Orangeries in South Yorkshire

Covering South Yorkshire

We cover South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, and the towns around them.

Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber

Stone-built terraces are typical of many West Yorkshire towns, while red brick dominates in Hull and much of South Yorkshire, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension here.

What do you get with 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.

Glazed roof lantern and windows or doors

Planning and building rules in South Yorkshire

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. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What should I think about before starting?

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.

From first call to completion

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.
We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Questions about an orangery in South Yorkshire

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.

Do you work in South Yorkshire?

Yes. South Yorkshire is within our coverage for orangeries, along with nearby Sheffield and Rotherham.
