Replacing a conservatory roof in Bournemouth: what is different here
Bournemouth has a high share of bungalows and flats, with large Edwardian and interwar houses on the cliff top and in areas like Southbourne. The south coast is one of the sunnier parts of the UK, so overheating is a real complaint in glass and polycarbonate conservatories here. For bungalow conservatories with shallow roofs, check the minimum pitch of any tiled system, or look at solar control glass if you want to keep the light.

Why conservatories in Bournemouth get too hot and too cold
Summers here are among the sunniest in the UK (about 219 hours of sunshine in July), so overheating is the main complaint. A solid roof, or solar control glass with a low g-value, makes the biggest difference. The chart shows the average daytime high and night time low for each month in the Met Office's England South East and Central South climate district, the closest match for Bournemouth. July afternoons here average 22.3°C against 19.6°C across the UK. Inside a south facing polycarbonate conservatory the air runs far hotter than outside on a sunny day, and colder on a clear winter night.

Which roof makes most sense in Bournemouth?
With around 219 hours of July sunshine, summer heat is the bigger problem in Bournemouth. A solar control glass roof (£3,650 to £7,300 here) keeps the light and cuts the glare, but a lightweight tiled roof (£7,700 to £12,600) 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.
