glass rooms into ovens. The result is a room you can heat sensibly and sit in comfortably in any month.
Do I need a building warrant for a conservatory roof conversion in Edinburgh?
Some conversions need a building warrant from the City of Edinburgh Council and some do not. It depends on the conservatory and the work. We will flag it early if yours is likely to need one, so you can arrange it before we start. Arranging the warrant is down to the homeowner.
Is it worth repairing an old glass or polycarbonate roof?
Often, yes. A leak at one joint, a cracked sheet or a blocked box gutter does not mean the whole roof has failed. We repair every type of conservatory roof, and if the fix will give you good years we will recommend it. If the roof is past saving, the survey will show you why.
What will a new conservatory roof in Edinburgh cost me?
There is no honest one-size answer. A lean-to, a Victorian and a P-shape all differ, as do the finish inside and the state of the frame. After a free survey we put a fixed figure in writing within 24 hours. There is no charge for coming out, and payment only falls due when the work is done.
How long will my conservatory be out of action?
Usually only a few days. The old roof comes off, the new structure goes on and the room is watertight again quickly, then the tiling and plastering follow. We set the dates with you when you accept the quote, and because we are travelling in, we book the days together so the job runs straight through.
