Landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners
Who this page is for: landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners in Cardiff
Rental property work is judged on cost per year of service, not on the day one price. This page focuses on specification that survives heavy use, and on scheduling the work inside a void window.
What we build into the quote for you
- Consistent specification across a portfolio so spares are interchangeable
- Documentation for the file: guarantee, insurance and compliance certificates
- The old frame's fixing holes in the brick are filled and made good before the new outer frame beads up to the reveal.
- The perimeter tape between frame and reveal is a compressible foam tape, not a plain butyl strip.

What we typically find on conservatory roof replacement surveys around here
- ·The frame drainage slots at the bottom are clogged with debris, so rainwater sits inside the chamber.
- ·The front-door hinge screws are 25mm chipboard fixings, not the manufacturer's 60mm hinge screws.
- ·The old timber back door has a live rot pocket at the bottom hinge that reads soft to a screwdriver tip.
- ·A previous fitter foam-filled the reveal gap directly against the frame, and the foam has now pushed the jamb inward.
- ·A cracked pane has been temporarily patched with clear tape and left for six months.
- ·A homemade timber threshold has been screwed to the concrete cill in front of the patio door.
- ·The bottom rail on the sash has taken years of rain runoff and swollen enough to bind on the frame.
- ·The bay-window front elevation has a visible smile — the middle mullion has sagged and taken the head with it.
- ·The frame drainage on a south-facing bathroom window is blocked with paint film from the exterior repaint.
- ·The manufacturer's kite mark on the corner of the glass is late-90s vintage, which explains the thermal performance.
- ·The trickle-vent screw covers are missing and the internal chamber has filled with cobweb.
- ·The top vent has been kept permanently closed with a wooden shim wedged inside the frame.
- ·The multipoint deadbolt still throws but the top hook has stopped catching and no one has noticed for months.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·The internal reveal architrave has been re-fixed with panel pins that have rusted and stained the paintwork.
- ·The gap under the front door has been carpet-strip filled from inside — the exterior weather bar is missing.

How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The client is walked through the operation of every lock, every vent, and every restraint before the crew leaves.
- ·The internal reveal is masked before any silicone runs, so the finished bead is a clean line against the plaster.
- ·The old debris leaves in a single tidy load — not skip visits three days apart.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The bead-in tools are rubber-faced, not steel — a steel tool marks the profile within minutes.
- ·The reveals are photographed on arrival so any pre-existing damage is on record before the crew touches them.
- ·The letterplate is fitted with the internal flap set to close under its own weight without dragging.
- ·The manufacturer's kite mark on the corner of the glass is left in place at handover — proof of spec for the next owner.
- ·The gasket wedges are trimmed with a fresh knife blade for every unit — a dull blade tears the EPDM.
- ·The screws through the outer frame go into pilot-drilled masonry, not driven with hammer action alone.
- ·The frame perimeter is checked with a smoke pencil for airtightness before the internal trims go on.
- ·The old broken glass is bagged in a labelled sack, not tipped loose into a general skip.
- ·The old frame comes out in one piece where possible so the reveal detail is not chased through with a demolition bar.
- ·The client is left with the manufacturer's paperwork in a labelled envelope, not a folded receipt tucked inside a drawer.
- ·The old frame is removed by cutting the corners with a reciprocating saw rather than a lever bar that damages the reveal.
FAQs — conservatory roof replacement in Cardiff
Will conservatory roof replacement suit the older Edwardian and Victorian bay-fronted houses in Cathays and Roath common around Cardiff?+
South Wales rainfall is what kills polycarbonate roofs here, and a warm roof stops both the noise and the heat loss in one job. We've installed dozens in Cyncoed and Llanishen alone.
How long does a conservatory roof replacement install take in a Cardiff property?+
Most roofs are stripped, tiled and plastered inside 3 to 5 days. Most of the Edwardian and Victorian bay-fronted houses in Cathays and Roath we see in Cardiff fit our standard schedule with no surprises.

Can conservatory roof replacement handle heritage-friendly frame profiles in conservation streets?+
Directly, yes — the tile and insulation system carries a 25 year weathering expectation and the room stays usable in january and july. That matters in Cardiff where heritage-friendly frame profiles in conservation streets is the single most common reason people call us.
Can the work be done between tenancies?+
That is how most of our rental work runs. Give us the void dates at enquiry and we will confirm before you accept whether the programme fits inside them.
Will new windows move the EPC band?+
Replacing failed or single glazed units with A rated sealed units improves the fabric score. How far the band moves depends on heating, insulation and the rest of the assessment, so we will not promise a specific letter.

Faults we fix before recommending conservatory roof replacement
Fog between the panes means the sealed unit has failed — the glass can usually be swapped without touching the frame.
A draught is usually a compression problem — gasket, hinge or seal — long before it's a reason to replace the window.
Which face the water sits on tells you everything: inside is ventilation, between the panes is a failed unit, outside is normal physics.
A door that needs lifting, shoving or a second attempt to lock is warning you before the gearbox fails completely.
