Technically Advanced Conservatory Roof Systems

As Britain’s most adaptable and structurally sound insulated tiled roof conservatory system, WARMRoof has been purpose-built from the ground up specifically for UK homes.

What makes it different is the engineering that goes into every component. Designed specifically for the demands of British weather and the needs of modern homeowners, the result is a roof that not only looks superb but performs brilliantly year-round, giving you a comfortable space you can actually use in all seasons.

IMPORTANT

Unlike other conservatory tiled roof systems on the market, WARMroof uses proper ‘warm roof’ construction – the gold standard recommended by building professionals. Many other systems still rely on outdated ‘cold roof’ methods, which our research shows can lead to condensation problems for half the year.

That’s the last thing you want in your home!

Tiled Roof Conservatory Construction

WarmRoof Conservatory Tiled Roof Diagram

1

Retro-fit posts – Installed to cope with considerably greater loads for glazed or solid roofs. They are designed to be in keeping with the original conservatory installation thanks to their uPVC cappings.

2

Insulated Soffit and Fascia Overhang – Designed to match your existing installation, the tiled conservatory roof looks more like a traditional single-storey extension.

3

Fully Insulated Eaves – WARMroof offers the industry’s first insulated eaves section, which eliminates condensation.

4

Insulation – 100mm base panel insulation between the bars, retains the heat within the room.

5

Extra Insulation – Extra 50mm top panel insulation, which insulates the bars and eliminates potential thermal bridging issues, creating a true ‘warm roof’ structure.

6

Breathable, waterproof membrane – Sits between the top panels and tiles to assist with weatherproofing.

7

Tile Options – A wide range of tile options with various colours and finishes are available in a lightweight tile or TapcoSlate. WARMroof is even structurally tested to take slate, clay or concrete tiles.

8

Top Cap – A one-piece top cap cover for decorative purposes to match roof slate or tiles.

We are extremely pleased with the work done by the Ripton team when replacing our front door. The staff were professional, super efficient, and communicated clearly throughout the entire installation so we always knew what was going on. They handled everything with great care and left the area spotless when they finished. A top-quality job from start to finish. Thank you Dean.

It is easy to sell windows but after care is harder to provide and the Ripton team have been brilliant. I had an issue with a failing lock on a door fitted 4 months ago. I advised Ripton, within hours a fitter was on site, issue solved (user error as it turns out) and whilst he was here he checked all the other work. Excellent service.

Our house windows were fitted by Riptons approximately 14 years ago and they are still like new. They recently replaced our wooden garage door and window, again matching to our existing windows. Last week our front door was replaced with a new ‘door and a half’ meaning the side panel next to the door can also be opened to give wider access which we love. We could not fault the fitter who did an excellent job. All the staff we dealt with were professional and very helpful. We would highly recommend Ripton Windows.

We are very pleased with the warm roof replacement on our conservatory and with the way that the work has been done from start to finish. Andy, the fitter, has been brilliant and it was very impressive to see the roof being built, layer by layer. We have no hesitation in recommending Ripton Windows - Matthew, Richard, Andy and the team, have been professional, polite and helpful throughout the process.

The people at Ripton Windows made an excellent job of replacing our four bedroom windows. Everything from the initial contact through to quotation and eventual fitment were all completed on time and with the minimum of fuss. Their communication was excellent and all the staff that we dealt with kept us informed of key dates in the process so we knew what to expect. A great team effort and a special mention to fitter Dean who was so meticulous in the way he installed the windows, taking real care and showing superb attention to detail. Pricing was the best we could find. No hesitation in recommending Ripton Windows, give them a call and I’m sure you will be delighted too.

Have been using Ripton since the 90’s with no issues at all. Current windows 24 years old and still going strong. Had a new back door fitted yesterday and as usual the service was excellent from start to finish. The fitter Dean was very professional and did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to recommend their services 👍

Today we had the pleasure of using Ripton Windows again, and once more they have exceeded our expectations. Two weeks ago, Lee, the Installation/Service Manager, came out to assess a number of our windows that had become blown or were leaking at my request (Not originally Ripton's installation may I add) He carried out a thorough inspection and provided a clear, honest quote with no pressure or sales tactics — just straightforward advice and complete transparency (no pun intended!). Having previously used Ripton’s for an insurance-related conservatory window repair, we already had confidence in their work, but this experience has truly reinforced that trust. Today, Lee completed the installation of nine new window units (retaining the existing frames), and the whole process from start to finish has been seamless. His workmanship is excellent, his attention to detail is second to none, and he left everything spotless. It’s clear why he’s been such a valued part of the company for 25 years — he is an absolute asset to Ripton’s. Plus he's a really nice guy! I don’t typically write reviews, but I genuinely felt compelled to on this occasion. The service we received was professional, efficient, and refreshingly honest — and, to our surprise, more competitively priced than we were expecting. A huge thank you to Lee especially and Ripton Windows for being a genuine customer lead business. My wife and I truly appreciate the quality of service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

