Replacing a conservatory roof in Basingstoke: what is different here
Basingstoke expanded rapidly from the 1960s under an agreement to take overspill from London, so a large share of its homes date from the 1960s to the 1980s. Conservatories were added to many of these houses in the 1990s, and those roofs are now reaching the age where seals and sheets fail. Estates of the same era tend to share similar conservatory sizes, which makes it easier to compare like for like quotes.

Homes in Basingstoke and Deane
Which roof makes most sense in Basingstoke?
With around 219 hours of July sunshine, summer heat is the bigger problem in Basingstoke. A solar control glass roof (£3,950 to £7,900 here) keeps the light and cuts the glare, but a lightweight tiled roof (£8,350 to £13,650) or a hybrid roof does far more to stop the room overheating. Blinds and films help with glare but not much with heat. Tiled vs glass roofs.
