Roof Shape
Our capacity to offer a solid roof solution extends to a wide range of conservatory styles, encompassing virtually any shape or size. Even if your specific conservatory style is not included in the list below, there’s no need for concern, as we provide a comprehensive custom replacement roof service.
Tile Style
The Guardian™ roof comes with a great range of roof tiles to choose from to best match your home. On the inside you can choose from a modern plastered finish or if your room is naturally bright a timber finish is maybe the better option.
The Esprit Shingle stands out as a product crafted from lightweight, premium-grade steel. It is fortified with an Aluzinc® coating, enhancing its durability and resistance. The remarkable ‘hidden fix’ attribute ensures that no nails are left exposed to the risks of corrosion.
The variety of colours offered for the Esprit Shingle signifies its adaptability to either harmonize with or enhance the aesthetics of nearly any home.
Guardian Slate is an innovative roofing system featuring the aesthetic appeal of natural slate without the risk of cracking and breaking. Guardian Slate is available in a choice of five natural colours, providing you the opportunity to add texture and style to your home. The colours have been tested to high UV exposure and exhibit virtually no fade and with no trace of cracking or splitting.
Add Velux Windows
VELUX windows are available in a range of sizes, glazing options and finishes, and are the perfect addition to your Guardian Warm Roof.
Enjoy optimum comfort in your home thanks to VELUX ACTIVE, the smart home solution that works with VELUX INTEGRA electric and solar powered roof products to automatically control the light, ventilation and indoor climate of your home.
The complete range of official VELUX blinds and shutters gives you the freedom to control your privacy and fully customise your roof windows, blending them to fit with your own personal style. Whatever your colour scheme or design preference, there is solution to suit your needs.
Add Solstice Skylights
Crafted solely for Guardian Building Systems, the Solstice Skylight combines sophistication and visual appeal while optimizing natural light in your new space.
Increase your glazing with the Solstice Skylight
Fully enhance the glazing in your roof. Unlike many other glazing choices, our skylight takes full advantage of the entire roof height in a Guardian Warm Roof installation, ensuring an abundance of natural daylight to flood your new space. During the day, revel in the brilliance of a sunlit room, and in the evening, unwind and stargaze from the comfort of your own space.
Lighting
Add the finishing touch to your Guardian Warm Roof with contemporary and energy efficient LED Guardian Warm Roof Downlights.
Guardian Warm Roof Downlights: the low maintenance option
Our downlights are individual LED units, this means that by installing them not only do you benefit from the energy efficiency of LEDs, but you also no longer have to worry about changing bulbs – each unit has 30,000 hours of life before it needs replacing.
Windows & Doors
We have a range of contemporary UPVC and aluminium Patio, French and bi-fold options in a range of colours. Full height and corner return windows are also available. All sizes and positioning of frames are completely bespoke.
Flooring
We offer a selection of luxury vinyl flooring. Floor tiles & carpet are also available upon request. Take a look at some of our best selling floor options below. Samples will be provided during the survey phase of the job.
TEK Panels
STRUCTURALLY INSULATED PANELS / SIP PANELS
Our extensions use the environmentally sustainable Kingspan TEK® Building System for walls. Components like panels come from one source, reducing deliveries, congestion, noise, and pollution, lessening the project’s environmental impact.
The system’s design minimizes site waste, as kits are factory-cut and controlled.
The Kingspan TEK® System also enhances thermal performance due to uninterrupted insulation, reducing thermal bridging.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) consist of strong stressed skin layers and insulation, yielding thinner walls with u-values as low as 0.15 for efficient construction without additional insulation.
SIPs are versatile, accommodating various cladding and roofing materials. Internal finishing is simple, reducing wet trades and accelerating build times. They suit new builds, extensions, and infill panels between structures.
Certified as ‘Very Good’ under BES 6001, SIP panels have eco-friendly insulation with zero Ozone Depletion Potential and low Global Warming Potential.

Roof System
THE PINNACLE OF LIGHTWEIGHT WARM ROOFS
Every Guardian roof is meticulously tailored to your specific needs and prefabricated in controlled factory conditions, ensuring utmost quality prior to on-site delivery.
The Guardian Warm Roof System has undergone independent thermal analysis, encompassing the complete roof structure, including cold bridging, to provide an accurate U-value compliant with Building Regulations. Neglecting cold bridging impact can compromise thermal efficiency.
While many roof conversions boast similar or superior U-values, these claims remain theoretical without comprehensive thermal testing. If uncertain, seek clarification.
Expect year-round tranquility and comfort in your new space, as rain and weather noise are effectively mitigated. The Guardian roof significantly diminishes sun glare, safeguarding fixtures from sun bleaching and negating the need for conservatory window blinds.
The Guardian Warm Roof ensures a consistently pleasant indoor temperature regardless of the season. Its high-performance insulation guarantees long-term thermal efficiency, promoting cost-effective heating. Notably, the Guardian roof is an exceptional system endorsed by LABC and LABSS.

How long will it take?

Are you still unsure?
Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions relating to our Guardian Extensions. If you’re still unsure, feel free to get in touch and one of our friendly employees will be happy to discuss and issues or concerns you may have.
In most cases you DO NOT NEED PLANNING PERMISSION. Under permitted development rights you are able to construct a garden room providing it does not exceed more than 50% of the original garden space. The garden room must have a maximum eaves height of 2.5m. Additional advice is available.
Our garden rooms stay warm during the winter yet cool during the summer. By using high performing multi-layer insulation our rooms will save you money on energy bills.
With endless possibilities for natural light such as adding more windows, bigger doors or sky lights you can ensure your room is bright and airy. Brighten up your room even more with internal spotlights to make your garden room feel like a part of your home.
Our garden rooms are installed on ground screws which means un-level gardens are no issue when it comes to building your Garden Room.
Our buildings are built on a strong foundation system ensuring they are safe. This along with a robust structure means your Garden Room will withstand extreme weather conditions.
Building control approval is not normally required however please check with your local council for their planning guidelines.
