Conservatories

A customised conservatory style that can suit a range of uses

With such extensive history as leading conservatory installers across the South East, we know that every homeowner has their own personal tastes and requirements. This is why our conservatories are individually designed to satisfy a variety of purposes, whether it be a kitchen extension, a home office or to extend your current living room.

With limitless conservatory designs available, we offer a number of high-performance windows, French doors and sliding patio doors that can be incorporated into the conservatory, ensuring that the overall aesthetic will cohesively blend with your home’s current character.

Further enhancing the appearance that your conservatory naturally extends from your home, our range of roof options, including glass and tiled are available in many common colours and styles, ensuring the perfect choice to fuse the new conservatory with your property.

Conservatories with excellent heat retention in Ipswich, Essex and Surrey

Conservatories are commonly thought to be more prone to extreme temperatures than other rooms. This is because glass conducts heat better than brick or plaster – and conservatories typically have a larger ratio of glazed to non-glazed surface than traditional rooms. However, there are many technologies and features which offset this. And if you choose the right model – and the right installer – there’s no reason your conservatory shouldn’t be comfortable all-year round.

Our conservatory glazing is chemically treated to increase reflectivity far in excess of a normal pane’s. In the summer, when the sun’s rays are one of the major heat sources, this keeps the conservatory cool.

In the winter, however, most heat comes from inside the home, which means the glass’s increased reflectivity doesn’t result in unwanted cooling. On the contrary, our multi-chambered profiles and argon-filled inter-pane areas trap heat, keeping you comfortably warm.

Conservatory planning permission in the South East of the UK

Previously, planning permission was difficult to obtain for some homeowners, however as of 1st June 2019, recent regulations in England are now more lenient with single storey extensions and building new conservatories, meaning you may not even need to apply for planning permission. This gives homeowners greater flexibility to improve their current home, rather than move when space becomes limited. However, it is situation-dependent, which is why we will send one of our trained architects to your home to provide an assessment. If you do need planning permission, we’ll have you covered from the beginning to the end of the process.

You may be exempt from requiring planning permission if your conservatory is of a certain size:

• If terraced or semi-detached: the extension can be up to 6m long.
• If detached: the extension can be up to 8m long.

There are many other conditions, including homes that have already reached planning limits, or properties are located in sites of specific interest. So for more information, read our guide to planning permission.
