DIY Conservatory choice advise please

We have an old wooden framed lean to style conservatory with some kind of polycarbonate sheets as the roof.
It runs the width of our 1970s semi from the end of the living room to the end of the kitchen and makes a very usable extra space/utility room.
The aluminium windows seem to have come from a potakabin and the aluminium sliding double door is very much passed it's working life.
There is a full height sloping end wall at one end and dwarf walls along the front and at the other end.
I am a reasonably skilled DIYer but have no experience of DIY lean to (or any other style) conservatory assembly.
Can anyone suggest a good supplier please?
Thanks for looking any help will be very much appreciated,
Bern

    I can heartily recommend Centurian, they do DIY only.
    I used them for a 6 x 4 mtr conservatory, free standing so technically an "orangery".

    They offer a bespoke service, you supply the layout and sizes etc they do the rest.
    Price was absolutely excellent as was quality, lead time and after sales.
    The telephone link to there technical guy was used a couple of times and he knew his stuff.

    Can't praise then enough, now about 2 1/2 years old and no issues.

    Try looking at http://www.centuriondiyconservatories.com/conservatory-quote/?gclid=CPqx6IC8078CFULmwgodYX0AIg
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    All I do is pass on past experience, good or bad. No hearsay from me.:beer::beer:

    If you want I can send pics to you by email, but regardless they are exactly what the DIYer wants
