In years gone by the conservatory was considered a place in which plants and other matter were grown as they would benefit from the sunlight which would pour in. But over time the conservatory has developed into an area which can be used for so many different purposes and they are increasingly being installed in homes across the country. Below are some examples of how you could use a brand new conservatory:
Extra living room
If you find that you are increasingly running out of room in your home and your current living room is getting cramped for space, then you could extend the living room further by purchasing conservatories in Hereford conservatories in Bristol or conservatories in Gloucester. It will provide you with a great deal of floor space so that you could easily transfer a television and furniture into it.
Dining room
If you fancy eating away from the conventional dinner table, then why not have your Sunday roast or supper in the comfort of a conservatory. No matter what time of the day it is you can be sure that your conservatory will be warm enough so that you can eat within it whatever time you fancy. You could even invite guests round and take them into the conservatory for a dinner party.
Play area for the children
If you have children and you are constantly ending up standing on their toys without spotting them, then why not transfer all their games, toys and computer consoles into the conservatory. It will not only provide you with peace and quiet, but the kids may end up enjoying having their own special room to play in.
This is just a small snapshot of potential ways of using a conservatory as there are many more, the possibilities really are endless.

Conservatory Outlet has built its reputation over the years not just on the quality of products we provide, but also on the affordability of them. Our belief has always been that if a homeowner wants to make an improvement on their home, then they should be able to do it at a reasonable cost wherever they live in the UK. That is why we have built up a portfolio of dealerships up and down the country so that we can be hand to install whatever form of home improvement you require.
With the summer on the horizon, many people are turning to orangeries as they are a great way of both extending their living space and making the most of the sun. As an added incentive we are currently offering up to 30% off all our orangeries, conservatories and double glazing so that you can make your home the best place it can possibly be.
You can also be assured that all of our products promote the very best in energy efficiency as together with you we want to do our bit for the environment at all times. We will also dispose and were possible recycle any old windows that we remove from your property before installing your uPVC replacements.
Our orangeries have been designed so that although they rely heavily on glazing to bring in the sunlight, they are also substantially composed of brickwork so that they do not detract from the overall look of your home. If the sun becomes too strong when indoors or the light is getting into your eyes, then we also provide a range of blinds which can easily be installed.
If you are not familiar with concept of an orangery, then pay a visit to the showroom nearest your home and you will see for yourself just how Conservatory Outlet can make a difference to your property.

If you have been looking at conservatory or orangery designs – you may not be aware of the fact that conservatories and orangeries from Planet Conservatories are easier to build now than ever. Until a few years ago planning permission was necessary and as any homeowner knows, involving your local council in any form of paperwork is a long winded affair.
Today local authorities do not require planning permission for installing a conservatory or orangery to your home in the UK. There are certain conditions that do apply, however overall conservatories & orangeries do not need planning permission if you plan that your conservatory or orangery does not cover more than fifty percent of the land that the home occupies.
- You do not intend to build the conservatory or orangery on the same side of the house that fronts a highway. This rule applies to conservatories on the front back and side, you cannot build one on a side of the house that is parallel to a road.
- You cannot build any part of the conservatory or orangery higher than the existing highest point on your roof – this regulation regarding the height of the conservatory can only be important on a bungalow.
- If you are building a conservatory or orangery solely on the rear of the house than it can only extend beyond the outer wall by three meters if the house is attached to another. However if you have a detached house then the conservatory can be four meters.
- Side conservatory or orangeries can be built up to four meters high and a width of no more than half the width of the original house width. Unless of course the side fronts a highway and then you cannot build one at all.
- The roof height can only be to the first storey if you have more than one story.
- The conservatory or orangery must be closed in it cannot have any other extraneous extensions such as a conservatory balcony or a conservatory verandah. Simply put your conservatory can only be one structure with no conservatory extensions.
- Finally designated land cannot have a rear conservatory or orangery of more than one storey. Cladding cannot be used and side conservatories are forbidden. Designated land means areas of natural beauty such as the Norfolk broads, conservation areas, national parks and world heritage sites.

