New solid roof conservatories for Cwmbran homes
Most of our solid roof conservatories jobs in Cwmbran start with the same call: "wanting the space of a conservatory without the temperature swing, the glare and the heating cost that comes with a glass or plastic roof". Around here that usually means a new-town 1960s and 70s estates with a mix of semis where the original frames have given up. We work right across NP44 — Croesyceiliog, Llantarnam, Fairwater and the surrounding streets — typically arriving via A4042. Base and dwarf wall checked or built, frames set and levelled, solid roof structure craned or lifted on, then insulated, tiled, boarded and skimmed so the inside reads as a room rather than a conservatory.

Buying solid roof conservatories as landlords, letting agents and portfolio owners
This page is aimed at rental stock rather than owner occupied homes. The priorities are different: void periods, compliance, hardware that survives tenants, and a spend that can be justified against rent and EPC banding.
The things worth checking before you accept a price
- Hardware specified for heavy use rather than the cheapest available
- One invoice per property with each opening listed for the accounts
- 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 internal make-good uses caulk to the plaster, silicone to the tiles, and neither where paint has to go over.

What we typically find on solid roof conservatories surveys around here
- ·The seal at the beading corner has shrunk enough to expose the mitre on the internal white finish.
- ·The bathroom pane is patterned glass from the original build, and the pattern is no longer a current stock line.
- ·The glazing spacer bars are aluminium, not warm-edge — a decade behind current U-value expectation.
- ·The gasket join at the bottom corner has separated by a few millimetres — that's where the draught is coming from.
- ·The window opens fine on a cold morning and binds by 3pm on a hot afternoon — classic thermal-expansion bind.
- ·The cill end-cap has fallen off and the cill chamber is now a home for insects.
- ·The mid-rail on the composite door is bowed outward at the middle by 2mm — a slab-warp symptom.
- ·Original door furniture is 90s brass, tarnished, and no longer matches anything else on the elevation.
- ·The hinges are all dropped one notch from level, taking the sash out of square against the outer frame.
- ·The letterplate flap spring has gone slack and the flap now hangs open in a light breeze.
- ·The frame colour has gone chalky on the sun side and stayed factory white on the shaded elevation.
- ·A cat flap has been cut through the lower panel of the back door, weakening the panel and voiding warranty.
- ·The escutcheon on the front door is loose and rotates as the key turns.
- ·The sealed unit is a 20mm gap, not the modern 28mm minimum, so U-values are into the mid-2s at best.
- ·The letterbox opening is not draught-proofed at all — a candle held two feet away flickers in a light wind.
- ·Two units have the classic dust ring inside the sealed gap, meaning the perimeter seal has been breached for at least a year.
Why residents are booking solid roof conservatories right now
- ·The homeowner is targeting a specific EPC band ahead of a rental switch and needs the frames to contribute measurably.
- ·The buyer wants a composite door slab that a courier's boot cannot dent when a delivery is fumbled.
- ·The buyer wants the porch to stay a porch and not turn into a mud room by function.
- ·The buyer wants the heating bill visibly lower before next winter, not a marginal improvement they have to guess at.
- ·The homeowner has watched the neighbour's job go in and knows exactly what they do and do not want.
- ·The owner wants the front door hardware to match a specific interior palette — brass, matt black, or brushed nickel.
- ·The buyer wants a composite front door that reads more house-proud than the run of identical rentals on the road.
- ·The buyer is moving in with two dogs and needs a back door that will not degrade with claw scrape.
- ·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
- ·The resident has already lost one composite door to a courier boot and wants the replacement rated for impact.
- ·A newborn has arrived and the parents want the nursery to hold a stable overnight temperature.
- ·The resident is moving elderly parents in downstairs and needs the front threshold to be wheelchair-usable.
- ·The homeowner wants the property EPC to move up a band ahead of a remortgage in six months.
- ·The owner has an electric car on the drive and wants the front to say the whole property has been kept up.
- ·The buyer wants a genuine Which? Trusted Trader install, not a subcontracted crew running the badge.
- ·The resident wants the whole property warm to bare feet on a January morning — the frames are the last variable.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·Cavity closers get inserted where the old frame's cavity closer has failed — not omitted because it is unseen work.
- ·The window board is scribed to the plaster line, not left with a caulked gap that shows in raking light.
- ·The crew calls the client at 5pm the day before to confirm arrival window and site access details.
- ·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·The crew photographs the finished elevation from the street and shares it with the office as the sign-off record.
- ·The old frame is removed by cutting the corners with a reciprocating saw rather than a lever bar that damages the reveal.
- ·The frame drainage caps face outward and are set proud enough that they don't clog with a season of rainwater.
- ·The threshold ramp on an accessible door is set to a maximum 15mm rise and confirmed with a spirit-level lip.
- ·The trickle vent chamber inside the frame is proven clear with a torch before the outer cap goes on.
- ·The gasket is dressed into every corner with a specific gasket tool, not a screwdriver, so the corner stays sharp.
- ·The letterplate brush strip is trimmed to the exact height of the door thickness so it seals without dragging.
- ·The frame reinforcement is chosen for the wind load exposure of the elevation, not the smallest steel that fits.
- ·We de-glaze into a padded rack, not straight into the skip — the intact panes go to a glazier for reuse.
- ·The lead fitter leaves a handwritten note of anything the client should watch in the first month, not a printed generic checklist.
- ·The new frame is stood in the reveal dry before any fixings go in — a final chance to catch a wrong-hand delivery.

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.
