Guide Conservatory Prices

The cost depends on the conservatory size, style (tiled roof, lantern roof, lean-to roof, etc.) design, and building regulations. Please use the costs above as a GUIDE ONLY. By called Orangeries UK, we’ll be able to provide a quote based upon your specific requirements.

Guide prices are based on a set of standard conservatory sizes, styles and design features. For more information about how materials, style, and planning permission might affect the cost, please see below.


Conservatories Cost Based on Materials

One of the biggest factors that effect the price of a conservatory is the materials used.

As a rule, uPVC is less expensive than hardwood. But, bear in mind that the difference in price is based on the quality of the materials and hardwood tends to be more durable and luxurious in appearance.

Supple Only uPVC conservatories can cost as little as £5,000 whilst Supply Only hardwood conservatories start from £12,000. See the tables above for a more detailed price breakdown based on size specifications.


Fully Fitted Conservatory Prices for Edwardian

Prices for Edwardian conservatories normally start at £12,000 – £15,000.

The average cost of Edwardian conservatories tends to be at the higher end of the price spectrum. This is because of the styling, theme and features involved in this type of conservatory. Edwardian types are especially popular among those who have an eye for interior design, as they offer a lot of architectural features.


Georgian Conservatory Costs

Georgian conservatories are a beautiful addition to any property. Their unique styling and curved features make them attractive to property owners looking to extend their living space. Georgian types typically start from £12,000 and, depending on size, glass options and styling, can be £50,000+.

Victorian conservatories can start from £10,000 for hardwood and £7,000 (based on 2014 market research) for uPVC. The average price for a Victorian style hardwood conservatory ranges between £15,000 to £25,000.

As a point of reference, Victorian conservatories are generally less expensive than Edwardian and Georgian-themed builds.


Lean to Conservatory Costs

Lean to conservatories are one of the most popular types of extensions in the UK due to the lower costs associated with them. Their construction is simple and architectural features tend to be more basic. This helps reduce the cost.

Of course, this style still allows for luxury options such as wide opening bifold doors, custom glass options and more.

Planning Permission Costs

You may wonder if you require planning permission.

This is subject to the satisfaction of criteria listed on the government’s planning portal. Please read our Planning Permissions Guide for more information.

We don’t sell cheap conservatory kits. Instead, we specialise in the manufacture and installation of high-quality hardwood conservatories. The costs are entirely dependent on the specifications of the conservatory, whether you want us to supply a DIY kit, and if installation is required.


Information Required for Pricing / Quotations:
  • Dimensions (H x W x L)
  • Style / type i.e. Lean-to
  • Roof lantern type
  • Design features

We calculate a conservatory cost per square metre typically. But, we can provide costs per square foot if needed.


Why Invest in a Conservatory?

A new conservatory is a great way to open up your home. It offers a degree of luxury and comfort in the confines of your back garden. With unpredictable weather, it’s nice to be able to enjoy your garden space without being exposed to the elements. A conservatory is perfect for this thanks to the views afforded by the glass framing.


Fully Fitted Conservatory Prices

Initially, pricing a conservatory can be difficult because there are many factors involved. However, this is one of the most common questions asked by homeowners looking to extend their property.

The cost of a conservatory is dependent on what you want. Larger conservatories will cost more than smaller ones. But there are also many other things to consider, including:

  • Timber type
  • Glass specification
  • Decorative embellishments
  • Paint colour and more

Conservatories Prices for Different Styles

Looking for a classic, luxurious look? Want a lower overall cost across the lifetime of the product? We recommend a hardwood conservatory.

Timber conservatories suit older homes in ways aluminium and uPVC frames don’t.

Does a Conservatory Add Value to My Home?

Of course! In fact, a conservatory can enhance the value of your property by roughly 7% and also improves marketability if it’s for sale.

Fun fact: When the housing market was uncertain back in the mid-to-late 2000s, more and more people began using conservatories as a means to enhance the value of their home. They did this instead of moving, and the demand has sky-rocketed ever since.
