Covering Bridlington
Bridlington sits 24 miles north of Hull, with Driffield 12 miles to the south-west and Hornsea 12 miles to the south.
Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Stone-built terraces are typical of many West Yorkshire towns, while red brick dominates in Hull and much of South Yorkshire, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension here.
What do you get with an orangery?
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 or permitted development check
- Foundations, brick piers and insulated base
- Glazed roof lantern and windows or doors
What will an orangery cost?
Typical ranges for orangeries. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

Planning and building rules in Bridlington
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?
- 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 happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
Orangeries: common questions
How much does an orangery cost?
Typically £3,000 to £4,800 per square metre including VAT, or around £50,000 to £70,000 for a 16 m² orangery.
Does an orangery need building regulations?
Usually yes, because it is built as part of the house rather than as a separated conservatory.
Who deals with the council for a project in Bridlington?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
