Q: We can't see the conservatory we want on this website or in one of your brochures, does that mean we can't have it? 

A: Since all conservatories are made to order, you can have anything that's physically achievable. 

 

Q: Can I use my conservatory all year round? 

A: Modern conservatories, with insulated bases and cavity walls, which feature double glazed and thermally efficient roof, can be used all year round. The thoughtful use of heating will also help. comfort levels can be further enhanced our "Conservaglass", this is a revolutionary new type of glazing that is specially developed to keep conservatories warmer in winter, by retaining heat, and cool in summer by excluding solar radiation. 

 

 

Q: Do we need building planning permission or building regulation approvals?  

A: Probably not. Planning permission isn't usually required unless you're adding a conservatory to a house that has already been extended. You may also need to check the age of your home as developers of new build properties sometimes have restrictions placed upon them. We will help with permissions.  

 

Q: Do we need to install Insulating Double Glazing Units (IGU's), and if so, which ones? 

A: On April 1st 2002, the government introduced Part L, amending the Building Regulations for the first time, to require replacement windows and doors to meet tough new thermal performance standards. The new standard applies when new doors replace an existing window or when you change the doors between the house and the conservatory, but not when you keep the existing lockable french doors or patio doors between a house and conservatory. 

 

Q: How soon can we have our conservatory? 

A: The average turnaround is six to ten working weeks from placing the order in writing (depending on the weather or if planning permission is required). 

 

Q: Our neighbours aren't friendly, how can we protect our privacy? 

A: Conservatories can be made private by the thoughtful use of obscure glass, solid side panels, blinds or even a solid wall on one side. 

 

Q: We've got an odd shaped space/an unusual wall/a sloping garden. Can we still have a conservatory? 

A: By using a system as flexible as ours there's almost always a solution to your problem, and chances are we will come up with several alternatives.
