Step by Step

These 12 steps will give you an insight into the level of skill and time that we place into building a conservatory.


The site of the proposed conservatory.	Foundations are dug and concrete is poured into the trench to form the foundations.	The inner leaf of the cavity wall is built up to floor level.	Hardcore is then laid and compacted. A layer of sand is laid over the hardcore to prevent sharp stones puncturing the damp proof membrane, which is placed over the sand and lapped onto the inner leaf of brickwork.

Concrete is laid to bring the slab up to floor level. The concrete is then floated to a smooth surface suitable for tiling or carpet.	The outer leaf of the wall is built. In this example, artificial stone is used to match the house.	The inner leaf of the cavity wall is built to complete the basework. The same material as the outer leaf has been used to provide a feature stone finish.	Soon after the completion of the base, our fitters begin the installation of the framework.

After the PVCu external cill has been fitted, the wall and side frame erection begins. On completion of the frames the structural aluminium eaves beam is fitted to the top of the frames.	The PVCu thermally clad aluminium glazing bars and ridge system and quickly assembled.	The roof glazing panels are then installed and the side frames are glazed after the roof is complete.	The completed conservatory.
