Should I build an orangery or conservatory?
Whether you get a conservatory or orangery depends on what you plan to use your space for.
The main difference between them is that orangeries are more substantial, sitting somewhere in between a conservatory and a proper extension. They’re usually built out of brick pillars and have a solid roof, which can either be made of glass or be fully tiled like a standard roof.
The pros of an orangery include:
- Their brick base helps them blend in better with your property
- They’re more energy efficient than conservatories
- They’re considered more aesthetic, and add more value to your property
On the other hand, the pros of getting a conservatory include:
- They’re highly customisable and come in a large range of designs
- They allow more natural light to flood your home than orangeries do
- They’re usually more affordable to install than orangeries

How much do conservatory builders cost to hire
How much you end up spending on your new conservatory depends on a range of factors, including the conservatory style, the type of roof you want (glass, polycarbonate or tiled), the conservatory style (lean-to, Victorian, Edwardian, gable-end), and where you live in the UK.
In general, you can expect to pay anywhere between £20,000 and £60,000 on a new conservatory. Orangeries start at around £45,000 and can cost upwards of £80,000.
For more information about conservatory and orangery prices, read our 2023 conservatory replacement cost guide. Or, if you only need to replace your conservatory roof, read our 2023 conservatory roof replacement cost guide.
Planning permission for conservatory jobs
To install a conservatory without having to apply for planning permission, your conservatory needs to conform to the below rules:
- Only half the area of the land around your home can be covered by the conservatory
- Your conservatory can’t be higher than the highest part of the roof on your home / higher at the eaves than the existing eaves
- Your conservatory can’t create an alteration to your roof
- Your conservatory can’t be built forward of the ‘principal elevation’, or where it fronts a highway, the ‘side elevation’
Orangeries are subject to the same rules as single storey extensions. To avoid applying for planning permission for your orangery, you’ll need to ensure it falls under the permitted development rights outlined on the Planning Portal website.
For more information, read our planning permission guide, or ask a local conservatory installer for advice.
Questions to ask conservatory builders near me
Are you licensed and insured?
Make sure to ask your conservatory specialist what insurance they have before you hire them. While it’s not a requirement, it’s a good idea for them to have public liability insurance to cover both of you against any accidental damage done to your home or personal injuries. This will guarantee protection for both parties and ensure your tradesperson is legally compliant.
How many years of experience do you have?
Knowing how many years of experience your conservatory installer has will allow you to pick a tradesperson who you are confident has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a conservatory builder through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
How long will the job take?
Knowing what your project’s estimated timeline is will help you set realistic expectations about how long your window replacement will take to complete.
How much will the job cost?
Asking how much the job will cost will help you budget for your project and will ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.
Do you use subcontractors? If so, are they licensed and insured?
If your conservatory specialist is planning on using subcontractors, then it’s a good idea to confirm the insurance coverage of everyone who will be working on the project, so make sure you ask before you hire.

Catalin was meticulous with his measuring. He worked tirelessly and came back at night the following day to finish the job because it rained on the Sunday afternoon so we were unable to finish. The slabs have been laid perfectly. He was smart and methodical in his approach to paving the tiles. The end result looks great and just as I'd hoped for. Reliable. Tidy. Accurate. And a fair price. Thanks Catalin.

Mathew contacted me and came to see the job the same day, he then started the job two days later. I cannot praise him and alistairs work highly enough from keeping me informed as to what he was doing to the finished job which was absolutely spot on. This was first time on rated so I was obviously a bit dubious but these guys laid all that to rest. My neighbour was that impressed that he is painting her house next week. Keep up the good work lads you are a credit to your trades. Cheers. Martin Moran
Scott did a fantastic job of plastering my hall where some panelling was removed and over a few cracks in the walls. He did more than was required of him, he is very friendly and always on time. I would certainly use for any future plastering jobs that require to be done. Thanks
