“ Replacing my conservatory roof with your product was a considerable undertaking for me and my roofer who had not used the product before. Therefore I decided to visit you premises to check the light tiles out for myself and find out a little more about installation. I was greeted by Laura who was most helpful, answered all my questions and showed me some sample installations in you premises. From measurements and photographs I provided, Laura worked out a complete list of items required and provided a quotation.
In addition Laura emailed me with web links providing video clips of tile installation.
I was very pleased with the service and follow up emails. The tiles have arrived today as planned and I look forward to finding out how the installation goes over the next couple of weeks.
Best regards ”

“ Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finished the roofing of my garage / workshop at the weekend.
Thank you for your advice and good service in getting the tiles and sundries to me in County Antrim promptly. ”

“ Hi, just wanted to say that we were so pleased with your tiles. My husband and I tackled this ourselves, following instructions on your leaflet and watching the videos on your website. Not a bad job for a couple of novices! In fact we have just placed an order to roof the shed with the same tiles.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and we would highly recommend this product. ”

“ I just wanted to say thanks for the great service and excellent product! I placed my order through Laura who really helped me out as I needed it in a hurry. The tiles arrived the next day right when I needed them. The product itself really sets off the little porch roof I constructed and I hope to use the tiles again in the future. ”

How to do a conservatory roof conversion
As a manufacturer and supplier of Lightweight Tiles, which are brilliant fo…
“ I had been looking for a few years for a new roof for my conservatory as it was too hot in summer and too cold in winter to use. I had had quotes over £11,000 for a new complete roof, removing the glass, which I thought was pointless. The glass acts as insulation and would be a huge waste of money because it would of been just thrown in the bin.
Being a Mechanical Engineer, I worked out that if I could find something lightweight and looked like the roof fitted to my house, it would be a great idea for the new roof. The weight loading for the conservatory was worked out to withstand the extra load of a few feet of snow, turned to ice, so I knew the extra weight of a lightweight roofing system would be fine.
I found Light Weight Tiles, http://www.lightweighttiles.co.uk/ by chance, on searching the net. When I saw that the tiles weighed in at 6 kg per square metre, I knew they were not a problem for my conservatory and with the choice of different finishes, I was able (having purchased the sample pack) to choose a tiles that matched my house roof.
I could of fitted the tiles myself but felt it was a better idea to use one of their recommended fitters.
After striking a great deal with the fitters, they came and did the job. It only took 6 hours to do my 28 square metre conservatory and it looked fantastic. I did have the inside done at the same time with simple white panelled pvc covering, which helped with deflect ting the light and finished the job off perfect.
I am so pleased with the finished roof and it has made our conservatory useable all year round.
I would highly recommend Light Weight Tiles to anyone wanting a simple, cheap and beautiful way to turn their conservatory into a useable room.
And the added bonus is, the tiles are made from recycled materials. ”
