Covering Dewsbury
We work in Dewsbury (WF12) and the places around it, including Batley, Ossett and Morley.
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 does an orangery involve?
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

Planning and building rules in Dewsbury
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.
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.
From first call to completion
- 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.
- 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.
Orangeries: common questions
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.
Can it be used in winter?
Yes. It is insulated and heated like any other room.
Can you visit a house in Dewsbury 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.
