What is a DIY conservatory?
A DIY conservatory is supplied as a complete kit that you install yourself or with the help of a local builder. It allows you to add extra living space at a lower cost than a fully installed conservatory.
What is included in a DIY conservatory kit?
Our DIY conservatory kits typically include the frame, roof system (glass, solid or polycarbonate), glazing bars, fixings, and detailed installation instructions. All components are made to measure.
Do I need experience to install a DIY conservatory?
You don’t need specialist experience. Our DIY conservatories are designed for competent DIYers, with clear instructions and support available if needed.
Can I choose between glass and polycarbonate roofing?
Yes. Our DIY conservatory kits are available with solid, glass or polycarbonate roof options. Allowing you to choose based on appearance, performance, and budget.
Are DIY conservatories made to measure?
Yes. Every DIY conservatory is manufactured to your exact dimensions to ensure a proper fit for your home.
Do I need planning permission?
Many DIY conservatories fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. However, rules vary depending on your property, so we recommend checking with your local authority.
Can a DIY conservatory be used all year round?
With modern materials, insulated roofing options, and suitable heating or ventilation, many homeowners enjoy their DIY conservatory throughout the year.
How long does installation take?
Installation time varies depending on size and experience, but many DIY conservatories can be installed over a few days. A local builder can also fit the kit if preferred.
