Glasshouse Re-Roofing & Re-Purposing Services
Upgrading your glasshouse roof with polycarbonate or composite panels offers a range of long-term benefits that can significantly improve both performance and usability. Both polycarbonate and composite materials offer excellent impact resistance and can withstand harsh weather conditions far better than traditional glass. Composite panels, in particular, provide superior thermal insulation – helping to maintain stable internal temperatures, reduce heat loss, and lower energy costs.
At Commercial Glasshouse Contracts Ltd, we offer professional re-roofing services using high-performance polycarbonate or composite panels, designed to significantly enhance your structure’s durability, energy efficiency, and usability. Whether you’re dealing with frequent repairs, poor climate control, or ageing glass, upgrading your roof can provide a long-term solution that supports healthier crops, safer operations, and lower energy bills.
Other Advantages
Re-purposing can turn your current glasshouse into a different type of structure altogether – we have worked on glasshouses that have gone on to turn part of their structure into a cafe, shop or other public access building.
Our Re-Roofing Service Includes:
- Roof Condition Assessment – We will inspect the current roofing material for damage, corrosion, heat loss points, and structural concerns
- Material Recommendation & Planning – Based on your growing needs, we recommend polycarbonate or composite panels for maximum benefit
- Removal of Existing Roofing – Safe, efficient dismantling of old glass, polycarbonate, or worn roofing systems
- Installation of New Panels – Fitting of new impact-resistant panels with improved thermal and weather performance
- Sealant & Fixing System Upgrade – All sealing, gaskets, and fixings replaced to meet current performance and safety standards
- Optional Shading & Light Diffusion Systems – Integration of UV protection, light diffusion, or shading systems to suit your growing environment
The Benefits of Roof Upgrades with Polycarbonate or Composite Panels:
- Enhanced Weather Resistance – Both materials withstand wind, hail, and temperature extremes
- Superior Impact Protection – Reduce breakage risk from storms or debris, increasing safety for staff and crops
- Improved Thermal Efficiency – Especially with composite panels, enjoy better temperature regulation and reduced heating costs
- Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan – Less prone to algae build-up, corrosion, or cracking compared to glass
- Better Light Control – Options for diffused light and UV filtration to support year-round growth
