Replacing a conservatory roof in Milton Keynes: what is different here
Milton Keynes was designated a new town in 1967, and most of its homes were built from the 1970s onwards, with the middle home in the borough dating from the 1980s. Many houses had conservatories added in the 1990s and 2000s, so a lot of roofs are 20 to 30 years old now. Some estates have covenants on alterations, so check your deeds before changing the look of the conservatory.

With around 48 air frosts and 810mm of rain a year, warmth and rain noise matter more than glare in Milton Keynes.
