conservatories

Cherryjack

Hello,

I have a 3 bed terrace and was wondering how much conservatories are? Just thought id ask.. I would love one on the back of the house..

Can anyone recommend a company to look at? :beer:

Suggest you indicate where you are located in the UK and then maybe someone can recommend?

Maybe also search on here all the threads about conservatories and many downsides to tehm as well as some ups. A proprer extension (which tehse are not) may suit your use better?

Don't do it build a proper extension with lots of windows. They are too cold in winter and too hot in summer. On average there are 36 days a year when conservatories are useful.

Not sure where you get that figure from, anyway I would say we use our conservatory for at least 10 months out of 12, I was very unsure about having one but now it is one of the most used rooms in the property we eat most of our meals in it, we love sitting out there especially at breakfast watching the birds and wildlife in the garden.

With good ventilation we certainly don't find it too hot in summer, we are in one of the mildest areas of the country so there are only a few days when it gets too cold to use in winter, wouldn't be without it now.

Edit:- Temperature in conservatory now is 22c, that is without any heating on all day.
