How Much Does a Conservatory or Orangery Cost?

How Much Does a Conservatory Cost?

When you're considering having a conservatory built, you need to carefully weigh up the practicalities of such a project by considering:

• Price - What will it cost? How will you pay for it? What additional costs might be involved, such as building or cosmetic work to the adjoining conservatory site?
• Practicalities - How much planning is required by you? Will you have to temporarily rearrange the way you live or alter the layout of your home? Will you require planning permission?
• How long it will take? - When do you want it completed? How will the weather and time of year affect building timescales?

By choosing a member of the 'Ultra Installer Scheme', all these questions will be answered for you in one-to-one discussions and in the full proposal you will receive from any prospective installation company.

What Are Conservatory and Orangery Prices Based On?

• Size

Possibly the biggest factor when discussing the cost of conservatories and orangeries - it stands to reason that the bigger your conservatory, the more materials required, the more it will cost. Obviously, the size of your property, the location of the build and the additional space you need should help you decide the size of the area available to build upon.

• Design

Conservatory or orangery, contemporary or traditional, there are a number of designs to choose from, and there are different prices associated with each one. Your nearest Approved Ultra Installer will be able to advise you on the best option for your home, allowing you to optimise the space that you have in the best way. 

• Materials

From the frames to the sides to the roof, again, the options are varied in style and cost. Starting with frames, the majority of people choose either uPVC or Aluminum, with a small number choosing Wood. Depending on whether you prefer a contemporary or classic design will dictate which material you prefer to use, but there are significant cost differences between each.  

• Walls

You can choose from fully glazed, dwarf or full height walls. once again the location of the construction on your property may dictate some of your choices, but also your design preference plays a significant part in the cost of your project. Full height glazing, for example, is becoming more popular as it complements contemporary bi-fold or sliding doors, allowing for a modern finish.

• Roof

Whether you choose a glass roof, or a solid roof or a mixture of both, the quality and type of material used can drastically affect the costs of your conservatory or orangery. Again, this will depend on you and your requirements for the room. You will need to take into account the thermal performance of the roofing materials and the location of any roof lights to create a warm, bright room.

• Extras

Once you have thought of what you require for the basic structure of the orangery or conservatory, there is then a list of options that you could add to ensure the design is exactly what you wish for. This means you’ll be able to bring a new addition to your home that stands as an accurate extension of your character.

This list includes:

• Internal Lighting Systems
• Internal Pelmets
• Ventilation
• External Cornice (to hide guttering)
• Decorative, insulating columns
