A new insulated conservatory roof in Northampton costs from £3,000 on a compact lean-to, while a typical spend is £3,000 to £7,500. With Northampton's weather, replacing a 12 m² polycarbonate roof with our 75 mm panels holds on to roughly 1,029 kWh of heat a year, about £271 if you warm the room with an electric heater.
In a normal year Northampton sees about 28 nights below freezing and 19 days warmer than 25°C. Polycarbonate and old glass let both straight through, which is why so many local conservatories only get used in spring.
The Northampton climate, in four numbers
We took these averages for 2021 to 2025 from Open-Meteo's historical weather records for Northampton. The warmest day in that spell hit 38°C on 19 July 2022. Inside a conservatory with a clear roof the air gets much hotter than that, so the room is too warm in July as well as too cold in January.
How much heat a new roof keeps in Northampton
To get yearly heat loss we multiply three numbers: the roof's U-value, its area in square metres and the local degree days. Below are the results for an average 12 m² roof in Northampton:
Worked out from Northampton's 1,911 heating degree days (Open-Meteo, 2021 to 2025) and typical U-values.
| Roof type | U-value | kWh lost a year | Electric heater | Gas boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 mm polycarbonate | 2.3 | 1,266 kWh | £333 | £112 |
| Eco Tech 75 mm panels | 0.43 | 237 kWh | £62 | £21 |
| Difference | 1,029 kWh | £271 a year | £91 a year |
Energy costs use the Ofgem cap for 1 October to 31 December 2026. If the conservatory is never heated, the gain shows up as comfort rather than a lower bill: the room simply stays nearer to the rest of the house.

How much heat escapes through a conservatory roof in Northampton?
On 1,911 degree days a year, a heated 12 m² roof in 16 mm polycarbonate loses around 1,266 kWh. Put 75 mm Eco Tech panels on the same frame and that drops to about 237 kWh.
Will I need planning permission in Northampton?
Normally no, because the conservatory keeps its footprint and height. Listed homes, conservation areas and properties with permitted development rights removed should check with the council before work starts.
How quickly can Eco Tech fit a roof in Northampton?
Northampton is about 29 miles from our Coventry head office, so surveys are easy to book. Most roofs go on a few weeks after the survey, and a typical roof is finished in one day.
