Lincolnshire is no stranger to changing seasons—sunny spells one minute, chilly breezes the next. That’s exactly why Mr & Mrs Welch turned to Roofriendly when they realised their conservatory wasn’t pulling its weight as a year-round living space. Instead of being a peaceful retreat, it fluctuated between an oven in summer and a fridge in winter. Not ideal when you’re dreaming of a space that’s as relaxing in January as it is in June.
From Summer Sauna to Year-Round Haven: The Problem
Like many homes across Lincolnshire, the Welches’ conservatory had promise—great layout, garden views, natural light galore. But the traditional polycarbonate roof wasn’t pulling its weight. The temperature swings were extreme, making it almost unusable for half the year. On top of that, the older style just wasn’t in keeping with the rest of their beautifully maintained home.
They wanted a solution that improved comfort, looked the part, and actually made the conservatory feel part of the home, not just an awkward add-on. Enter Roofriendly.
Why Roofriendly?
According to Mr & Mrs Welch, choosing Roofriendly was easy once they saw our track record. Known across Lincolnshire for our expert installations and personal touch, we’re not your average home improvement company. We’re local, we’re honest, and we genuinely care about making your home better.
What sealed the deal was our ability to offer a tailored refurbishment—not just swapping out old for new, but creating a full aesthetic and functional transformation. The couple was particularly impressed by our temperature-controlling glass roofing options which not only regulate comfort but also preserve that all-important natural light. Add a fresh design eye and professional installation team to the mix? You’ve got yourself a winning combo.
The Installation Process: Seamless and Sensible
Our first step was to assess the existing structure and ensure a sound foundation for the refurbishment. With everything in good shape, we moved forward with precision.
The external framework was updated with a soft green finish—a subtle but striking update that sits beautifully amid Lincolnshire’s lush garden scenery. Inside, we went for a clean white interior that brightens up the room and makes it feel more spacious than ever.
The star of the show? That intelligent temperature-controlling glass roof. Unlike traditional polycarbonate, this high-spec glazing dramatically reduces solar gain in the hotter months and keeps the warmth inside during winter. It’s a smart solution that means no more climate complaints—just calm, usable comfort.
The Impact: A Conservatory They Genuinely Love
“It’s just so much more livable now,” said Mrs Welch during our final walk-through. And that’s exactly what we aim to deliver—real homes, improved in ways that matter.
The results speak for themselves:
- Comfortable year-round temperatures: Making the conservatory a true extension of the home.
- More natural light: The new roof still lets that gorgeous Lincolnshire sunshine pour in.
- Added kerb appeal: That soft green exterior is proving to be quite the head-turner in the neighbourhood.
And most importantly, the Welches now use their conservatory daily—for morning coffee, weekend reading, and evening chats. It’s become a cherished part of their home, not just a pretty add-on.
