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.

How is an orangery approved in Grantham?

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 should Grantham homeowners check first?

Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
Heating should be part of the house system, not a plug-in heater.

Your questions answered

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.

How long does it take to build?

About 8 to 14 weeks on site.

Can you visit a house in Grantham 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.
