Timber Orangeries and Garden Rooms
Transform Your Home with Stunning Orangeries & Garden Rooms
Discover a stunning way to add space to your home
Timber conservatories and orangeries are among the finest house extensions available to homeowners, perfect for anyone looking to expand their living space in a practical and aesthetical way.
We’ll work to your exact specifications, producing a final product that will be fully tailored to you. In addition to choosing the style and dimensions of the extension, you can also customise the timber used, finding a shade that unifies with the rest of your home.
Our conservatories and orangeries deliver fantastic thermal efficiency as standard. Unlike the old uPVC conservatories from the turn of the century, ours do a superb job of retaining heat during winter, rather than letting it escape without resistance. This makes it much easier to warm the extension or orangery through during winter, allowing you to get year-round use without excessive heating bills. They manage this thanks to insulating materials, partnered with high-performance double glazing.
Our timber conservatories and orangeries require very little maintenance, assuming they are correctly looked after. The right upkeep will ensure maximum durability, promising years upon years of enjoyment from your extension. This makes them a significant upgrade on old timber conservatories. High-quality roofline ensures a consistent flow of water and waste away from the extension, while the finishing treatment lasts longer, thanks to innovative fade-proof technology.
Timber Conservatories
Timber conservatories are among the most popular house extension options on the market today. Easily distinguished by a dwarf brick wall and large glazed areas, they offer homeowners a year-round social space which feels bright and airy.
Visually, these extensions are stunning in design, thanks to the rustic blend of brickwork with a high-quality timber framework. By using timber for the profile, these extensions deliver heightened performance levels compared to a uPVC build.
Orangeries
Orangeries differ in that they use more brickwork and less glazing than a conservatory. They offer heightened privacy levels and deliver a true ‘room-like’ appeal. They are becoming increasingly popular, making them a valuable asset to both residential and commercial projects.

In many cases, small orangeries and garden rooms fall under permitted development rights in the UK, meaning planning permission isn’t required. However, larger builds, properties in conservation areas, or listed buildings may need approval. It’s always best to check with your local planning authority or get professional guidance before starting.
