What is included in an orangery in Brecon?
An orangery is a single-storey extension with brick piers or walls, large windows and a glazed lantern set into a solid, insulated roof. It sits between a conservatory and a full extension: lighter than an extension, warmer and more solid than a conservatory.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Planning or permitted development check
- Insulated roof perimeter with plastered pelmet
How much should I budget for an orangery?
Typical ranges for orangeries. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

|---|---|
| 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 |
What approvals does an orangery need in Wales?
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.
What should I think about before starting?
- An orangery open to the house needs to meet energy rules, which limits the proportion of glazing.
- Solar-control glass in the lantern stops summer overheating.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
