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.

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.

Welcome to KP building contractors Ltd trading as KP Projects
Great workmanship. I had previously hired Kam about two years ago for a loft conversion and extension at one of my other property. I'd lost his contact details. Very honest man. Thanks Rated People!
Ken was by far the most professional builder that came round to quote for the work. He explained what would be required to complete the work. Including building regs and structural engineer requirements. Therefore we were pleased that ken's quote was slightly cheaper than the others we recieved. The work was completed to agreed timescales and a very high standard with minimal impact and fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending ken and will contact him first before posting a job for future planned work
The company is excellent. Very efficient and helpful. The job was done quickly and very well.
Martin Henley did an excellent job, was friendly and helpful, and excellent at keeping in touch with the progress of the job. Martin turned up on time and carried out a professional job. I would recommend him for any future work.
Job was a new uPVC window for a bathroom. It was quoted for and fitted very efficiently and exactly to spec.
Really happy. Good quote, sound advice, excellent communication. All in all an extremely professional service from honest, considerate and reliable tradesmen. John was fantastic when we had to delay the work for a few months and even kept to his original quote. The work done was to a very high standard and I couldn't be happier. Will definitely use again and have already recommended to friends.
superb, great quality work and very reasonably priced....nice guys too
good work; lots of bits and pieces, genuine bloke.
Tony and his sons came to us to do a fairly small renovation. By the time we had finished adding things on to their list they were with us for over 2 weeks. They took changes in their stride, with good humour and also suggested ways we could save time and money whilst still achieving the look we wanted. And most importantly they were hard working, trustworthy and clean - tidying and wiping down every night before they left. We were so impressed, we have now asked Tony to build our extension.
We are delighted with the work done by Finishing Touches. Vince's team are professional, reliable and simply got on with the job. Eric's dedication to the project was amazing. We are so pleased to have found them. We have passed their details to friends and would recommend the team for any work needing done.
Nick was very helpful when discussing through the options and did the job exctly as described. I'd have no problem recommending Triple CCC Carpentry.
Always here on time, reliable person, would recommand.
We had a day's rendering at the back of our house which needed doing. Andreas was polite, hard working and tidy. He's done a really good job which we're pleased with. I would definitely use his services again.
very good tradesman clean and efficient did extra preparation even though he did not quote for it Would not hesitate to recommend to others.
Very good quality work with unbelievably cheaper price. Very good value for money. Any other work he was not an expert in, he knew other peoples and brought them who could do the job in the best manner. Overall, job very well done, thats why I am giving 5 stars.
highly recommended
Apologies for late review! Very helpful and quick, highly recommended. I will use Scott again for sure.
