Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Yorkshire has a strong mix of stone terraces, red-brick semis and modern estates, plus conservation areas in many historic towns and villages.
What do you get with an orangery?
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.
- Foundations, brick piers and insulated base
- Insulated roof perimeter with plastered pelmet
- Glazed roof lantern and windows or doors
What will an orangery cost?
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 |
How is an orangery approved in West 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 West Yorkshire homeowners check first?
- Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
- Solar-control glass in the lantern stops summer overheating.
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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Orangeries: common questions
Does an orangery need building regulations?
Usually yes, because it is built as part of the house rather than as a separated conservatory.
How long does it take to build?
About 8 to 14 weeks on site.
Can you visit a house in West Yorkshire 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.
