Project Overview

The client wanted to extend their living space into the garden with a conservatory that felt substantial and permanent — not a lightweight polycarbonate add-on, but a proper brick-base structure with full glazing and a high-quality finish throughout.

We delivered a full-width rear conservatory with two large uPVC windows flanking central French doors, transom windows running across the top of the full facade, a polycarbonate pitched roof, tiled floor, electrics, garden slabs, and a rainwater drainage channel at the threshold. Everything from the ground up.

Scope of Works

Brick Base Construction

The conservatory sits on a solid brick dwarf wall running the full width of the rear elevation — built in matching stock brick to tie seamlessly into the existing property. This gives the structure permanence, thermal mass, and a finish that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Full Glazing Package

Two large uPVC double-glazed windows flank the central French doors, with transom windows running across the top of the full facade. The result is a wall of light — the interior is bright from every angle, at every time of day. All frames are double glazed for thermal and acoustic performance.

French Doors

Central double French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless flow between inside and outside. Double glazed, secure, and finished in white uPVC to match the window frames throughout.

Polycarbonate Pitched Roof

A pitched polycarbonate roof spans the full structure, allowing natural light from above while keeping the interior weatherproof. The roof is supported on a uPVC frame with clean internal soffits — no exposed fixings, no rough edges.

Floor Tiling

Large-format dark grey porcelain tiles were laid across the full conservatory floor, creating a sleek, low-maintenance surface that handles the transition between indoor and outdoor use without looking utilitarian.

Full Electrical Installation

Lighting and power were installed throughout — the conservatory functions as a proper living space, not just a passthrough room.

Garden Slabs & Drainage

The external patio area was laid with natural stone slabs to create a clean, level surface directly outside the French doors. A linear drainage channel was installed at the threshold to manage rainwater runoff and prevent water ingress — a detail that matters and often gets overlooked.

The Result

A conservatory that earns its place on the property. The brick base, full glazing, and quality tile finish give this extension a solidity that cheaper conservatories never achieve. The client gained a year-round room — not just a summer space — with a garden that finally connects properly to the house.
