REGULATIONS Replacement tiled roofs on a conservatory effectivley transform your existing conservatory into a new extension of your home This means that a tiled roof does require a building regulations certificate This means that a tiled roof does require a building regulations certificate SupaLite operate a building regulations certification scheme in partnership with JHAI JHAI are a private company who specialise in our industry and operate nationally This partnership allows SupaLite to process your application on behalf of you and our trade suppliers Please ask your sales representative for a building regulations certificate when ordering your roof There should be no short cuts in making sure your roof has the right credentials which include test data and warranty If you do not choose the correct solution apart from being potentially structurally unsafe you may find that you have problems when you come to sell your home and your selling agent is required to generate your home Energy Performance Certificate which is a mandatory document for the sale and resale of homes in the UK since 1st August 2007 In recent years the UK weather patterns are becoming more extreme It is not unheard of in the UK for temperatures to fall and homeowners to be subjected to heavy snowfall in a short period of time The predominant reason for specifying a roof designed from the start to be a highly insulated roof and structurally sound and tested is simple Your roof and your conservatory as a whole has to withstand years of extreme UK weather conditions ranging from extreme heat cold wind and probably most of all snow JHAI Ltd is a Corporate Approved Inspector licensed by the Construction Industry Council to give certified Building Regulations Approval as an alternative to Local Authority Building Control whilst maintaining the same high standards 04 You only have to imagine 30cm of snow falling on top of your conservatory that does not melt due to the high insulation properties of the materials used in a SupaLite Tiled Conservatory Roof It is not unusual for badly fitted and specified conservatory roofs to invert due to the sheer weight of the roof and snow combining and the frames below spreading due to inadequate reinforcing and inadequate fastenings being used when the conservatory was manufactured and installed In these circumstances your home insurer may fail to cover your conservatory due to the absence of a warranty or test data from your supplier

FEEDBACK The SupaLite roof is the dawn of a new era in the conservatory market and will benefit 1000 s of customers for generations to come The installation was quick and the workmen were immaculately tidy We expected days of disruption but we were pleasantly surprised at how straight forward it was to replace our old roof with the new one We were never entirely happy with our conservatory and there was always a reason why we did not enjoy it Now we can use it whenever we like and it feels so comfortable to spend time in We have completely remodelled our conservatory by fitting new bi folding doors and a SupaLite roof to create an open air dining room This is what we always wanted Its perfect When deciding to purchase our new SupaLite roof we were concerned that we would lose light into our lounge and kitchen There is virtually no difference at all thanks to the opening roof lights fitted into the roof As soon as our neighbour had their roof fitted we wanted a SupaLite roof fitting to our conservatory too I imagine some of our friends will have their roofs replaced by SupaLite when they see just how much it has transformed ours It has made such a difference to the atmosphere in our conservatory The sound of everything has changed and it feels just like an extension instead of a conservatory We were uncertain whether a conservatory as large as our could have a SupaLite roof fitted but it could We chose a flat ceiling and it is now no different to sitting in a lounge I can t believe the difference What a difference the SupaLite roof has made to a tired old conservatory We were contemplating having it removed and building an extension instead This has saved us a lot of money and the disruption of having builders at our home 16
