If your Telford 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 Telford installations are completed in four to seven days, with our own team start to finish — never subcontractors.
Conservatories in Telford: what we usually find
Much of Telford is 1970s onwards new-town housing, so conservatories here are typically later additions with slim uPVC frames and polycarbonate roofs — exactly the structures a lightweight tiled system is designed to replace.
Telford is around 15 miles east of our Shrewsbury base, comfortably within a same-week survey.
Building Regulations
Replacing a translucent conservatory roof with a solid one is notifiable work. In Telford it is signed off by Telford & Wrekin Council Building Control. We arrange the application and certificates as part of the job.

Working out the cost in Telford
Most replacements across Shropshire land between £6,500 and £15,000 including VAT, depending on the size and shape of the conservatory, the tile you choose and whether you add roof windows. Our conservatory roof cost page breaks the figures down, and the polycarbonate versus solid roof comparison explains what actually changes once the old roof is gone.
Telford customers ask…
Most Shire solid roof conservatory replacements cost between £6,500 and £15,000 inc. VAT, depending on size, tile 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.
Yes — a Shire solid roof reaches a U-value as low as 0.15 W/m²K versus 1.8–3.0 for polycarbonate, cutting heating bills by up to half. The insulation traps heat inside, removes cold spots and turns 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 Smart-Roof installations take four to 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.
