Conservatory Roof Replacement Royston

Hipped lean-to conservatory with a tiled roof fitted by Nu-Look

Conservatory roofs in Royston

Royston sits on the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire border, where the ancient Icknield Way crosses Ermine Street. It's a market town with historic streets in the centre and family estates spreading up the chalk hills on the south side of town. It's about 14 miles from my Hitchin office along the A505, so I visit regularly.

Homes on the open downland around Royston, Therfield Heath and the villages are very exposed. Wind and winter cold cut straight through a polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof, and on summer days the sun beats down on the room with nothing to shade it. That's exactly the problem a Nu-Look insulated tiled roof is built to solve. With several layers of insulation under the tiles, the room holds its warmth and stays cooler when it's hot outside.

I cover Royston and the surrounding villages, including Therfield, Barkway, Barley, Reed, Kelshall, Ashwell, Litlington, Bassingbourn, Melbourn and Meldreth. Many homes here have a mix of older clay-tiled roofs and modern grey tiles, so I'll bring samples of all six Tapco colours to compare.

How it works

First, send the form or call me and we'll arrange a time for me to visit you in Royston. 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 the Cambridgeshire villages near Royston?

Yes, including Bassingbourn, Melbourn, Meldreth and Litlington, as well as Hertfordshire villages such as Therfield, Barkway, Barley and Reed.

Are Tapco tiles weatherproof enough for an exposed spot?

Tapco tiles are CE marked for wind, rain and snow resistance, and come with a 40-year manufacturer's guarantee.

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.

How long does it take?

The initial build usually takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of your conservatory. In the vast majority of cases the installation is fully complete within 2 weeks, including plastering and electrical work.

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. Finance options are available, subject to status. Ask for details at your survey.
