Demand for replacement roofs up 30%
8th November 2016

Consumer enquiries for replacement conservatory roofs have risen by 30% year on year, according to lead generating business Leads2trade.

This year, Leads2trade has generated 4,000 replacement roof leads, mostly May and September, when demand for conservatories is historically higher. Many enquiries received were to replace old polycarbonate roofs for a solid tile roof.

Leads2trade Director Andy Royle said: “Homeowners want to invest in their homes and one of the main areas of improvement is conservatories. The replacement roof market is doing particularly well as consumers look to upgrade their old polycarbonate and glass roofs to solid tile.

The trend is endorsed by one long-standing Leads2trade customer Sentinel Solid Roofs, whose Managing Director Bob Lilley added: “Whilst they will never be made obsolete, over the last 15 years more than 70% of the glass roof market has gone.

“Homeowners want lifestyle rooms such as orangeries and extensions with lantern roofs and most glass roofs don’t offer adequate performance, leaving a room too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This has led to the growth of the solid roof market, and as part of this we have seen demand for our solid tile roofs increasing.”

In-line with rising demand for its replacement conservatory roof service, Leads2trade has launched two new websites where homeowners can register to find a tradesman to carry out roof replacements.
