Conservatory roofs in Hertford
Hertford is the county town of Hertfordshire, where the rivers Lea, Beane, Rib and Mimram meet. It has a historic centre of Georgian and Victorian streets, and residential areas such as Bengeo, Sele Farm, Foxholes and Hertingfordbury with homes from every decade of the last century. Neighbouring Ware has a similar mix, from older streets near the river to estates built in the 1960s and later.
Many conservatories here were added to Victorian terraces and 1970s to 1990s family homes, and most still have their original polycarbonate roof. Homeowners tell me the same thing over and over. The room is unusable for half the year, the heating bills don't help, and summer glare makes it too bright to sit in. A Nu-Look tiled roof turns the conservatory into a room you can use every day, with a plastered ceiling and room for spotlights.
Hertford is about 15 miles from my Hitchin office. I cover Hertford, Ware, Hertford Heath, Bengeo, Watton-at-Stone, Tewin, Stapleford, Great Amwell and Stanstead Abbotts. On period homes, Grey and Stone black slate-effect tiles are a natural match, and Brick red suits the town's many red-tiled roofs.

How it works
First, send the form or call me and we'll arrange a time for me to visit you in Hertford. 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 Ware as well as Hertford?
Yes, along with Hertford Heath, Bengeo, Watton-at-Stone, Tewin, Great Amwell and Stanstead Abbotts.
Will I need to deal with building regulations myself?
No. We'll arrange building regulations approval and the completion sign-off for you where it's needed, handling the paperwork so you don't have to. We'll explain everything at 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.
