Conservatory roofs in Enfield
Enfield is about 21 miles south of my Hitchin office, down the A1(M) and A10. It's a large borough with Edwardian homes in Bush Hill Park, a huge number of 1930s semis in Enfield Town, Winchmore Hill, Grange Park and Southgate, and later homes towards Enfield Lock.
Those 1930s semis are classic conservatory homes, and many of the conservatories added to them now have tired polycarbonate roofs. A Nu-Look insulated tiled roof brings the U-value down to 0.14, so the room is warm in winter and cooler in summer, and becomes a proper part of the house.
I also cover Southgate, Oakwood, Winchmore Hill, Grange Park and Forty Hill.
Red rock and Brick red Tapco tiles suit Enfield's 1930s homes.
Enfield 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 Enfield. 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 Southgate and Winchmore Hill?
Yes. I cover Enfield Town, Bush Hill Park, Gordon Hill, Forty Hill, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Grange Park and Oakwood.
Will a tiled roof suit a 1930s semi?
Yes. Red rock and Brick red Tapco tiles are a close match for many 1930s roofs.
How long will my conservatory be out of action?
The initial build usually takes 3 to 5 days, depending on size, and in the vast majority of cases everything is finished within 2 weeks, including plastering and electrics.
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.
