What to consider when planning a conservatory

Conservatory Costs

The cost of a conservatory varies, depending on the materials used, its size, and whether or not installation is required. While we’ve done our best to provide accurate numbers, below you’ll find GUIDE PRICES ONLY.

For your reference, the prices listed in the ‘Build/Install’ column include the cost of designing, manufacturing, supply and installation. The prices in the ‘Supply Only’ include the cost of design, manufacture and supply, but not installation.

In order to provide the most accurate guide possible, we’ve created tables with prices based on the materials used.

Conservatory Planning

Planning & Permission

Before installing a conservatory you need to find out what planning permissions you require.

Under new regulations that came into effect from 1 October, 2008 adding a conservatory to your home is considered to be permitted development.

So you’ve decided on your new conservatory and can envisage yourself relaxing in the sunshine, reading the newspaper and looking out over the garden, the next step is hiring the builders, and of course, checking whether you need planning permission. Planning permission is mind-boggling for most of us, and if we’re honest, a little inconvenient. However, your perfect conservatory isn’t too far away.

The different types of shapes when it comes to conservatories

P Shaped Conservatories

If you have a large detached property, you can use the space to create a home that you can be proud of. One of the best design options available to you is the p shaped conservatory – which combines Victorian style with contemporary functionality.

Orangeries UK is a specialist in p shaped conservatories. We’ve helped many households make the most of their space by introducing stylish elements from Victorian and Edwardian design while using modern architecture to retain the proportions of your property.

Our designers understand how to use available space to enhance p shaped conservatories without compromising your garden area.

Gable Fronted Conservatories

Elegant Conservatory style is always going to be popular, and of all the conservatories we offer, gable-fronted models embody classical design. The Georgian style is still present in our modern garden rooms, and they’re a fantastic option if you enjoy traditional style but want to add contemporary elements.

The Gable fronted conservatory is different to most designs because the roof stays upright instead of sloping to the centre. People like this design because it resembles a house, which is perfect if you’re a fan of traditional designs.

We offer a range of gable-fronted conservatories for customers with all kinds of budgets and can work with you to create a perfect design for your budget.

Lean-to Conservatories

If you’re looking for a minimalist style, lean-to conservatories offer a streamlined look, perfect for contemporary homes. We offer stunning designs for various house types, including bungalows and properties with limited exterior space.

Regardless of your budget and property size, a lean-to conservatory allows you to enjoy year-round sunshine, irrespective of the season. Also known as Mediterranean conservatories, the glass windows are excellent for trapping sunlight and turning it into heat.

Special features and designs

All of our conservatory styles can incorporate special features as optional extras, including leaded and coloured glazing, applied glazing bars including arches, circles or any other designs, roof crestings, finials and pendants, fluted posts, decorative pilasters, roof mouldings, additional trims, quadrants and mouldings and more.

It is also possible to combine several of the above conservatory styles. For example, you could have a “P-shaped” conservatory where the main length of the building is a Lean-to, with one end projecting further from the house with a Victorian-style bay. With our sophisticated modern design techniques, we can manufacture almost any shape, including “T-shaped”, “X-shaped”, conservatories that link one building to another, and conservatories that fit into tight and awkward spaces.
