Covering Bletchley
Our coverage around Bletchley (MK3) also includes Milton Keynes (3 miles to the north) and Leighton Buzzard.
Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What is included in an orangery in Bletchley?
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
- Insulated roof perimeter with plastered pelmet
- Heating, electrics and decoration-ready finish

Do you need permission for an orangery in Bletchley?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.
What can change the price or programme?
- Solar-control glass in the lantern stops summer overheating.
- Heating should be part of the house system, not a plug-in heater.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
