Thermally advanced

Our advanced glazed extensions can achieve some of the best energy ratings around thanks to the perfect combination of premium brickwork, insulating uPVC, and premium aluminium components. More energy saving features to be aware of include cutting-edge thermal technology and substantial insulated pillars. Furthermore, a traditional roof lantern will flood your new orangery with warming natural light to notably reduce lighting and heating bills.

If you’re looking for an upscale alternative to a conservatory to extend your floorplan and enhance the connection between your home and garden, modern orangeries and extensions (like ours!) hold the key to your future happiness. More efficient, stronger, and often lasting longer than a conservatory, both orangeries and extensions can be designed to complement your home's unique architectural style with ease - from contemporary to classic and everything in between.

Added value

Depending on its size, style, and bespoke design features, orangeries and extensions can also add more value than conservatories; typically adding anywhere between 5-15% (or more!). Even better, subject to limits, planning permission may not be required to build your dream orangery or extension. Custom-designed and made to your unique specifications, if your improvement project does require planning permission, we can take care of all of this for you.

The difference between conservatories and orangeries

The key difference between orangeries and conservatories is centred around their structure and use. Orangeries are primarily constructed with brick and have solid, flat roofs featuring central glass lanterns, which aid in heat retention and improve energy efficiency. Due to their more substantial build, orangeries require building regulation approval before construction begins.

Offering a practical and adaptable space, orangeries can accommodate furniture more flexibly than conservatories, making them ideal for kitchens or open-plan living areas. They also provide options for enhanced aesthetics, such as cornice guttering, bifold doors, full-height windows, and customisable finishes to match your Essex home’s style. In comparison, smaller conservatories often bypass planning permission requirements if built within certain proximity limits to the main house.
