Orangeries in Farnham and Surrey

An orangery gives you the light of a conservatory in a room you can use all year. Solid brick piers and an insulated roof with a glazed lantern keep it warmer in winter and cooler in summer than a glass conservatory.

How we work

From the first visit to the final handover, you deal with one team, and we're there on site.

  1. Site visit and quote

    We come and look at the house, talk through what you want, and give you a free written quote.

  2. Drawings

    Your architect and engineer draw up the plans. We build to their drawings and work with them through the job.

  3. Planning and Building Control

    Once you've arranged the planning, we take the reins and book the Building Control inspections as the project progresses.

  4. The build

    Our dedicated team is on site, and you have one person to call. We keep you updated as each stage is done.

  5. Handover

    We finish, clear up, walk round the job with you, and make sure you get the Building Control completion certificate. You'll need it when you sell.

Questions about orangeries

What's the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?

A conservatory is mostly glass. An orangery has solid walls or piers and an insulated roof with a lantern, so it holds its temperature far better and feels like part of the house.

Do orangeries need planning permission?

Often not, under permitted development, but it depends on the size and position. You arrange any planning that's needed, usually through your architect, before we start.

Can you replace my old conservatory?

Yes. We take the old conservatory down and build an orangery in its place, tied into your house. Unlike most conservatories, an orangery usually needs Building Regulations approval, and we book the inspections as the job goes.
