Conservatories

Can my conservatory be used all year round?
Modern conservatories, with insulated bases and cavity walls which feature double glazed units and a thermal efficient roof, can indeed be used all year round. The prudent use of relevant heating technology will also help.

Do we need planning permission?
Probably not - unless you are adding a conservatory to a house that has already been extended. You may also need to check if your house is a 'new build', as developers sometimes have restrictions placed upon them.
We haven't seen the conservatory we want in your brochure. Does this mean we can't have it?
Since all conservatories are made to order, you can have anything that's physically achievable. A chat with us will open up possibilities you may have never dreamed of.
What's that style called a sloping roof?
That's a Victorian (Edwardian if it's a square shape) - the most popular style of conservatory in the UK.
We've got an odd shaped space / an unusual wall / a sloping garden. Can we still have a conservatory?
Get in contact with us and provide a simple sketch of your problem. There's always a solution, and the chances are we'll come up with several alternatives.
How soon can we have our conservatory?
The average turnaround time is 6 to 10 working weeks from receiving the order in writing (depending on the weather or if planning permission is required). It can take longer at the busiest times of year.
My builder has already constructed my base - what's the next step?
Contact us to check the base is square and level. We will then undertake the design and manufacture of your side frames and conservatory roof.
Do you make conservatories to order?
All conservatories are made to measure and can be personalised with a host of accessories and design features both inside and out.
Do we need to install insulating double glazing units, and if so, which ones?
In April 2002, the Government introduced Part L, amending Building Regulations for the first time to require replacement windows and doors to meet tough new thermal performance standards. The new standards applies when new doors replace an existing window or you change the doors between the house and conservatory, but not when you keep the existing lockable French doors or patio doors between house and conservatory.

The neighbours are not friendly. How can we protect our privacy?
Conservatories can be made private by the thoughtful use of obscure glass, solid panels at the side, blinds or even a solid wall on one side.
