What to consider when planning an orangery

Costs

The cost of an orangery will depend on the size, orangery style and decorative features of the orangery, among other factors.  In 2022, here’s how much you can expect to pay.

As of 2021, the average price of a supply-only Orangery in the UK now stands at around £19,000 (this average covers uPVC and Wood) although wood is generally more expensive with average prices from £20,000 onwards.

Full build orangeries are more expensive as the price is inclusive of all work and labour costs.

The amount an orangery cost will be is entirely dependent on the size, configuration and style. The prices in this article are indicative of an average orangery.

Planning Permission

Before installing a Conservatory or Orangery you must find out whether you require planning permission.

Building a Conservatory or Orangery is a great way to increase your property’s size, value and appeal. But, before you take a step towards extending your property, you need to find out whether or not you need planning permission. While at Orangeries UK we do provide full assistance with planning permission throughout the project, we’d like to make all potential customers aware of the rules and regulations.

UK law requires you to get planning permission to enable you to build on or modify, the use of land or buildings. That said, this rule doesn’t always apply to conservatories, which are regarded as within your ‘permitted development right’.

In a nutshell, you don’t have to obtain permission if your conservatory is single-storey and if it meets the following additional requirements:

• The property has not already been extended
• Materials used in the construction of your home are similar to those used in the construction of the conservatory
• The conservatory doesn’t extend over more than half of the garden
• The roof ridge, or top point, doesn’t reach any higher than your property’s roof eaves
• The height doesn’t exceed more than 4 metres, or 3 metres if within 2 metres of the boundary
• Side extensions must not reach beyond half the width of the property
• No verandas, balconies or raised platforms are present

You may also need to establish whether or not your house is a ‘new build’. Developers occasionally place limitations on them.

Energy efficiency

Our conservatories and orangeries are designed and built to the highest standards. We source and use the best materials in the industry that is why our conservatories and orangeries are superior when it comes to energy efficiency and thermal performance. If conservatories and orangeries are not installed properly and the materials are inferior then with time your home will not retain heat but lose heat, resulting in higher energy bills. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you invest in high-quality instalments and the best quality materials. At Orangeries UK we guarantee that we get the job done properly ensuring the best energy efficiency in the business.

Financing

When it comes to adding value to a property, home extensions are one of the smartest ways you can achieve this. By creating more space by building an extension – an orangery or a conservatory, you can instantly see an uplift in value.

But an extension can be a costly outlay initially. However, with the help of our handy cost calculator tool, you can estimate the cost of installing your dream extension before you contact us and commit to anything.

Designing your orangery

It’s important to plan what purpose your orangery will serve. Consider what the space will be used for. For example, is it going to be a modern orangery, a traditional style or a period piece? Is it going to be a dining area, kitchen orangery or living room orangery? And what type of bifold doors will you need?

Benefits of an orangery

Orangeries can add value to your property

As well as the added benefit of extra living space associated with having a glass orangery or conservatory extension, orangeries and conservatories can add value to your property when you come to put it on the market. This means that an orangery or conservatory is generally a good financial investment since, potentially, it can help you earn more money for your property.

Orangeries can provide you with an improved lifestyle in the home

A stunning orangery or conservatory can provide extra space, more natural light and, perhaps even, a more open plan feel. An orangey or conservatory can help to create a more calming, spacious room that allows plenty of natural light to flood in.
It is often said that natural light helps to reduce stress levels and enhance productivity, therefore an orangery or conservatory can be a great place to concentrate in, perhaps for your own studies or relaxation, as well as providing the perfect place for your children to do their homework.

Orangeries can help you conserve energy in the home

This is an interesting comment as the amount of energy you save depends on the heating system you use in your home, your ventilation system and how much you use the light switches!

That said, orangeries and conservatories do allow more natural light into the home which ultimately requires you to use less artificial light and, as a result, you save on the electricity bills!
