Transform your conservatory with a Smart-Roof
Too hot in summer, freezing in winter, deafening in the rain? Replace your tired polycarbonate roof with a fully insulated solid roof — and finally enjoy your conservatory every day of the year.
Sound familiar?
Why your old polycarbonate roof is letting you down
Old polycarbonate roofs have limited insulation and degrade quickly. They lose heat rapidly, can make your conservatory hotter than the outside air on a sunny day, and amplify rainfall to around 70–85 dB — comparable to a vacuum cleaner. Sheets yellow, become brittle, crack within five to seven years and lead to leaks, condensation and rising energy bills.
- Temperature extremes — overheats in summer, freezing in winter
- Rain noise so loud you can't take a phone call
- Persistent condensation, damp patches and water ingress
- Yellowing, brittle sheets that crack within a few years
- Heating bills you can't justify for a room you barely use
A Shire solid roof gives you a room you'll actually use
Warm in winter, cool in summer
U-values as low as 0.15 W/m²K — far better than polycarbonate. Use the room every day of the year.
Whisper-quiet in the rain
Composite tiles and insulation eliminate that vacuum-cleaner drumming sound. Take a phone call in a downpour.
Heating bills cut by up to half
Stop paying to heat the garden. Many customers save hundreds of pounds a year on energy.
Adds real value to your home
A thermally efficient conservatory is treated as a true extension by buyers and surveyors.
Seamless, beautiful design
Slate or shingle tiles to match your house. Plastered ceiling, downlights and optional skylights.
Building-regs compliant
We handle the paperwork. Most installs fall under permitted development — no planning hassle.