Contracted Ripton to replace our very tired glass conservatory roof (a conservatory that it turned out Ripton fitted some 15+ years back for a previous owner) with a tiled Prefix warm roof one and we honestly couldn't be happier. While we need to wait a while before we can decorate and fully finish the project, the roof is really good. Our conservatory is now much quicker to heat up and it retains heat virtually like a "normal" room in the house now too, making it a room we are going to be able to use all year round (once the AC is installed too). Excellent service from start to finish, and Andy, who fitted the roof, was an absolute trooper, doing it mostly single handedly while being very professional and an all round excellent guy. We would happily have Ripton work on our property again in the future.

This was our first time using Ripton Windows and so glad we chose them! We had a new glass roof replacement for our conservatory, it’s now a well used room. I can’t recommend them enough, from the initial visit and quote to the final finishing up. Service and workmanship were fantastic! Thank you to Matthew, Richard, Paul, Andy and Kirstie!

I went to two local Basingstoke companies, when we decided to change our double glazed windows, from deteriorating wood to uPvc. One, a company which advertises on the radio, and is a much larger company than Ripton, but its sales engineer, surprisingly, was very unprofessional at our meeting (I didn't trust the guy!), and the written quotation he forwarded was also unprofessional and lacking essential detail, which did not impress me. When I queried the price details, he said it was the Yorkshire in me. I did not appreciate this comment, inferring that I am "tight" with money, when I was merely querying what seemed to be an unreasonably high price, and especially as I am from Lancashire!? However, when Matthew Ripton, MD of Ripton Windows visited, the contrast with the much larger supplier, could not have been more marked. He was very professional, friendly and personable and his subsequent quotation was comprehensive, and detailed full technical details of every window separately. Also, Ripton's price was very competitive and reasonable, and, most importantly, Matthew is clearly an honest guy with integrity. I trusted him instantly, which, in my opinion, is key when doing business. The installation could not have gone more smoothly, and without any major problems. It's a brilliant job, and I am really pleased with the work and attention to detail. I came into contact with several people in the organisation, and all are friendly, very helpful, and consistantly professional. A really good team, who work really well together, always keeping the customer informed. All are very nice people, who you can instantly trust. I recommend Ripton Windows, a very stable family company, without hesitation, to anyone considering replacing their windows.

This was the first time we had used Ripton and we will certainly use them again. We contacted Ripton for a Warm Roof quote for our conservatory, having had a quote from the company we had always used, Ripton’s quote was over £3000 cheaper for (we consider) a superior product. We were kept informed about the job by Matthew Ripton, Richard and Kirsty every step of the way from quote to completion and everything went to plan. We can highly recommend the main installer Andy, and Paul the plasterer, both guys were friendly, highly efficient and cleared up every evening. All they needed in return were the odd cups of coffee and tea! Amazing family company which we cannot praise highly enough. Thanks to all of you. We love our ‘new’ room

I have used Ripton Windows 4 times now, and just would not go anywhere else for windows, doors or roofline products, and highly recommend them to anyone who needed these. The price given by Matthew is what you pay, no haggling or pressure to buy. Kirsty in accounts is very efficient and a pleasure to deal with. The fitters are always a pleasant, cheerful bunch. If you are very fortunate and have Lee install your door, you will not be disappointed, his attention to detail is second to none. He is full of helpful advice and tips to keep the windows and doors in good condition, and is passionate about the products. I am delighted with the quality of my recent windows and doors, and look forward to seeing how the winter fuel bills will be affected.

This was my second Ripton experience in a month having previously had replacement Sofits and Fascia boards fitted. The installation of Patio Doors proved to be another positive experience. The doors with Rosewood exterior looked even better than I remembered from the showroom and the fitting, by Dean, was an excellent example of experience and skill combining to create a wonderful 'end result'. Dean was polite and courteous throughout the installation and I was extremely impressed by his workmanship.

We have just had a new Gerda front door installed by Ripton Windows. We are delighted with door. It really is a good quality product and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Also, it was a pleasure having Lee and Richard doing the installation. They were professional and courteous, which makes a welcome change these days. Many thanks also to Matthew and Kirsty for the excellent customer service. I would definitely use Ripton Windows for any future home improvement projects.

