"People often ask how they can add an extension or rebuild their unusable conservatory in the most efficient way possible – hup! is definitely the answer. Basework is usually the biggest minefield and the biggest headache for homeowners, so having something where you can use the existing base, and don’t need to start digging down and just build, getting watertight in two or three days, it’s an absolute game changer."
Homeowner Sarah Walsh and her partner Steven have recently chosen the hup! building system to ‘hup!grade!’ their tired, unloved conservatory into a stunning new extension that has completely transformed the space and the way they live in their home – in a matter of days!
Sarah and Steven’s conservatory had stood unloved and unused for some years. They felt that the polycarbonate roof and dwarf walls didn’t fit with the modern feel of the rest of their home and over time, the guttering had become distorted which further added to the dated exterior look.
On the inside, the lack of temperature regulation from the polycarbonate and outdated frame technology meant that the room had become unused and nothing more than a dumping ground.

Watch Sarah explain how her and her partner transformed their unloved and unused conservatory into a modern open plan extension that is now the heart of their home.
Lucy lives in a 1930’s semi-detached property in Lancashire, which the previous owner had lived in for 40 years. She bought the house as a complete renovation project, working through every room to transform it into a contemporary home.
A key part of the renovation was the addition of an extension to create a modern open-plan kitchen/diner. As Lucy neared the time for her extension plans to become a reality, the revolutionary new hup! building system was launched and Lucy knew it was the perfect choice for her project.
Lucy was keen that the extension should be in keeping with the 1930’s property and chose a simple lean-to style topped off with a hup! tiled roof with full-length glazed panels. The old kitchen and dining room were knocked together and with the hup! extension, this created a large open plan room.
Within the extension, a cleverly concealed pocket door provides access into a utility room which also features a glazed panel in the roof, meaning that all of the wall space is usable for cupboards. The exterior was finished in white render and a large set of anthracite grey bi-fold doors.
