Replacing a conservatory roof in Poole: what is different here
Poole is a harbour town with a high share of bungalows and flats, from Sandbanks to inland estates such as Canford Heath. The south coast is sunny, so overheating is a common complaint in glass and polycarbonate conservatories. Bungalow conservatories often have shallow roofs, so check the minimum pitch of any tiled system you are quoted.

Which roof makes most sense in Poole?
With around 219 hours of July sunshine, summer heat is the bigger problem in Poole. 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.
Building control and planning in Poole
Poole is in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council area, Dorset. For a solid or tiled roof your installer applies for building control approval, either through Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council's building control team or a registered building control approver, and you should get a completion certificate at the end. Keep it: a buyer's solicitor will ask for it when you sell.
