Covering Mid Glamorgan

We cover Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil, and the towns around them.

Homes in Mid Glamorgan

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 included in an orangery in Mid Glamorgan?

An orangery is a single-storey extension with brick piers or walls, large windows and a glazed lantern set into a solid, insulated roof. It sits between a conservatory and a full extension: lighter than an extension, warmer and more solid than a conservatory.

What will an orangery cost?

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

Do you need permission for an orangery in Mid Glamorgan?

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. Small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application, but the limits differ from England's and there is no larger-extension prior approval route, so we check the current Welsh rules for your house before drawings are finalised.

What can affect an orangery?

An orangery open to the house needs to meet energy rules, which limits the proportion of glazing.
Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
