Conservatories

Conservatories that earn their place all year round.

Edwardian and Victorian classical styles. Modern garden rooms. Solid-roof builds that read as proper rooms, not glass boxes.

A conservatory should feel like a room you use in February as much as in June.

We draw the classical styles — Edwardian, Victorian, lean-to — in their original proportions, and the modern ones — garden rooms with solid roofs, contemporary glazed pavilions — from scratch. Heating, ventilation and shading are part of the drawing, not bolted on later.

And where a conservatory sits in a conservation area, we already know what the local planning officer will accept before you start. We've had the conversations.

01 · Edwardian

Edwardian

A rectangular floor plan with a hipped pitched roof, ridge and finials in the original Edwardian proportions. Powder-coated aluminium posts, cast lead detail on the ridge, glazing bars to match the windows of the parent house. Particularly good behind a flat rear elevation where the conservatory is the visible architecture.

Rectangular or square floor plans up to 6m × 5m.
uPVC or aluminium frames; lead-clad ridge details.
Underfloor heating and discreet trickle ventilation.

Best for: Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces, and any home with a flat rear elevation.

02 · Victorian

Victorian

The faceted bay-end conservatory, with a three- or five-facet front and a hipped pitched roof rising to a central ridge. Cast finials at the apex, lead detail across the ridge, ornate ridge cresting where the parent house can carry it. The Victorian style suits a deeper garden and a house with strong original detail.

Three- or five-facet bay-end footprints.
Ornate ridge cresting and cast finials, drawn from period catalogues.
uPVC or composite frames.

Best for: Victorian terraces, period villas, and houses with deep rear gardens.

03 · Garden Room

Garden Room

A glazed pavilion with a solid or partly-glazed roof, sized and proportioned as a room rather than a conservatory. Slim aluminium frames, large fixed panes, an integrated set of bi-fold or sliding doors opening to the garden. Used as a dining room, a sitting room, a quiet office.

Slim aluminium or composite frames; large fixed glazing.
Solid or partly-glazed roof, with rooflights where appropriate.
Integrated bi-folds, sliders or French doors to the garden.

Best for: Modern rear extensions, new-builds, and contemporary additions to older homes.

04 · Solid Roof

Solid Roof

A solid tiled or slated roof on the conservatory means a room you use in February. We design the roof structurally as a normal extension roof, with insulation, a vapour barrier, and ceiling finishes inside. Rooflights bring in the same light a glass roof would, but the room holds heat properly.

Tiled or slated roof to match the parent house.
Plastered ceiling inside, with rooflights for daylight.
Thermal performance close to a brick-built room.

Best for: Year-round use, north-facing elevations, and any conservatory that wants to read as a room.

05 · Combinations

Combinations

P-shaped, L-shaped, and one-off footprints that wrap around a rear corner of the house. Combinations are drawn from scratch — we don't pull a shape out of a catalogue. They suit corner returns, awkward boundaries, and homes where a rectangular extension would dominate.

P-, L- and T-shaped footprints, drawn to the existing plan.
Mixed roof pitches and ridge configurations.
Combined classical and modern elements where the brief asks for it.

Best for: Corner returns, awkward boundaries, and architecturally complex rear elevations.
