Conservatory roof - DIY tiled replacements?

[frg530]

I have a conservatory that was built about three and a half years ago and I'm considering changing the roof for a tiled one. The current roof is the polycarbonate type which as we all know is s**t although I've never had any trouble with it other than the usual red hot in summer, freezing in winter woes. It does have wet UFH (independently controlled of the combi) but that sits under a laminate floor and is pretty much like an on/off switch as the floor retains about zero heat.

Has anyone done a DIY on their own conservatory? Is it easy enough to do? I had thought about putting a ceiling in at eaves height instead of following the line of the roof as this would be easier - is that a good/bad idea?

Mine is 4m x 5m, double hipped roof. I fear that getting someone to do it would cost a fortune as the neighbours had theirs quoted at £8k (3m x 3m, hipped lean to).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the input.

In response to the above - I'm not sure if the structure would take the load, I wouldn't know how to check that out.

I like the idea of just leaving the polycarb. up there though and creating the ceiling below.

Interested in this too. Just had a quote from a company that specialises in this sort of thing and they want 28k plus VAT. Its a big Connie at about 10m by 3m ish but still.

£28k! Who quoted for it? Just so I know who to avoid if I end up getting quotes in.
