Roofs & roofline
Real Roof options for a different conservatory feel
If you want a conservatory with more of a room-like roof appearance, discuss Real Roof with Shire. Compare the internal finish, daylight and outside view as part of the design.
Choosing a Real Roof design
Think about the ceiling as well as the roof
The finish above you changes how a conservatory looks from inside. Bring ideas for the room’s layout and discuss the balance of solid roof areas and any roof glazing.
For a replacement, the existing conservatory needs assessment. Compare the complete proposed system and fitting scope with other roof choices before deciding.
Ask about your projectScope, cost and fitting
Planning your Real Roof project
What affects the quotation?
Roof dimensions, system specification, structural work and interior finishing determine the quotation. Ask what is included beyond the external covering.
What happens at the survey?
Review what you want to change about the room and assess the structure so suitable roof and finishing options can be discussed.
Before installation begins
Agree the complete roof specification and internal finishing scope, including any associated work identified during the survey.

Questions before you decide
Your Real Roof questions answered
Can I keep my existing conservatory?
Possibly. The suitability of its frames and base must be assessed before a replacement roof is confirmed.
How should I compare roof quotations?
Compare the full system, supporting work, glazing and ceiling finish. Similar-looking roofs may have different quoted scopes.
Where can I see a roof replacement example?
Our Smart-Roof comparison shows the same conservatory before and after a tiled roof replacement. It illustrates a change of roof, rather than specifying a Real Roof product.
