Orangeries in Morecambe

Covering Morecambe

Our coverage around Morecambe (LA4) also includes Lancaster, Fleetwood and Ulverston.

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.

Do you need permission for an orangery in Morecambe?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 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 Morecambe homeowners check first?

An orangery open to the house needs to meet energy rules, which limits the proportion of glazing.
Heating should be part of the house system, not a plug-in heater.

What are the steps?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
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.
Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

What people ask before starting

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.

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 Morecambe 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.
