Livingston conservatories, and why so many need a new roof
If your Livingston conservatory is freezing in January and baking in July, the problem is almost always the roof. Kerse Roofing & Building replace tired glass and polycarbonate conservatory roofs across Livingston and West Lothian with a solid, fully insulated tiled roof, and we repair conservatory roofs of any type. Conservatory roofs are the work we are best known for, and we have been doing them since 2009. This page is for Livingston homeowners who want a warm, usable room without losing the conservatory they already have.
Livingston grew quickly as a new town, and a huge number of its homes gained a uPVC conservatory in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Estates like Dedridge, Craigshill, Ladywell, Knightsridge and Eliburn, and the newer streets in Murieston, Bellsquarry and Adambrae, are full of them. Most were built with polycarbonate or early glass roofs, and at twenty or thirty years old they are showing their age: discoloured sheets, tired seals, leaks at the joints and a room that is too cold or too hot to use for much of the year.
The good news is that the frame and base underneath are usually sound. That means you rarely need to knock the conservatory down. Replacing the roof alone is often enough to turn it into a room you use every day.
Conservatory roof repairs across West Lothian
On older Livingston conservatories the usual culprits are a sagging or discoloured polycarbonate sheet, gaskets that have shrunk back from the glazing bars, and a box gutter along the house wall that fills up and spills inside. We fix all of those, on any type of conservatory roof. If a repair is what your roof needs, you will get a repair quote, not a sales pitch for a conversion.
Coming from Falkirk: the honest travel note
We are based in Laurieston, Falkirk, about 18 miles from Livingston and a straightforward run along the M9 and M8. We travel this far for conservatory roofs because it is our specialism and the demand is strong in West Lothian. For general roofing we focus closer to home, including Linlithgow. We book Livingston surveys and jobs so the distance never slows you down, and we are here for the guarantee afterwards.

Solid conservatory roof conversions in Livingston
A solid roof conversion takes off your old glass or polycarbonate roof and replaces it with a lightweight, fully insulated tiled roof. We build our own insulated roof structure rather than fitting an off-the-shelf branded system, and we finish it with lightweight MetroTile tiles. Being lightweight is the point: you get the look and durability of a proper tiled roof without overloading the existing frame.
Inside, the roof is insulated, plastered and finished, so you get a smooth ceiling that feels like part of the house. The difference is immediate:
- Warm in winter and cooler in summer, so the room works all year
- Quiet in heavy rain, instead of the drumming of polycarbonate
- A permanent, low-maintenance roof that matches the house
- A finished ceiling, ready to decorate, with the option of a roof window
To be clear about what we do: our replacements are solid roofs only. We do not fit new glass or polycarbonate roofs. For the full detail on how a conversion works, see our main conservatory roofs page.

My conservatory had multiple leaks and I thought I was facing complete roof replacement… Conservatory completely dry and looking much better. Fortune saved on replacing whole roof.
Our conservatory was looking tired and causing issues… we decided to get the roof replaced including gutters… All work completed in 3 days and at a very fair price.
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

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!
How it works
Most Livingston jobs are the same shape: a standard uPVC conservatory from the 90s or 2000s on a brick dwarf wall, with a tired polycarbonate or glass top. That makes the process predictable.
- A quick look at the frame. At the free survey we check the uPVC is square and the dwarf wall and base are sound, because that is what the new roof sits on.
- Pick your finish. Tile colour, ceiling finish, and a roof window if you want one.
- Fixed price within 24 hours. In writing, with no callout charge.
- A short, contained job. On a typical estate conservatory the roof is off, rebuilt, tiled and plastered in around two to three days, and the garden is left tidy. You pay once it is done.
If West Lothian Council will need a building warrant for your conversion, we tell you at the survey so you can sort it before a start date is set.
Why Livingston homeowners choose Kerse
- We know the estate conservatory. Dedridge, Eliburn or Murieston, the build is usually familiar, so there are few surprises on the day.
- Keep the room, lose the problem. We reuse your sound frame and wall rather than selling you a whole new conservatory.
- Quick turnaround. A typical Livingston conversion is done in a couple of days, not weeks.
- Insured, with a guarantee. Workmanship guaranteed for up to 10 years depending on the job.
- Trading since 2009. An established business that answers the phone after the job, too.
Questions from Livingston homeowners
Do you really cover Livingston from Falkirk?
Yes. We are about 18 miles away in Laurieston, a straightforward drive along the M9 and M8. We travel to Livingston and across West Lothian for conservatory roofs because it is our specialism, and we plan surveys and work so the distance does not hold anything up.
My conservatory is from the 1990s. Can it take a solid roof?
In most cases, yes. Conservatories of that age usually have a sound frame and base, and we use lightweight MetroTile tiles so the roof does not overload the structure. We check the frame and base properly at the free survey and tell you honestly if anything needs attention first.
Can you fit a new polycarbonate or glass roof instead?
No. Our replacements are solid, fully insulated tiled roofs only. We do repair glass and polycarbonate roofs, fixing leaks, cracked panels, seals, flashings and box gutters, so if you want to keep the roof you have and it can be saved, we will repair it.
Will I need a building warrant in West Lothian?
Some conservatory roof conversions need a building warrant and some do not. If yours is likely to, we will tell you at the survey so you can arrange it with West Lothian Council before work begins. The warrant itself is arranged by the homeowner.
What sets the price of a solid roof in Livingston?
Mainly three things: the footprint and style of the conservatory, the ceiling finish and any extras such as a roof window, and whether the frame needs any work first. Standard estate conservatories are often simpler to price than one-offs. We measure up at a free visit, then send a fixed written figure.
Will we lose the use of the room for long?
Not really. On a typical 90s or 2000s estate conservatory the conversion is usually finished in two to three days. The old roof comes off and the new one goes on in quick order, so the room is weathertight again early in the job.
