Costs and included work
For upvc 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 |

| uPVC 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.
Layout and opening sections
Decide where doors and windows are needed and how people will move between the house and garden. Compare fixed glazing with opening elements, including handles, thresholds and access requirements.
Comfort and exposure
Consider sunlight, shading and ventilation when choosing glass and roof materials. Discuss how the room will be heated or used in different seasons. Avoid assuming one frame material resolves every comfort issue.
Foundations and interfaces
Have the proposed foundation, floor levels and facade opening assessed. The junctions with the house and drainage should be included in the design, with permissions checked for the actual location.
A complete specification
Ask for product details, dimensions, reinforcement where specified, installation and finishing. Compare disposal, access and building alterations separately from the conservatory supply cost.
