Costs and included work
For timber conservatories, compare the scope first: foundation, opening into the existing building, building envelope and finish level. A price is useful only when supply and finishing work are clearly defined.
| Work / price basis | Starting indication | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Timber conservatories | Price on request | Foundation, opening into the existing building, building envelope and finish level |
What affects your total?
A garden conservatory and a heated living space have different foundation, glazing, frame and climate-control requirements. Ground conditions, span, glazing, connections to the house and access determine the work. Kitchens, sanitary fittings, building services and interior finishes are included only when specified.
What to send with your request
Send dimensions, photos of the facade and garden, the proposed layout and available drawings. Include your postcode, preferred schedule and the elements that must remain, so the scope can be assessed.
Choose the complete design
Discuss the roof, glazing, opening windows, doors and ventilation together. Consider solar exposure and how the space connects to the existing rooms. Frame material alone does not determine comfort in every season.
Timber and maintenance
Ask which timber and coating system are specified and how exposed junctions are detailed. Maintenance requirements depend on the product, finish and location. Keep the supplier's care information with the project records.
Prepare the existing building
Foundations, floor level, drainage and any facade opening need assessment. Coordinate structural work and required permissions before manufacturing bespoke elements.
Compare like-for-like prices
Use the same size, glazing, roof and finish when comparing quotes. Separate foundations, the conservatory structure, services, access and reinstatement so a low supply price is not mistaken for a complete project price.
