Modern conservatories are fully insulated and heated — not the 'freezing in winter, boiling in summer' rooms of the 1990s. ### Who it's for Homeowners who want extra living space without the cost of a full brick-and-block extension. Families needing a garden room, dining room, playroom or home office. ### When to book it The right time is when you'd use the extra room every day — not as an occasional summer space. Modern glazing and roof options make year-round use realistic. ### Why it matters who fits it Ultra Frame is our roof system of choice because the structural performance and thermal detailing genuinely stand up. A conservatory is only as good as its roof. What Goes Wrong ## What happens if you leave it — and what most people get wrong A badly built conservatory is a decade of regret. It's cold, it leaks, and it sits unused most of the year. The Risks - • Old polycarbonate roofs turn yellow, leak at the ridge, and roast the room in summer sun. - • Poorly insulated dwarf walls let cold up through the floor and around the base of the frames. - • Undersized structural ridge beams sag over time, opening seals and admitting water. - • Uncontrolled solar gain in south-facing conservatories makes the room unusable May–September. Common Mistakes - • Buying on price without checking the roof spec — the roof is 80% of what makes a conservatory work. - • Skipping proper Building Regs sign-off on the base and dwarf wall. - • Cheap polycarbonate glazing instead of self-cleaning solar-control glass or a tiled warm roof. - • Fitting radiators into a conservatory taken off the house heating system without checking the boiler can carry it.

Site left clean, old frames removed, care advice given, guarantees registered with Assure. Benefits ## What you actually get — not marketing talk ### Year-Round Use Modern glazing and roof options mean the room works in January as well as July. ### Real Living Space Add a dining room, playroom, home office or garden room at a fraction of the cost of a brick extension. ### Structural Ultra Frame Roof Engineered ridge beam and rafter system — no sagging, no leaks, no visible bows years later. ### Solar-Control Glazing Self-cleaning glass with a solar-control coating cuts summer overheating and keeps the roof clean. ### Choice of Roof Type Glass roof for maximum light, tiled warm roof for maximum insulation, or a hybrid — advised at survey. ### Property Value A well-built conservatory adds real usable floor area and, done right, adds to the value of the property. The Detail ## How we spec & fit conservatories A conservatory is a base, a set of frames and a roof — but the engineering and detail on the roof and dwarf wall are where most conservatories fail. ### Materials & systems #### Ultra Frame Roof System Structural aluminium ridge and rafters with insulated eaves, engineered to carry snow and wind loads without sag. Available as glass, polycarbonate or solid tiled. #### Frames Eurocell or Spectus uPVC frames, or Alunet aluminium — matched to the house's existing windows for a consistent look. #### Roof Glazing Pilkington self-cleaning solar-control glass — the standard for conservatory roofs today. Cuts overheating and stays clean. #### Dwarf Wall Cavity brickwork with insulation, tied into the existing house wall and finished internally with plasterboard on studwork. ### How we install - Ground checked, foundation dug and poured to Building Regs — no shortcuts here, the whole structure sits on this. - Base and cavity dwarf wall built and DPC integrated with the house. - Ultra Frame roof set on a wall plate bolted through into the existing masonry — no leaking flashings. - Frames plumbed and squared, glazing loaded room by room. - Electrics, radiators and any French/bi-fold doors fitted last, then the whole room tested for water tightness before hand-over. ### Variations & options #### Edwardian Square or rectangular plan with a hipped or gable roof. Maximum usable floor area — best for dining and living rooms. #### Victorian 3 or 5-faceted front with a hipped roof. Classic look, best for period properties. #### Lean-To (Mediterranean) Single-pitch roof running off the house wall. Modern, minimal, ideal where a full pitched roof would exceed permitted development. #### P & T-Shape Combines two shapes for larger footprints — a lean-to kitchen extension joining an Edwardian dining area, for example. #### Tiled Warm Roof Solid insulated roof with lightweight tiles — turns a conservatory into an extension in feel and performance. ### Situations we typically fit this for - Rear extensions where a conservatory is faster and cheaper than a brick-and-block build. - Side returns on Victorian and Edwardian houses where a lean-to conservatory adds a dining or kitchen area. - Bungalows where an Edwardian conservatory adds a family room without touching the roof line. - Replacing tired 1980s and 1990s conservatories with modern warm roofs and updated glazing. - Garden rooms and home offices where a solid tiled roof is fitted for insulation and privacy.

Base, brickwork, frames, roof, glazing, electrics and plastering are all itemised in your quote. ### Do I need planning permission? + Most conservatories are permitted development, but rules vary by property (listed buildings, conservation areas, previous extensions used up your allowance). We check at survey and advise clearly. ### How long does building take? + From dig-out to keys, typically 4–6 weeks for a standard conservatory, longer for tiled-roof designs or larger footprints. ### Are modern conservatories usable in winter? + Yes — with modern glazing, proper insulation and heating, they're comfortable year-round. The 'freezing greenhouse' problem was 1990s polycarbonate roofs, not modern designs. ### Glass roof or tiled roof? + Glass for maximum light; tiled for maximum insulation and privacy. Hybrid roofs (part glass, part tiled) give you the best of both. We advise at survey based on how you'll use the room. ### Does the roof need cleaning? + Self-cleaning solar-control glass sheds most dirt with rain. An annual clean of the gutters and any low-pitch areas is enough for most installs. ### What guarantee do I get? + 10 years on the structure and frames, 5 years on glazing, 1 year on hardware — plus the Assure Insurance-Backed Guarantee. ### Will a conservatory add value to my home? + A well-built, properly insulated conservatory adds usable year-round living space — but a badly built one can put buyers off. Quality of build matters more than size. ### Can you replace an old conservatory roof? + Yes — retro-fitting a warm tiled roof or upgrading old polycarbonate to modern solar-control glass is a common job. Full replacement isn't always necessary. ### Do you build conservatories across North Wales? + Yes — Chester, Deeside, Mold, Buckley, Flint, Wrexham, Ellesmere Port, Neston and the surrounding areas. ## Add Real Living Space — Priced and Planned Properly We survey the site, advise on roof type, style and permissions honestly, and give you a fixed written quote covering the whole build.
