Why conservatories in Sutton get too hot and too cold

July afternoons here average 22.3°C against 19.6°C across the UK.

Homes in Sutton
Which roof makes most sense in Sutton?
With around 219 hours of July sunshine, summer heat is the bigger problem in Sutton. A solar control glass roof (£4,450 to £8,900 here) keeps the light and cuts the glare, but a lightweight tiled roof (£9,400 to £15,350) 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 Sutton
For a solid or tiled roof your installer applies for building control approval, either through Sutton 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.
