At the heart of their offering is the SupaLite Tiled Roof System- a lightweight, insulated, and easy-to-install solid roof that fits seamlessly onto existing conservatory window frames. Designed to eliminate extreme temperatures, it transforms conservatories into comfortable living spaces all year round.

SupaLite recently partnered with one of their valued Premium Installers, Greenoak Concept & Design, on a conservatory transformation in Essex. The homeowners had discovered that a clad over system had previously been installed on their conservatory – causing far more issues than they ever anticipated.

Determined to put things right, SupaLite and Greenoak restored the space, giving the homeowners a conservatory they truly loved again.

The Damage Caused by the Clad Over Roof

When the homeowners first set out to improve their conservatory, around three years ago, their primary concern was the existing polycarbonate roof. It looked worn and outdated, and the temperature extremes – sweltering in summer, freezing in winter – made the space unusable for much of the year.

Initially, they opted for a solution that they thought would solve the issue quickly and at a low cost. What they didn’ t know was this was a clad over installation, and what followed was a stressful and disappointing experience.

Just a few months after the new roof was installed, the conservatory began to leak in several areas following rainfall. Water also entered through the roof opener, and condensation soon built up across the entire internal ceiling, worsening over time.

The homeowners went online out of desperation to look for advice on what had gone wrong with their roof- that’ s when they came across Greenoak, who came out immediately. It was determined the install was so bad that a new roof was required. This is where the SupaLite Tiled Roof System was introduced.

The installers, Greenaok, stated:‘’ After having a chat with the homeowners for some time on the phone before my visit, the picture had been drawn for me of how badly he had been let down by this company and exactly what had been done. Following a lengthy chat and being told everything, I had a good look around, and there you have it, the same old cowboy trick- clad over the old roof.

“ Water coming in due to no ventilation and condensation build up, shoddy lead work, again allowing water in, uPVC hollow cladding on the inside that was sagging and pulling apart, faulty electrical lighting works with no Part-P, VELUX roof light fixed with expanding foam, and the best was shed felt shingles nailed to the outside.

“ We sat down and had a conversation about what Greenoak and SupaLite could do for them. We started on the project six weeks later.’’

Transforming the Clad Over with a SupaLite Roof

After fully removing the failed roof and repairing the damage it had caused, a brand new SupaLite Tiled Roof was installed, transforming the conservatory into a warm, dry, and usable space – completely free from leaks and condensation.

The homeowners couldn’ t be happier with their SupaLite roof:“ From the get-go, Greenoak explained in detail what was wrong with our clad over roof and why they don’ t work. They then spoke about how the SupaLite Tiled Roof was the answer and was a

fantastic roof to replace the inefficient clad over.

“ The whole process from start to finish has been a breath of fresh air. From Dale at Greenoak explaining everything, to having Aaron from SupaLite onsite to lend a hand and explain everything will be ok and that were in safe hands. It gave us confidence again.’’

SupaLite’ s Dedication to Installers

When SupaLite were approached with this major project, they were more than happy to help the customer – especially after learning about the nightmare the homeowners had been enduring with their existing clad over roof – an installation SupaLite strongly advise against.
