Conservatory Roof Replacement & Insulation
An ageing conservatory roof removed and replaced with an insulated lightweight slate roof, creating a smarter finish and a more comfortable space throughout the year.
The original orangery had reached the end of its life and no longer met the homeowner’s needs. After carefully dismantling the existing structure, we prepared the site for the new build, carrying out the necessary general building and groundwork while ensuring the surrounding property remained protected throughout the work.
The new garden room was designed to provide a comfortable space that feels like a natural extension of the home. From the foundations through to the structural build, roofing and external finishes, every stage was completed with care and attention to detail.
Particular attention was paid to matching materials and detailing so the new addition blended naturally with the existing property. This same approach is used across our home extension projects in Lyme Regis, Uplyme and the surrounding areas.
Large windows and glazed doors help flood the room with natural light, creating a versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Whether used as a sitting room, dining area or home office, the finished garden room offers far greater comfort and functionality than the original orangery.
Projects like this combine several aspects of building work, from demolition and groundwork through to structural work, roofing, carpentry and finishing. With over 45 years of building experience, Rawlins Renovations can manage the different stages of a project from start to finish.
Alongside garden rooms and extensions, we undertake property renovations, new build homes and wider building projects across Lyme Regis, Uplyme, West Dorset and East Devon. You can also view more recent building projects for examples of our completed work.
