Conservatory Insulations (CI Group)

Conservatory Insulations, which operates under the CI Group brand, specializes in improving existing conservatory roofs. From its Manchester base, it takes on projects across the UK and offers different solutions depending on the current roof, how the space is used, and the change the owner wants. The company says it has completed more than 30,000 installations, reflecting a business focused on one part of the home: making a little-used conservatory more practical for more of the year.

The C.H.R.I.S. interior insulation option is designed to preserve the exterior roof and work from underneath. CI Group's technical description lists insulation layers, aluminum foil, vapor control, and an air gap; the system is intended to moderate temperature changes and reduce rain noise. It offers an alternative for owners who want to retain the conservatory's outside shape and appearance, although an assessment of the roof and existing structure determines whether it is suitable for a particular project.

When a project calls for a different finish, ThermaTile converts a glazed roof into a lightweight tiled roof. The company presents the system as a way to give the space an appearance closer to a traditional home addition, with an opaque exterior surface and a design developed for conservatories. The decision involves more than choosing a tile color: it also depends on the structure, size, and shape of the roof being replaced.

SkyTherm offers a different kind of transformation: an orangery-style roof with either a roof lantern or a flat rooflight to bring in light from above. The lineup therefore offers three clear approaches: insulate from inside, replace the roof with a tiled system, or change the look of the space with an orangery-style design. The company assesses a project before recommending a system, giving owners a chance to compare the scope of work with the result they want.

The process begins with an inquiry and an assessment visit. A specialist reviews the existing roof, access, structure, and intended use of the room; CI Group then recommends what it considers an appropriate solution and prepares a quote for that property. This review matters because the same system may not suit every conservatory, and the company's recommendation depends on the roof's condition and design.

The work also extends to commercial spaces. CI Group lists projects and services for care homes, pubs, hotels, restaurants, golf and sports clubs, garden centers, cafes, and other leisure venues. For these jobs, planning takes into account how the space is used and the establishment's operating needs, as well as the roof itself. Installation teams work across the country, so the Manchester base does not limit service to the city.

The company's website describes C.H.R.I.S. as its own system and says it has been independently tested at Energy House 2.0 at the University of Salford. It also presents its solutions as a way to reclaim conservatories that are too cold, hot, or noisy for everyday use. Those are the design goals CI Group describes; the results of any improvement depend on the home, the existing roof, and the system selected.

Conservatory Insulations lists its office at Eton House, Eton Hill Road, Manchester, and publishes opening hours for every day of the week, including Sunday afternoons. Its service is best understood as a specialist assessment and installation service rather than a shop selling off-the-shelf roofs: the conservatory is evaluated first, and a proposal is then tailored to that structure. For homes and commercial spaces looking to reclaim a glass-roofed room, insulation, roof conversion, and nationwide installation form the core of CI Group's work.
