Covering Aberystwyth

Homes in Dyfed
Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What is an orangery?
We build orangeries on proper foundations with insulated walls and roof perimeter, so they can be used all year as a dining room, sitting room or kitchen extension. The lantern size and the frame finish are chosen to suit the age and style of the house.
- Design to suit the house style
- Glazed roof lantern and windows or doors
- Heating, electrics and decoration-ready finish
How much should I budget for an orangery?
Guide prices for orangeries, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Orangeries | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £3,000 to £3,500 per m² |
| Good specification | £3,500 to £4,100 per m² |
| High specification | £4,100 to £4,800 per m² |
How is an orangery approved in Aberystwyth?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Wales has its own permitted development rules, set by the Welsh Government. Small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application, but the limits differ from England's and there is no larger-extension prior approval route, so we check the current Welsh rules for your house before drawings are finalised.
What should Aberystwyth homeowners check first?
- An orangery open to the house needs to meet energy rules, which limits the proportion of glazing.
- Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a mostly solid, insulated roof with a glazed lantern and brick piers, so it behaves like a room of the house. A conservatory is mostly glass.
How long does it take to build?
