Glass or Solid Roof Replacement
Replace your current conservatory roof with a new, energy efficient option, whether that’s glass, hybrid, or solid tiles. This upgrade boosts insulation and comfort, making your space usable all year round.
Roof & Frame Replacement
Refresh your conservatory by replacing the roof and window frames, while keeping the original base. Perfect if your structure is outdated or underperforming, or if you want to add modern features like sliding or bifold doors.
Full Rebuild Using hup!
Transform your conservatory with a full rebuild using Ultraframe’s innovative hup! system. Built on your existing base, this solution features high performance walls and your choice of roof, delivering the style and feel of a contemporary extension in much less time.



Upgrade Your Conservatory Roof
Upgrading just the roof is a smart, budget-friendly way to breathe new life into your conservatory. A glass roof lets natural light flood the space, while advanced glazing technology helps manage heat and glare, making it more comfortable in every season. Plus, self-cleaning glass means less time spent on upkeep.
Looking for something warmer and quieter? A tiled roof delivers outstanding insulation and reduces external noise for a calm, cosy environment. Or choose a hybrid roof to enjoy both light and warmth, combining solid insulated panels with glazed sections for the ideal balance of comfort and brightness.

Complete Roof & Frame Renewal
When both your roof and frames are worn or outdated, a full replacement can completely refresh your conservatory and improve how it performs. By updating both the frames and the roof, you’ll gain better insulation, improved airtightness, and enhanced structural strength.
New frames help eliminate draughts and increase energy efficiency, working hand-in-hand with your upgraded roof to lower heating costs and make the space feel brand new.

Transform Completely with hup!
For a complete overhaul, Richard Thomas offers the cutting-edge hup! system, a fast, innovative way to convert your existing conservatory into a modern living space or stylish extension. Built on your current base, hup! uses high-tech materials for speed, efficiency, and top-tier insulation, all without the need for new foundations.
With hup!, you have full control over every detail, from room layout and window positions to roof styles, internal finishes, and external colours. It’s not just a refurbishment, it’s a total reinvention.
Backed by Ultraframe’s proven performance and completed in a fraction of the time of a traditional build, hup! installations by Richard Thomas have transformed conservatories across Southampton into energy efficient, beautiful, and versatile spaces that truly stand the test of time.

CONSERVATORY TRANSFORMATION FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about transforming your conservatory? Our FAQs cover everything from roof replacements to full rebuilds with hup!, helping you make the right decision for your home. If you have more questions or would prefer to speak to someone, you can contact us using the details below.
Can I upgrade just the roof without changing the whole conservatory?
Yes. In most cases, we can replace your roof while keeping the existing frames and base, provided they’re in good condition.
Will my conservatory be warmer after the upgrade?
Absolutely. A new roof with modern insulation can make a huge difference in both comfort and energy efficiency.
Is planning permission required for a transformation?
Usually not — but we’ll confirm your specific situation and handle any permissions needed in your particular area.
Will the transformation match the rest of my home?
Yes. We offer custom finishes and styling options to ensure the new structure blends beautifully with your property.
Can I Keep My Existing Conservatory Base?
In most cases, yes. We’ll carry out a full structural assessment and confirm whether it’s suitable for a new roof, frames, or a hup! rebuild.
Is A hup! Extension As Strong As A Traditional Build?
Yes — hup! walls are structurally tested and far more energy efficient than traditional brick. They also offer design flexibility and a faster build time.
How Do I Know Which Transformation Option Is Right For Me?
That depends on your current structure and your goals. We offer free consultations and surveys to recommend the best approach for your space, budget, and timeline.
Will I be able to use my conservatory more after it's transformed?
Absolutely. One of the main goals of a conservatory transformation is to improve comfort and usability. By upgrading the roof, frames, or entire structure, you’ll gain a space that feels more like a true extension of your home — comfortable, quiet, and functional all year round.
