I've watched all your videos David, your original conservatory build on YT gave me the confidence to buy a 2nd hand Georgian teak UPVC conservatory, and do the footings, block work, erection, false floor, wiring and rad' installation on my own. I watched what you did step by step and you beat any other conservatory build videos on YT hands down. You are a great teacher, so I wanted to say a big thank you for taking the effort to get these videos up - I always look forward to them coming along and it's the only way I learn how to do new things.

Hello Evan thank you so very much that is the best compliment you could ever give me such kind words and I am so pleased I could help you, but more that you was able to follow to that level well done you, David

Very nice job looking great please to see you had a hand Great set of videos thanks for sharing your time 🍺🍺👍👍

thanks for this, ive been looking at changing my conservatory roof but have been worried about the extra wieght ,didnt even know these pannels existed , great informative video youve got a nice easy way about you ,very informative : )

Well now, I have 2 'conservatories' in the house I've just moved into. There are a couple of tiny leaks, and having moved in beginning of December it's CHUFFIN' COLD! So it's going to be equally as hot in the summer. I'm going to make my brother and son in law watch these with a view to copying, so thank you, thank you, thank you!!! (Not sure what they'll say mind). Well done and a great job!

Thats a cracking job, mate. As you say simple and practical....................Well done you and the lad.

Hello, Really impressed with the build and the video itself. So much so you've inspired me to do something similar. Can i ask how it was through the winter? Also is there anything you would change with hindsight? Thanks so much George

Turned out great David 👍🏻 I wonder how easy it would be to fit a velux in that type of roof (just thinking of the larger jobs) - also i wouldn’t worry about the wind noise it’s been at the start of your videos for years 👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣

Hi Thank you, as for the roof its commercial roofing sheets I got off eBay

Hi you done the perfect job 、just wondering the material for the roof that you use what is it called ，are you in the UK？also how much it cost in uk

Fantastic job, look amazing and you made it look so simple... Question are these panels really heavy? I only ask because last year I just super quilted the under side of the lean to conservatory roof and plasterboarded it and skied it. Now I want to tackle the outside. Do you think I can put this roof structure right on top of the existing roof... May use battens secured to the roof?

Hi, yes I would think so they are an easy lift the size I got was about 8kg no more each and as long as they are supported at each end they hold them selves up

Hi David great video, what's it been like this cold spell were having and how did you seal the new roof where it met the house. in the video you just pushed it against the wall. I like to try this my self but we live on the coast and get driving rain, so need to seal it water tight. Thanks mostyn

You seen Tim from The Restoration Couple and his workshop? Uses the same sheets for the roof and walls so I think more people are looking at how commercial materials can sole domestic problems

Hi Dave yes i watched his and many other none domestic buildings but have a search on conservatory roofs and so many ideas but all not that practical

Amazing work, David. I have been thinking for a while about something like this and indeed, as you mention, you are the first guy to actually do a conservatory with these steel insulated panels and talk about it on the Internet. Having now past a good while since you installed it, has the roof alone made the conservatory (more) usable in winter? Also, have you noticed any problems so far, particularly related to cold bridging? Thanks

Hi Lucy, in short I can say I've noticed no problems of any kind with this roof and it has made the conservatory as another room throughout winter we use it as are dinning room and just had a cold snap of -12c for a full week and the room was as the rest nice a warm. Hope this help.

@@dmgladden That is impressive, thanks for the feedback. I would have thought such a large glazed area would - at some point - made the conservatory cold regardless of the roof. Do you reckon one could get away with 50 or 80mm thickness for the roof sheet?

Yes a nice job we have a conservatory like yours but not as long with a flat roof now we have had the conservatory for about 11 years and it has been usles its far to hot in the day and freezing on a night and it has ruined most of are things we keep in there but I have been looking into wat to do but I am going to try and put insulation on the inside first and see what that's like I was wondering when you have put the new roof on has it cured it is it not boiling in the day and not to cold on a night thanks David

Hi as you know the past two weeks have seen us it 30+ and like you most hot days the conservatory was far too hot to use but this time even in such heat it was fine it felt like the rest of the house of caurse in the windows you feel the heat coming through but the room is no longer an oven we have yet to see how it stands In winter as it was always too cold but so far it's the best investment we could have made really it works
