Tthe first big decision to make is whether to opt for conservatories or extensions for your Manchester home. Extensions are very popular in Manchester these days, as they offer a year-round living space which can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Conservatories and extensions will also add value to your home improvement project in Manchester.
Things to consider when thinking about adding conservatories in Manchester are: what do you want to use the room for, Planning Permission/Building Regulations, and the type of roof you will have. An extension is usually typified by the fact that there are no locking doors between the new living space and your existing home. It is also generally agreed that an extension is defined by the roof being solid – possibly with some glazed areas – but not all glazed as with a conservatory.
Conservatories are a different option for your Manchester home in that the roof will be largely glazed as opposed to largely solid. You may have to consider the often-cool climate of Manchester when considering a conservatory to ensure that you choose a specification of conservatory that will ensure it is warm enough during the colder months of the year.
If you’ve decided to opt for a conservatory or a home extension in Manchester, you’ve made a great choice. Now, there are now lots of exciting decisions to make about your home improvement project. The first thing to think about is which room of your home your extension will come off and what the new space will be used as. Many conservatories and home extensions are used as open plan kitchen/living/dining spaces, allowing your family to live, eat and entertain all together in your Manchester home.
In terms of roof choices for conservatories and extensions, there are various options available in Manchester:
It’s important when planning a conservatory or an extension in Manchester to think about the overall look you want; this may help you to decide on the roof type. Flat roofs are a contemporary option and the addition of flat or lantern skylights not only provides a sense of drama but also ensures that your home is flooded with plenty of natural light. Pitched roofs will make your new extension feel even bigger but are not always possible due to planning permission requirements – your local Building Control office will be able to advise you further on this.
No matter what type of extension roof you choose for conservatories and extensions in Manchester, there is an Ultraframe tiled or solid roofing system that can make your home extension dreams a reality.

It is crucial when choosing conservatories in Manchester to think about the often-cool climate and ensure that the glazing in the roof of your new conservatory is highly energy-efficient so that your conservatory will be a comfortable temperature, whatever the weather.
