Covering Carmarthen
Our coverage around Carmarthen (SA31) also includes Llanelli, Ammanford and Pontarddulais.
Homes in Dyfed
Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Planning or permitted development check
- Heating, electrics and decoration-ready finish
How much does an orangery cost in Carmarthen?
What orangeries typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| 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 |
What approvals does an orangery need in Wales?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Wales has its own permitted development rules, set by the Welsh Government.
What should Carmarthen homeowners check first?
- 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.

Can it be used in winter?
Yes. It is insulated and heated like any other room.
Can you visit a house in Carmarthen to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
