Homes in Lanarkshire

In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.

What is included in an orangery in Lanarkshire?

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 much does an orangery cost in Lanarkshire?

Typical ranges for orangeries. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

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

Do you need permission for an orangery in Lanarkshire?

Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered. Whatever the planning position, you need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate at the end.

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.

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 Lanarkshire 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.
