Polycarbonate Roof Covering

[jsk72]

Hello all….Looking for some roofing advice please….

We have a lean to conservatory which we use as a utility room and which has a polycarbonate roof.

Last year, we dropped in a plasterboard ceiling including insulation which sits underneath the polycarbonate which is all great but I now hate the look of the polycarbonate roof from the outside and am also worried about leaks, so I want to cover the polycarbonate roof.

My question is, what can/should I cover it with? Ideally, would like to have a lightweight tiled finish, so could I just cover with membrane, batons and then light weight tiles? Or do I need to add marine ply first as well?

I’m a DIYer and will give most things a go but this is my first roofing project!!

Any advice will be hugely appreciated!

It's a habitable space beneath and a utility room, to boot. Bunging these various layers on top of each other, with little thought for venting, is going to create condensation traps aplenty.

You need to build a roof with a plan for venting and insulation.

So, I’d need to basically remove the polycarbonate roof element and build a new roof from scratch?