A conservatory or orangery is something of a ‘must have’ item for many of us today. Whether used as a garden sitting room for dining, as a playroom or just a place to relax it can be a valuable addition to any home.
Whatever your preference you need to choose wisely if you want to gain extra living space that will greatly enhance the value and style of your home.
The alternative can be be a leaking eyesore so it is always sensible to carefully choose quality products and service to the highest safety standards. When it come to choosing a location there are many factors to consider, such as the amount of sunlight your conservatory will receive and convenience of access.
You also need a conservatory or orangery in keeping with the style of the house or garden, with double glazing windows, heating and ventilation other important considerations. Those thinking of filling the conservatory with plants may consider a water tap or maybe even a small pond or fountain. To consider such options have your conservatory has been built is far more expensive.
It is all too easy to go with the conservatory or orangery style you’ll find on a glossy brochure, but find out what other conservatory styles are available in a showroom. Consider to that this is a place where you plan to spend a lot of time, be that pottering with plants or enjoying a leisurely evening with a glass of something refreshing.
Maintenance and safety of your conservatory or orangery are also important and don’t ignore security. Ensure the conservatory or orangery design does not allow glass to be removed easily. PVC doors should be lockable and consider window locks. Finally there are many finishing touches to consider for your conservatory or orangery, from the choice of flooring, lighting and window blinds.
So why not visit a Conservatory or Orangery showroom and ensure you end up with exactly what you want, because the result will be an addition to your home that you can enjoy for many years to come.

Housemaster Home Improvements has joined the Conservatory Outlet Network, marking a significant expansion in the network’s reach.
Conservatory Outlet is widely regarded to be a Yorkshire and Northern-based outfit. However, a recent push by the company’s managing director, Matthew Glover, resulted in widespread interest from companies based in the south.
Clive Brimmell, owner of Hertfordshire’s based Housemaster Home Improvements decided to join the network after learning that Conservatory Outlet was generating leads for the southern half England that didn’t have local member companies available to service them.
After Housemaster Home Improvements was able to prove its credentials as a competent retail company – including owning a showroom – Conservatory Outlet built a modern website (www.housemasterhome.com) for the company, which immediately started to generate business and sales enquiries from website visitors throughout Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire searching for the latest conservatories, orangeries and energy saving double double glazing and doors for their home.
As a result, Housemaster Home Improvements’ first month brought in approximately £250k, compared to £160k for February 2009, knocking aside any worries brought on by a recession.
The rest of the network also has good news to celebrate: leads generated by Conservatory Outlet increased by 32% in February this year when compared to February 2009.
“The internet is a primary generator for conservatory leads,” said Matthew Glover. “People click onto our high ranking websites long before they consider visiting showrooms or inviting round a surveyor.
“By being part of the Conservatory Outlet network, companies like Housemaster Home Improvements are guaranteeing far more interest in their product range from conservatories, orangeries to the latest energy saving double glazing windows and doors.
“What’s more we have proved that it works by generating almost a third more leads this February than we did in February 2009.”

Claiming to be the North West’s most successful conservatory retailer, Conservatory Outlet dealer Clearview Home Improvements has added a third showroom as part of its strategy to boost sales this year by 25%.
Ideally located on a new Warrington retail park adjacent to other home improvement retailers and major retail brands from all sectors, the new Clearview showroom is the result of a £150,000 investment to create what is believed by Conservatory Outlet to be ‘the best retail conservatory showroom in the North of England and probably the UK’.
The showroom contains 8 fully featured conservatories in a range of styles, including a number of orangeries constructed using traditional brick and others using the latest modular components. A range of colours also illustrates the options open to customers, with bi-fold doors bound to provide an attraction to visitors. Every conservatory is fully furnished in a range of styles, designed throughout by a professional interior designer.
Clearview, which was formed just two years ago and a member of the Conservatory Outlet network from day one, has leapt to become the region’s leading retailer installing 60 conservatories a month with a sales value of £7.5 million last year through its existing branches in Preston, Lancashire and Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. The Warrington branch is confidently expected to boost the company’s sales by £2.5 million in its first year.
Clearview Home Improvements, Warrington Showroom
“Clearview Home Improvements fully embrace the ideals and professionalism that we aspire to at Conservatory Outlet,” commented Matthew Glover, the company’s managing director. “It is a superb operation that significantly builds upon the marketing support that we provide by creating its own television and other regional advertising; the rapid growth enjoyed by Clearview is the result of total professionalism.”
Clearview sales director Chris Mitchell believes that the marketing might of being a part of the Conservatory Outlet network has been a keystone in the success of the company: “Between us the directors of Clearview have more than 40 years in the business. But the superb marketing support, including television advertising and the industry’s best internet advertising & marketing team, has helped us become the region’s number one retailer in just two years.”

