Hi, This is a very specialist job, the panels could be load bearing, so don't
just remove them, however you can have a skin of brick built around the
outside, insulating as you go.
Any firm carrying out this kind of work would give you the brick or render finish
decision and take it from there.
Kind regards

Hi , there are a few options for your roof issueive just completed converting one of these , you need to be careful , these are very heavy and are mostly not stone but coloured concrete. when these are removed you should build up the brick courses till they are level fix timber bearers and cover with ply . this then can have a fascia arround and be covered with eather a fibre glass finish (last over 20 yrs ) or a simple felt roof ( 10 years ish ) hope this helps
