Orangeries in Lancashire

Covering Lancashire

Our orangeries service in Lancashire covers Preston, Burnley, Blackburn and Blackpool and more.

Homes in the North West

Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.

What goes into 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 much should I budget for an orangery?

Indicative costs for orangeries. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

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 England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

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 can affect an orangery?

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.

How does the project run?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

Questions about an orangery in Lancashire

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.

Can you visit a house in Lancashire 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.
