Many orangeries can be built under permitted development rights, meaning full planning permission is not always required. This usually depends on the size, height, and position of the extension, as well as your property type and location.

However, they still need to be approved by building regulations to ensure they meets safety, insulation, and energy efficiency standards. Your installer will handle these checks as part of the design and build process.

Our orangeries are built using high-performance insulation, energy-efficient glazing and thermally broken frames. Features such as insulated columns, perimeter pelmets and advanced roof systems help retain heat, reduce draughts and prevent cold spots.

When combined with proper heating and professional installation, a modern orangery feels just as warm and usable as any other room in your home, even on the coldest days.

The time needed to build an orangery depends on the design, groundworks, and complexity of the structure. In most cases, installation typically takes several weeks from start to finish once groundwork begins.

This includes foundations, walls, roof installation, glazing, and internal finishing. Your installer will provide a schedule before work starts so you know what to expect at each stage of the build.

An orangery can increase both the usable space and appeal of your property, making it more attractive to future buyers. A well-designed extension that blends with the home can enhance your home’s market value.

Because orangeries create bright, versatile living areas, they are often seen as a premium feature, helping your home stand out compared to properties with smaller or less flexible living spaces.
