Victorian conservatory tiled roof cost
A tiled roof on a medium Victorian conservatory typically costs £8,000 to £12,000, fitted.
A Victorian conservatory has a bay front with three or five facets, so its roof meets at a central hub with a hip bar running down each corner. That shape is what makes it the most recognisable conservatory in the UK, and also what makes its roof one of the more involved to replace.
Tiled roofs on a Victorian conservatory
Most lightweight tiled systems offer a Victorian option with a structural ring beam around the frame head and a hub at the apex. Ask whether hip tiles are dry fixed and how the facets are vented.
- Every facet needs its own cuts of tiles or glass, and every hip needs capping, so labour runs higher than on a square roof of the same size.
- Inside, a tiled Victorian roof gives a vaulted, faceted ceiling that many people like more than a flat one.
- The bay windows stay, so the room keeps plenty of daylight even under a solid roof.
