Tiled Conservatory Roof Bedford

Edwardian conservatory with a tiled roof fitted by Nu-Look

Conservatory roofs in Bedford

Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire, built along the River Great Ouse. Its housing ranges from the Victorian and Edwardian streets of the Castle and De Parys areas to the post-war and 1980s and 1990s estates at Brickhill, Putnoe, Goldington and Kempston, and the newer developments at Biddenham, Great Denham and Wixams. That variety means I see almost every conservatory style here, from narrow lean-tos on period terraces to big double-hipped Victorians on detached family homes.

Whatever the age of the house, the complaint is the same. The conservatory is too cold in winter and too hot in summer. Plenty of Bedford homeowners have tried blinds or an insulated roof lining first. Blinds cut glare, but they don't stop heat escaping or the sun's heat building up. Only a properly insulated solid roof changes how the room feels.

I cover Bedford town and Kempston, plus Bromham, Clapham, Oakley, Elstow, Shortstown, Cardington, Wootton, Willington and Cople. Nu-Look's head office and showroom is in Northampton, so if you'd like to see the timber frame and Tapco tile displays in person, it's an easy drive from Bedford.

How it works

First, send the form or call me and we'll arrange a time for me to visit you in Bedford. 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 Kempston and the villages around Bedford?

Yes. That includes Kempston, Bromham, Biddenham, Clapham, Oakley, Wootton, Wixams, Shortstown, Elstow and Cardington.

Can I see a Nu-Look roof before deciding?

Yes. Nu-Look's showroom in Northampton has a timber-frame and Tapco tile display. I can also bring tile samples and photos of finished roofs to your survey.

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.
