Add value to your home

Conservatories add many layers of value to a home. Conservatories extend a home and provide it with a new inside living space. It can be less hassle to build a conservatory than a more traditional extension, which means you get great value from a conservatory. 

A well built conservatory can add up to 5% to a home's value.

What is the life expectancy of a conservatory?

The life expectancy of a conservatory can vary depending on a number of factors such as the quality of materials used, the design and construction of the conservatory, and the level of maintenance and care it receives. Generally speaking, a well-built and properly maintained conservatory can last for many years, with a typical lifespan of between 10 and 30 years.

Do conservatories devalue houses?

The impact of a conservatory on the value of a house can vary. While a well-built, high-quality conservatory that complements the overall aesthetics of the property can enhance its appeal and potentially increase its value, poorly constructed or cheaply designed conservatories may have a negative effect.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Conservatories & Other Glass Extensions

We’re sure you’ve got some questions or queries about our innovative range of glass extensions. If you can’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What’s the difference between a conservatory & an orangery?

Traditionally, the main difference between an orangery and a conservatory was that orangeries featured brick pillars and a lantern roof, whereas conservatories were usually made from glass or polycarbonate panels. Nowadays both orangery and conservatory style extensions can be extremely similar.

Does a roof lantern need planning permission?

It really depends on different factors. For example, if the roof lantern is part of a new extension it may be allowed under permitted development rights. If the roof lantern is replacing an existing roof, then chances are you won’t need planning permission. Feel free to get in contact to get advice.

Is a veranda a balcony?

Typically, no. Veranda’s are usually constructed at ground floor level, whereas balconies are elevated walkways or standing areas attached to the side of a building or interior wall.

Is the whole range available at my nearest showroom?
