Conservatories

Conservatories, sunrooms what ever you call them are becoming much more popular. Conservatoires are a great way of creating extra living space in your home without having to spend out huge amounts of money.

Historically, conservatories were originally called greenhouses and were used for the cultivation of plants. However with modern construction techniques it is now possible to build conservatories that are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Conservatories provide a living space where you are able to enjoy the view of your garden, even when the great British summer is pouring with rain. Conservatories can provide office space, additional dining areas or a sitting room for relaxing in.

Essentially conservatories are building extensions made predominantly out of glass, they can be constructed out of a variety of materials so it is important to make sure that the conservatory you choose is in keeping with the rest of the house.

Conservatories, even if constructed by you, cost a considerable amount of money, starting at around £5000 and can cost anywhere up to £15-20,000. Ensuring you have sufficient funding available to cover the costs of constructing your conservatory is of paramount importance. See our Conservatory funding page for more details.
