Tiled Conservatory Roof Hemel Hempstead

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

Conservatory roofs in Hemel Hempstead

Hemel Hempstead is about 17 miles south-west of my Hitchin office, reached through Luton and Harpenden or via St Albans. Most of the town was built as a post-war new town, so neighbourhoods like Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Grovehill, Highfield and Warners End are full of 1950s and 1960s homes, with older houses in the Old Town and Boxmoor.

The town sits in the Gade and Bulbourne valleys, and homes up on the hillsides catch the wind. Many of the conservatories added to those new-town houses are now 15 to 25 years old, with polycarbonate roofs that make the room unusable for much of the year. A Nu-Look insulated tiled roof brings the U-value down to 0.14, so you get a warm, quiet room instead.

I also cover Kings Langley, Berkhamsted, Bovingdon and the villages nearby.

Many Hemel new-town homes have brown or grey concrete tiles, so Chestnut brown and Grey Tapco tiles often match well.

Hemel Hempstead 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 Hemel Hempstead. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you cover Berkhamsted and Kings Langley?

Yes. I cover all of Hemel Hempstead plus Berkhamsted, Kings Langley, Bovingdon and nearby villages.

Will rain still be noisy with a tiled roof?

No. With insulation layers, plasterboard and tiles, the drumming you get on polycarbonate is gone.

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.
