Conservatories
Five standard shapes, three roof systems, and a room you can actually use in February.
About conservatories
A conservatory changes how a house feels, not just how it looks — it gives you somewhere to sit that's still connected to the garden. The part that decides whether you use it all year is the roof, which is why we talk about that first rather than last.
Glass, polycarbonate and solid tiled roof systems are all available. Frames come in any RAL colour, and we match the doors and windows to what's already on the house.
Available finishes
Not sure? We bring samples to the survey so you can hold them against the brickwork.

Conservatory styles
Five standard shapes, all made to your measurements:
Edwardian
A square or rectangular footprint — the most usable floor space for the money.
Victorian
A faceted bay front, three or five panels. Suits period and bay-fronted houses.
Gable end
A full-height front gable that makes the room feel considerably taller.
Lean-to
A single-pitch roof. The simplest shape, and the best fit under low eaves or on a bungalow.
P-shaped
A lean-to and a Victorian joined — one space for dining, one for sitting.
Common questions
Can you replace a conservatory roof without rebuilding the whole thing?
Usually yes. Most conservatory frames and bases will take a tiled warm roof or a solid roof system, and we'll check the existing structure at survey before recommending anything. Where the base or frames aren't up to it, we'll tell you.
Will a warm roof stop the conservatory being freezing?
That's the main reason people do it. Insulation is included in our roofing costs, and it's the insulation rather than the tiles that turns a conservatory into a room you can use in winter.
Is scaffolding extra?
No. All scaffolding and equipment is included in the price we quote.
What guarantees do you offer?
All our windows and doors come with a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover outlasts the invoice. Roofing and building work carries its own guarantee, and ProPERLA coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on top of ours.
Do you really do all of this yourselves?
Yes. Windows, doors, roofing, building work, electrics and coatings are all our own teams. That's the point of the business — one contract and one point of contact, rather than you co-ordinating five firms and absorbing the gaps between them.
How long does a full house of windows take?
It depends on the number and style, but as a rule a whole house of eight to ten windows is fitted in one to two days. We survey first and manufacture every frame to the exact size of the opening, which keeps time on site down.
