How to Replace a Conservatory Roof

In recent years, it’s become apparent that polycarbonate conservatory roofs don’t provide the energy efficiency and longevity that many modern homes require. With this in mind, a solid conservatory roof replacement seems like the logical solution, but some people may delay taking this step, perhaps under the misguided impression that the process is disruptive or takes too long.

However, what most homeowners don’t know is that getting a conservatory roof replacement is actually much simpler than you think. But how do you replace a conservatory roof? And how long does this take? The team here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions is here to talk you through the process.

How long does it take to replace a conservatory roof?

The length of time it takes for your conservatory roof to be replaced depends entirely on the company you work with. Here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, we pride ourselves on our quick turnaround times. In most cases, the initial build will be completed in a matter of days and the entire installation will be finished within two weeks; however, this does depend on the size and complexity of your project

Plus, with ten installation teams working up and down the country, we’ve got the capacity to tackle multiple projects simultaneously, meaning you’ll always receive prompt service.

How to replace a conservatory roof

Before the installation of your new conservatory roof can begin, your property must undergo a site survey. During this inspection, your conservatory roof supplier will take a range of measurements and assess the existing structure; this allows them to make a detailed plan of action.

When you choose Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, you can rest assured that each and every one of our solid conservatory roofs is entirely custom made. After removing your existing conservatory roof and securing the area to ensure it remains watertight – this typically takes one day – we’ll begin to build a bespoke timber roof structure. To reduce the risk of any manufacturing defects, this framework is constructed entirely on-site. This initial build phase usually takes between three to five days.

Then, this structure is then filled with several layers of insulation, before being counter-battened and finished with Tapco tiles. In the vast majority of cases, your tiled conservatory roof replacement will be completed within two weeks, including any internal tasks like plastering or electrical work. Now you’re free to kick back and enjoy your new energy-efficient conservatory, which will boast a U-value of just 0.15W/m²K!

How to choose the right conservatory roof supplier

So you’ve taken the plunge and finally decided to opt for a conservatory roof replacement. But how do you choose the right company to carry out the work? Here are some key things you’ll need to look out for:

Experience: If your chosen conservatory roof supplier has been in business for many years then they must be doing something right! It’s important to choose a company with plenty of experience, as they will have all the necessary skills and expertise to carry out even the most complex projects. Here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, we’ve been in operation since 2013 and have completed over 4,000 installations during this time.

Reviews: All companies will promise only the very best service, but the reality is that some businesses will fall short. Reading about past customers’ experiences is the best way to get an honest idea of the quality of service offered, so be sure to check out their Google reviews page. At Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, we’ve got a 99% customer satisfaction rate and have received numerous five-star reviews over the years.

Accreditations: When choosing a conservatory roof company, be sure to check out which accreditations they hold, as this establishes credibility within the industry. Here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, we boast accreditations from a number of leading trade bodies, such as Checkatrade, Which?, TrustMark and more. We’re also fully BBA-approved and only use BBA-certified systems in all of our work.

Guarantees: For your peace of mind, it’s important that your new conservatory roof comes with a guarantee; that way, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you know you’re protected. Here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions, we offer a 10-year guarantee with all of our installations.

  A very efficient first rate service. The team stripped off the old polycarbonate roof, custom made a new framework, insulated it and replaced  the roof with 'tiles'. A day or two later a chap plastered the new ceiling. We were so impressed with the whole operation and how streamlined it was, but even more so with the finished room. We have achieved exactly what we wanted and we love it!

  From the moment the representative came and quoted me a price and the work involved I was pleasantly surprised at the price and agreed instantly. On the fitting day the two chaps arrived on time and after discussing plans with me they got straight to work. Adam(Lukasz) and Sol(Smart)worked together as a team and the roof appeared before our eyes in hours. Finally the finish they achieved and the care taken was of a high standard. Lastly although I said I would clear up they insisted and left the garden as they found it. Many thanks to all involved

  STUNNING TRANSFORMATION. Had a large P shape conservatory with a Poly sheeted panel roof which were coming to the end of their life, for years had been having companies arrive and push for a sale, in early May a new "Checkatrade" leaflet arrived and Nu-Look name took my eye. Salesman Gavyn came with samples to show construction, liked what we heard so went with Nu Look, next step Matt the surveyor approved the build agreeing it could go a head. Week of build weather looked horrendous but it held off, Gareth and Archie arrived and what professionals  they were, turned up on time and made sure all materials were on hand to complete the work.
They needed to deconstruct and construct framework  to allow the electrical work by "Dixie" and plastering by Brett and Darren to go a head, watching Gareth cut those angled sections more so for the valley was outstanding, such a craftsman and Archie was kept on his toes. Same with Brett and Darren outstanding plaster work and gave great advice when to paint ceiling due to hot weather, Dixie finished LED lighting.
We also went for building control which Nu -Look deal with via Stroma.
Must not forget Emily in the office, any issues she was on it.
We opted for the £100 deposit on agreement and the Novuna finance route, which we paid off soon after with an additional cost of £29 to do so, great finance company, web site and communications excellent.
We had a conservatory and now have a garden room and already in these very hot conditions we feel a difference much more comfortable, so if you are thinking about replacing those poly sheets give NU-Look a call, glad we did. Thankyou all from Roger and Sandra.

  We recently had a new tiled conservatory roof fitted by Nu-Look and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish all the staff were friendly and helpful. The salesmen was not pushy, he gave me a honest opinion on what needed doing and didn’t try to oversell.

I would highly recommend Nu-Look to anyone that is looking to upgrade there conservatory roof to a tiled one. It’s made such a difference especially that we have been able to use it during this heat wave.

  Nu-look have done a fantastic job of replacing my old poly carbonate roof with a solid roof.
I can't recommend them highly enough, from the initial consultation with Gavyn, to the surveyor, and all of the tradesmen involved.

  Excellent company. This is a great company wth a great product.

I wanted to insulate my conservatory roof. I had several companies around to quote for the work. Nu-Look were the only company where the representative took time to listen to what my problem was and discuss a proposed solution. All the others simply tried to press a product on me without listening to the customer. Additionally all the other companies offered their “solution” at ridiculously high prices.

If you want a builder who listens to his clients problem and proposes a solution that meets the client’s needs not theirs then use Nu-Look for unparalleled quality and value for money.

Following my acceptance of the quote I was visited by a very professional surveyor who was like every other person associated with the company being polite and keen to answer any questions I had.

When the tradesmen arrived they were bang on time. They undertook the installation quickly and to a high standard. They were professional and polite throughout.

I would recommend Nu-Look without hesitation.
