Conservatory Conversion

19th July 2026

Sheerline Bespoke’s S2 conservatory roof system has been used to overcome structural challenges and deliver a conservatory extension and modern living space.

The project involved removing a small, conservatory featuring an ageing roof and PVC frames and replacing it with a much larger, hipped lean-to design in foil grey.

The installation incorporates high-performance solar control roof glass and a double-glazing bar with an integrated screen to conceal an internal partition wall, creating two distinct yet cohesive spaces.

Return to Rishton

Rishton Glass and Windows completed the transformation in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Director Steve Keenan explained the brief: “This was for a regular customer who had bought the neighbouring cottage and wanted to extend both properties into one usable space, while keeping separate areas. The original conservatory was too small and wasn’t being used properly, so the aim was to create something bigger, brighter and far more practical and increase the roof pitch.”

Survey support

Given the complexities of the property, including random stone walls, an out-of-square structure, a soil pipe and the requirement to increase the roof pitch, Rishton Glass turned to Chris Cooke, the commercial director at Sheerline Bespoke, for detailed survey assistance to ensure accuracy from the outset.

“On projects like this, getting the survey right is everything,” said Keenan. “Chris came out, helped measure up and made sure we had a solution for every obstacle. His experience means we’ve yet to come across a job we can’t make work with his input.”

Simple and reliable

Rishton Glass has used the S2 system on previous installations, and Keenan cites its simplicity and reliability as key advantages.

“The S2 is very straightforward to install,” Keenan said. “The instructions are clear. The detailed plans show exactly where everything goes. That makes a huge difference on site. If we ever need anything, it’s just a quick call or email to Chris and it’s sorted straight away.”

The entire installation was completed in just four days by Keenan and his team. He said: “The speed of install was excellent. That comes down to both the product and the support behind it.

“Our customers were absolutely over the moon with the end result. It’s completely transformed how they use the space.”
