An orangery sits between a conservatory and a full extension. Substantial piers in brick, stone or render carry an insulated flat perimeter roof, with a glazed lantern set into the middle to bring daylight down into the centre of the room. The result feels like part of the original house rather than something added to the back of it.
The practical advantage over a conservatory is usable wall. Kitchen units, a sideboard, radiators, a television — all the things that are awkward in a fully glazed room have somewhere to go. The insulated perimeter also holds heat like the rest of the house, so the space works as an everyday room rather than a seasonal one.
Everything we quote, we survey, install and guarantee ourselves. If you need a repair to something we did not fit, we are not the right people — and we will say so on the phone rather than waste your time.
Piers built in brick matched to the existing elevation, the most common approach on Gloucestershire’s Victorian and Edwardian housing stock.
Natural or reconstituted stone piers for period and conservation-area properties across the Cotswolds.
Smooth render and slim aluminium glazing for a modern rear elevation with maximum glass.
Designed around a new kitchen layout, with the lantern positioned over the island or dining end.
A quieter, more separate space at the end of the house, often with bi-folds opening the whole elevation.
Two lanterns across a wider span, keeping the roof proportion right on larger openings.
Stone matched to the existing elevation on a period property.
The full rear elevation opens onto the terrace in summer.
The raised glazed lantern set into an insulated perimeter roof.
Slim aluminium sightlines for maximum glass area.
Call or send an enquiry and Mike will talk through what you are planning, the property and whether we are the right fit.
We measure properly, check the base, drainage and access, and discuss what will genuinely work on your elevation.
A fixed price with the full specification set out — frames, glazing, roof build-up, groundworks and finish. If it is not included, it says so.
Our own teams fit the project, we register it with FENSA where applicable, and Mike inspects the finished job before we invoice.
We install across Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bishops Cleeve, Tewkesbury and Stroud and the surrounding villages, all from our Cheltenham base.

An orangery has substantial brick, stone or rendered piers and a flat insulated perimeter roof with a glazed lantern in the middle. A conservatory is predominantly glazed with a fully glazed or solid roof. An orangery feels more like part of the house and gives you far more usable wall space.
Often not, but it depends on size, position, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. We check this at survey and tell you plainly whether an application is needed before you commit to anything.
Yes. Matching the existing elevation is a large part of what makes an orangery work, and the brick, stone or render specification is set during the design stage.
Typically three to six weeks on site including groundworks and brickwork, depending on size and specification. You get an indicative programme with the written quote.
Generally yes. The insulated perimeter roof and solid piers reduce the glazed area considerably, so the room retains heat far better than a fully glazed conservatory of the same footprint.
No. We only take on full design-and-install projects that we survey, fit and guarantee ourselves.
