Orangeries in Wilmslow

Covering Wilmslow

Alongside Wilmslow, we also cover Cheadle Hulme, Altrincham (6 miles to the north-west) and Macclesfield.

Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

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.

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

What approvals does an orangery need in England?

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 can affect an orangery?

Timber-look aluminium or timber frames suit period houses.
Heating should be part of the house system, not a plug-in heater.
