FAQ

Do I need planning permission for a conservatory or orangery?
Most fall under permitted development if size limits are respected. We confirm this and manage all approvals.

What’s the difference between a conservatory and an orangery?
A conservatory is mostly glass, while an orangery has solid pillars and a roof lantern for better insulation.

Can my conservatory be used all year round?
Yes — with insulated roofing, low-U glazing, and heating integration, it will remain comfortable in every season.

Do you replace existing conservatories?
Absolutely. We can rebuild or upgrade old conservatories with modern frames and thermal systems.

Can you include a kitchen or dining area inside?
Yes — orangeries are perfect for kitchens, creating open, light-filled social spaces.
