5 Things To Keep In Mind Before You Build A Conservatory
At Joinery For All Seasons, we aim to create the conservatory of your dreams.
In this blog post, we would like to share the top 5 things to keep in mind before you build a conservatory.
1. Design
It’s important to have a design idea for a new conservatory so it suits with the house. This will depend on what you want to use it for, i.e. play room, study, dining. Also consider how often the conservatory will be used, especially during winter season.
2. Ventilation and Heating
3. The Roof
4. Planning Permission
The main points to consider before you start your conservatory project:
- No more than 50% of the original land around your property can be covered with additions.
- You cannot add an extension if your property is facing a highway.
- Your conservatory should not be any bigger than 3 metres for a semi-detached house, and 4 metres for a detached house.
5. Conservatory Base type
Concrete base
- Ideal for installing under floor heating
- Easy to build
- Good for long term use
Steel Base
- Ideal for areas that has restricted access i.e. sloping areas
- No need to remove drains or soils
- Cost effective
- Quicker to install
