Bespoke uPVC conservatories to suit any home

Because of its natural insulation properties, uPVC is ideal for creating a living environment that can be used comfortably throughout the year. This makes it an excellent material for building conservatories. However, uPVC is also robust and super easy to keep clean, so you can expect the new space to last with very little effort on your part. Whatever your reasons for wishing to add more living space to your home, you can’t go wrong with a uPVC conservatory, and they are available in all popular styles and a variety of colours. They even come in a selection of woodgrain foil finishes, so you can enjoy the practical benefits of uPVC but the beauty of timber.

Add a touch of class to your home with an aluminium conservatory

A more recent addition to the conservatory market, aluminium conservatories have quickly become highly sought after by homeowners in and around the Greater Manchester area. Featuring slim frames and large expanses of glass, these modern structures look remarkably stylish and allow for natural light to flow inside unabated. As aluminium is resistant corrosion and one of the sturdiest materials around, any conservatories built from it will last and last too, all with the absolute minimum of upkeep on the homeowner’s part.

Planning permissions for conservatory extensions

If you’re considering getting a new conservatory installed, you may be wondering about planning permissions. As of 2019, planning regulations were relaxed so that more property owners are able to extend their home without having to apply for planning permissions. However, there are certain criteria that needs to be followed.

Single story extensions are covered by these new permitted rights as long as the extension doesn’t exceed the original home by more than 3m on attached properties. For detached homes, the extension shouldn’t extend the rear of the original home by more than 4m.

There are however some exceptions to the regulations, such as properties based in conservation areas which have stricter building regulations. If you are unsure about the planning permissions for your specific property, our experts will be able to provide tailored advice and guidance and let you know the best glazed extension solution for your home.

Do you need foundations for a conservatory?

Yes, a conservatory requires foundations to be built properly and safely. The type of foundation needed will depend on the size, weight, and design of the conservatory, as well as the type of ground it will be built on.

In general, there are two types of foundations used for conservatories: shallow foundations and deep foundations.

How big can a conservatory be without planning permission?

In the UK, the maximum size of a conservatory that can be built without planning permission depends on various factors. Generally, if you own a detached house, the conservatory can be up to 4 meters in depth from the original rear wall of the house and up to 8 meters in width. For semi-detached or terraced houses, the conservatory can be up to 3 meters in depth from the original rear wall of the house and up to 6 meters in width.