Some people are wondering what exactly is an ‘Orangery’? The orangeries we sell at Conservatory Outlet are quite like modern, Contemporary Conservatories.
One of the main feature of our Orangeries is that we utilise brickwork or stone columns within the design, so that you don’t need the uPVC conservatory bay pole or corner posts you would normally find with a Conservatory.
Also, we tend to fit internal lighting with downlighters which creates a great look to the inside of the orangery and helps sets it apart from a normal conservatory. To describe the difference easily – an orangery feels more like a glass extension or sunroom with a combination of glazed frames and walls. We normally install a glass roof (or polycarbonate if desired) on our orangeries and there are a range of Double Glazing and Orangery Window options available.
The images shown are taken from examples of installed orangeries and from our showrooms (Conservatories Leeds). We have Modern conservatories set up at all of our showrooms around England and parts of Wales.
There are numerous orangery designs available, including Victorian Orangeries, Edwardian Orangeries and the popular modern oranageries.
A great advantage of Conservatory Outlet orangeries is that they are very affordable. If you are looking to get a quote for an orangery or would like further advice please visit one of our showrooms and speak with an advisor, fill in a free online quote or phone us for free – 0800 915 8844.

When looking for new conservatories, upvc windows or upvc doors be careful! When using the internet to search as it may be difficult to find a trustworthy company.
Watch out!
There are a number of sites offering to put you in touch with local companies to match your needs. A lot of the time the suggestion is that you can get a quote from these companies online for the proposed work, but really the websites are trying to gain your personal information so that they can sell it on to these other companies – that’s right, plural!
This is very problematic. You will be contacted by sales staff, who will pressure you in to a meeting, without you being able to do any research beforehand. This will lead to a high pressured situation in which you’re sitting with a sales person who will put you on the spot there and then. We’ve heard these stories from customers, before they found us.
We feel that if you’re looking for a conservatory quote or a quote for other products such as: p shape conservatories to uPVC windows and uPVC doors, then it’s better to spend a bit of time researching local companies than using lead generation websites. The local companies you find are also a lot more likely to have showrooms near by where you can view the quality in person, instead of relying solely on the sales persons ‘chitter chatter’ – such as our Yorkshire showroom By doing just a little bit of research, you will gain a lifetime of happiness from a quality conservatory, orangery, or even new windows and doors.

A TEESSIDE-BASED bespoke designer of conservatories and orangeries has broken into Europe for the first time after sealing five-figure contracts with two companies in the Netherlands.
Hartburn-based Vetro Vivo – established by qualified draughtsman Mike Farrell two years ago – has also won a six-figure contract to design a new restaurant at Headlam Hall near Darlington and is eyeing up Asia, Indonesia, Dubai and Russia to boost current annual revenues of more than £300,000.
The company is also opening a joinery operation to part-make some products and eventually hopes to bring all manufacturing in-house.
Mike, who spent 12 years working for a major conservatory manufacturer, says: ‘Why keep a business in your back yard when there are opportunities all over the world? We have spent two years building up a UK-wide client base and I see no reason why we cannot tap into projects going on in other countries’.
The name ‘Vetro Vivo’ – Italian for Living Glass – was born from Mike’s passion for producing designs and buildings that make the people within them feel alive. A keen traveller, he has developed a studious eye for different architectural styles in countries such as Australia and Thailand.
