Replace your polycarbonate conservatory roof in Bishops Castle

If your Bishops Castle conservatory is too hot in summer, freezing in winter or unbearably noisy when it rains, you're not alone. Old polycarbonate roofs were never designed to keep a room comfortable year-round. At Shire Conservatories we've replaced hundreds of them across Shropshire, transforming unloved sun-traps into rooms families actually use every day.

Our Smart-Roof system is fully insulated, signed off under Building Regulations, and finished inside with a smart plastered ceiling and downlights. Most Bishops Castle installations are completed in four to seven days, with our own team start to finish — never subcontractors.

Bishops Castle customers ask…

Most Shire solid roof conservatory replacements fall between £6,500 and £15,000, depending on the size of your conservatory, the tile choice and any roof windows. We always provide a free, no-obligation written quote so you know exactly what you'll pay before any work begins. Pricing reflects a full system: structural survey, lightweight insulated build, internal plastering, downlights and building regulations sign-off where required.
Yes — in nearly all cases. Polycarbonate roofs are lightweight, so the existing frame and base are usually capable of supporting a modern lightweight tiled solid roof. We carry out a free structural survey first to confirm the dwarf walls and frame are sound and to specify any reinforcement so the upgrade is fully compliant and worry-free.
Absolutely. A Shire solid roof reaches a U-value as low as 0.15 W/m²K — far better than polycarbonate's 1.8–3.0. The insulation traps heat inside, removes cold spots and can cut your heating bills by up to half, turning a freezing conservatory into a room you'll happily use in January.
Yes. Polycarbonate lets the sun bake the room, often pushing temperatures above 40°C. Our insulated solid roof reflects solar gain and stops heat building up, keeping the room a comfortable, usable temperature even in midsummer.
Most installations take between four and seven days from start to finish. That includes removing the old roof, fitting the new insulated structure, weather-tight tiling, internal plastering and lighting. Our team works tidily and protects your home throughout, so disruption is kept to a minimum.
In the vast majority of cases, no. A like-for-like solid roof replacement on an existing conservatory normally falls under permitted development. We handle the paperwork and confirm your specific situation during your free survey, so there are no surprises.
