Tiled Conservatory Roof Harpenden

T-shape conservatory with a tiled roof fitted by Nu-Look

Conservatory roofs in Harpenden

Harpenden is only about 10 miles south of my Hitchin office, through Kimpton or via Luton. It's a sought-after town with lots of large Edwardian and inter-war family homes around the Common and West Common, Victorian cottages in Southdown and Batford, and well-built 1960s and 1970s houses on the edges of town.

Plenty of Harpenden homes have large conservatories, often added to the back of a period house, and many of those rooms are let down by an ageing polycarbonate or glass roof. A Nu-Look insulated tiled roof, with a U-value of 0.14, keeps the room warm in winter and cuts the summer glare, so a big conservatory becomes a room you actually use.

I also cover Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Kimpton and Markyate.

Grey and Stone black Tapco tiles suit Harpenden's period homes, while Red rock and Brick red match clay-tiled roofs.

Harpenden homeowners often ask whether to replace the whole conservatory or just the roof. In most cases the frames and base are sound, and it is only the roof that makes the room uncomfortable, so a new insulated tiled roof is a much quicker and less disruptive way to gain a usable room. Low-interest finance options are available, subject to status.

How it works

First, send the form or call me and we'll arrange a time for me to visit you in Harpenden. I'll measure up, explain your options and send a fixed-price quote, usually within 24 hours. If you go ahead, a structural survey and full technical check come next, and then we agree a start date. On the day, the old polycarbonate or glass roof comes off, the timber structure goes up, then the insulation, plasterboard and tiles. In the vast majority of cases the whole job, including plastering and electrics, is finished within 2 weeks.

Nu-Look is a family business, and over 40% of its annual sales come from customers recommending it to a friend, relative or neighbour. We never inflate quotations to make a discount look bigger. Every customer gets a fair price, every time.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Redbourn and Wheathampstead?

Yes. I cover all of Harpenden plus Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Kimpton, Markyate and nearby villages.

Will a tiled roof suit a period house?

Yes. Grey and Stone black Tapco tiles give a slate-style finish that suits older homes well.

How long will my conservatory be out of action?

The build usually takes 3–5 working days on average, with around 7 for larger or more extensive works. Plastering and electrics follow, and in the vast majority of cases everything is finished within 2 weeks.

How different will my conservatory really be?

Once the roof is fitted, the conservatory has the same insulation value as any other room in your home. The U-value drops to 0.14 W/m²K, compared with around 1.7 W/m²K for a typical old roof. A polycarbonate roof provides up to 8 times less insulation, and a glass roof up to 6 times less.

What guarantees do I get?

Every Nu-Look roof comes with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee through QualityMark Protection, which also offers deposit protection. The Tapco tiles carry a 40-year manufacturer's guarantee against wind, rain, fire, cracking and delamination.

Is finance available?

Yes. Low-interest finance options are available, subject to status. Ask for details at your survey.

Do I need building regulations approval?

Replacing a conservatory roof with a solid roof often needs building regulations approval. We arrange approval and completion sign-off where needed, so you don't have to.
