Orangeries in Suffolk

Covering Suffolk

We cover Suffolk, including Ipswich, Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill, and the towns around them.

Homes in the East of England

Across the East of England, newer estates often have integral garages and room for rear extensions, while older towns have Victorian terraces and conservation areas that shape what can be built.

What is included in an orangery in Suffolk?

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 is an orangery approved in Suffolk?

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.
Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
