Caerleon solid roof conservatories — survey, supply & install
Caerleon sits 3 miles from Newport and 4 from Cwmbran, and that's the patch this page covers. The solid roof conservatories we fit here use insulated solid roof with a U value around 0.15 and steel reinforced uPVC or aluminium frames, which is what holds up against single-glazed original sashes in the heritage core. Straight in off M4 J25 or the B4236 — Caerleon is one of our quickest same-day survey runs, so site visits and follow-ups don't drag.

Owner occupiers replacing one door or one window
Owner occupiers replacing one door or one window around Caerleon: what changes
Written for people who need one opening sorted rather than a full refit. The honest question at this size of job is repair or replace, and this page answers it before asking you to book anything.
What this buyer actually needs from us
- A short arrival window rather than a whole day waiting in
- A fixed price for one opening with no minimum order pressure
- The internal make-good uses caulk to the plaster, silicone to the tiles, and neither where paint has to go over.
- The frame square is checked at the diagonals before any glass goes in — a square frame stays square.

What we typically find on solid roof conservatories surveys around here
- ·Silicone at the outer perimeter has hardened, cracked, and lifted at the head — water tracks behind it in heavy rain.
- ·The old timber sub-frame under the current uPVC unit is still in place and is soft at the bottom left corner.
- ·Handles on the ground-floor windows have been swapped for cheap replacements that no longer match the espag rod.
- ·The gasket join at the bottom corner has separated by a few millimetres — that's where the draught is coming from.
- ·Wet-set fixings through the outer frame have rusted and stained the surrounding brick.
- ·The manufacturer's kite mark on the corner of the glass is late-90s vintage, which explains the thermal performance.
- ·The reinforcement steel inside the top rail of a wide sash has rusted through in one corner.
- ·The frame colour has gone chalky on the sun side and stayed factory white on the shaded elevation.
- ·Trickle vents on the older units are 4000mm² each — modern regs would spec 8000mm² for the same room.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·One sash sits proud of the frame by 2mm along the top rail — a factory manufacturing tolerance that never got addressed.
- ·The escutcheon plate on the back door hides a botched cylinder swap where the follower is worn.
- ·The bottom rail on the sash has taken years of rain runoff and swollen enough to bind on the frame.
- ·The multipoint lock still throws but the internal handle has 40° of dead travel before engaging.
- ·There is a live crack running from the top corner of a bay-window pane where the frame has been out of square since installation.
- ·One casement's friction stay has been swapped for a random spare that doesn't match the arm geometry.
Why residents are booking solid roof conservatories right now

- ·The owner wants a threshold that does not require a step for a mobility scooter to clear.
- ·The resident is moving elderly parents in downstairs and needs the front threshold to be wheelchair-usable.
- ·The homeowner wants a single date, a single crew, and a single guarantee — not a paper trail across three companies.

- ·The owner wants the job to finish clean — no leftover offcuts in the skip on the drive, no sealant on the render.
- ·The buyer is running a small business from the home office and wants the kerb to say established and settled.

- ·The homeowner is on holiday half the year and wants a security spec they can leave for weeks without worrying.
- ·The buyer wants no upsell scripts — a survey, a spec, a figure, and space to think.
- ·The homeowner wants the crew to catch anything the vendor's survey missed while they're on site.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The frame reinforcement steel is confirmed by knock-test before selecting the fixing pattern.
- ·Trickle vents are drilled through the outer frame with a bespoke jig — not freehand with a spade bit.
- ·The crew photographs the finished elevation from the street and shares it with the office as the sign-off record.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The keeps for the multipoint are set with the door open and the position marked, not adjusted by eye once the door is closed.
- ·The internal beads are numbered on removal so they return to the same corner they came from.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lubed with the manufacturer's grease, not household oil that dries and gums.
- ·The window boards are pre-treated on the underside with a moisture seal before setting in place.
- ·The keys are handed to the client only after the lock has been thrown four times in and out from both sides.
- ·The internal cill is scribed with a coping saw against the reveal plaster, not butted flush with a caulk joint.
- ·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 internal architrave is coped rather than mitred where the reveal wall is out of true.
- ·Cylinders come out of the box, get numbered, and are the last thing fitted, so a lost cylinder does not stall the day.
- ·The van carries a set of dust extraction attachments and uses them on any grinder work in occupied rooms.
- ·The client is left with the manufacturer's paperwork in a labelled envelope, not a folded receipt tucked inside a drawer.
- ·The old keys are collected and destroyed, not left in a bag on the drive.

Can solid roof conservatories handle conservation-area rules on frame profile and colour?+
Directly, yes — built as a permanent room, with the roof structure rated to the same life as a house extension roof. That matters in Caerleon where conservation-area rules on frame profile and colour is the single most common reason people call us.
Why replace the whole set rather than one-by-one in a Caerleon home?+
Because wanting the space of a conservatory without the temperature swing, the glare and the heating cost that comes with a glass or plastic roof rarely stays isolated — once one unit goes, the rest follow within a few years. Doing it once means matching frames across the elevation and one trip for our team into NP18.
Do you take on single window or single door jobs?+
Yes, and there is no minimum order. A single opening is usually a half day, including removing the old frame and making the reveal good inside and out.
Is it cheaper to repair the existing frame?+
Often, yes. Hinges, handles, gearboxes and single sealed units can all be replaced without touching the frame. We quote the repair first when the frame itself is sound.

Faults we fix before recommending solid roof conservatories
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.