Having had Riptons install double glazed windows at my old house when I came to my next home I was only too pleased to entrust them to fit a new patio door as well as do all of the guttering and fascias. The service from the whole team was once again highly professional and helpful. I am very pleased with the work completed and would happily recommend them. Thank you!

We have had the most fantastic service from start to finish from Ripton Windows. Mathew came to see us, completed and sent our quote really quickly, which was an excellent price and we received great advice. An excellent survey guy that was friendly and very thorough. Delivery and instillation was earlier than expected and was a very pleasant surprise . The installers Dean and Dean were swift, cheerful, considerate and very thorough. They were hard working throughout but always polite, helpful and understanding when I made odd enquiries. The attention to detail was superb. Our windows look fabulous. All the office staff we interacted with, Kirsty another lady and Lee (who helped with some little issue) were all so helpful and supportive. We would like to highly recommend this company. We have had almost all of our home re glazed and our conservatory from Ripton and all have been excellent .

We really liked their sales honesty. Matt recommended what was best for us and not the most expensive. The sale was all about making sure the product was fit for our purpose. The fitting (Dean) was very efficient and had little impact on our afternoon as the work was being done. The place was left very tidy. We were also told what TO do and what NOT TO do, with full guidance. Aftersales seems very responsive so far. It has made a huge improvement to the look AND the heat efficiency of our home.

WARM ROOF CONSERVATORY Performance

The developments behind the construction of warm roof conservatories have transformed the way your space can be used. With strong lightweight materials, the conservatory configurations are endless to suit the area you have, the light and heat you would like, privacy from neighbouring properties and the overall vision you have of how you want to use the extra space throughout the year.

Insulation

As well as performance uPVC or aluminium frames and double or triple glazed units, the framework of your conservatory is super-insulated for high performance.

Conservatory Warm Roof Construction

Unlike other products on the market, The WARMroof solid conservatory roof system is a true ‘warm roof’, with insulation placed above the rafters to stop heat loss and remove the need for battens.

Unlike traditional cold roofs, the WARMRoof is breathable—letting moisture escape and helping to prevent damp or rot in the construction.

It’s energy-efficient, cost-effective, and perfect for the UK climate, keeping your home warmer for less.

WarmRoof Cross Section Diagram fro Energy Efficiency on tiled roof conservatory

Condensation can affect solid, insulated tiled roofs with a cold roof construction for over half of the year!

As you can see from the enhanced thermal simulations, a WARMroof solid conservatory roof will not suffer condensation due to its ‘warm roof’ construction and is the only roof of its type to offer this modern method of construction.

The lower image shows a typical competitor system, clearly demonstrating the cold spots under the glazing bars, with the corresponding issue of condensation to the inside plasterboard. As a result, battening and counter battening is always required with a ‘cold roof’ construction, something not required with our WARMroof system.

With an average room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a UK average of 50% humidity to the inside of a property, the dew point is 9 degrees Celsius, and so condensation can affect solid, insulated tiled roofs with a cold roof construction for over half of the year.

By specifying a WARMroof system for your solid conservatory tiled roof, there will be no call backs or remedial work as a result of mould or condensation to the interior of your conservatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solid Roof Conservatories

Will a WARMRoof make my conservatory useable all year round?

Yes. Unlike traditional cold roofs, the WARMRoof is breathable—letting moisture escape and helping to prevent heat loss in the winter. The solid roof also soaks in the rays of the sun, rather than conduct the heat into your conservatory. This means is stays cooler.

It obviously won’t be as bright as a glazed or polycarbonate roof, but you have the option for either fixed glass units built into the roof, or Velux opening windows. 

As long as the side frames are reinforced and in good working condition, then yes. If not, we can replace the side frames. The other option is to fit retro-fit posts to carry the weight, if it suits the aesthetic of your existing construction.

Any new solid conservatory roofs we install come with brand new rainwater products to replace your existing ones. These are available in a range of colours to suit the aesthetic of your home. 

When we install a new solid conservatory roof, the inside ceiling of the construction is fully plastered and left ready to paint.

Our solid conservatory roofs come with three tile options and are available in a variety of colours to suit the style of your home. We have colour swatches and samples available in our showroom.. 

With all new warm roof installations, there is a ten-year warranty on the roof and workmanship, and either a 25 or 40-year guarantee on the roof tiles depending on the range you choose. 

Yes. We can install LED spotlights in to the roof for you with a dimmer switch, or work with you on your lighting options. 

Whilst we have electricians connecting any new lights into your new solid conservatory roof, we can always install more sockets or electric devices at the same time, saving you money on getting a separate electrician. 

We take away your old roof, its guttering and downpipes, and any waste from your old construction, recycling any PVCU.
