Orangeries

The cost of your orangery can vary depending on the size, design, materials and roof style you choose. A small, straightforward orangery may start from around £15,000–£20,000, while larger bespoke designs with lantern roofs, bifold doors and premium finishes can cost significantly more.

The groundworks, electrics and internal finishing could also influence the final price.

The orangery cost depends on several factors, including the structure’s size, roof design, materials used and complexity of installation. For example, aluminium frames, large lantern roofs and bi-fold doors may increase costs, while smaller designs with standard glazing are usually more affordable.

Ground preparation and access to your property can also influence the final price. Professional installation ensures your orangery is structurally sound, energy efficient and built to last. Choosing experienced installers also helps avoid costly issues later, making it a worthwhile investment for homeowners looking to add value and usable space.

Yes, modern orangeries are designed for comfortable use throughout the year. Solid structural elements combined with high-performance glazing help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This means your orangery stays warm in winter and comfortable in summer.

With insulated roofing sections, advanced glazing and quality construction, an orangery feels more like a traditional extension than a conservatory. This makes it ideal for everyday living, whether you’re using your orangery as a dining room, lounge, office or family area.

In many cases, orangeries fall under permitted development, so planning permission may not be needed. This depends on the size, height and location of your orangery, as well as the type of property you live in.

It’s always best to check before starting your project. Our team can guide you through the process and help ensure your orangery works with current building regulations for complete peace of mind.

Orangeries are typically more expensive than conservatories because they include more brickwork and insulated roofing. This helps create a space that feels more like a permanent extension, offering improved thermal performance and year-round comfort.

While the upfront cost may be higher, many homeowners choose orangeries for their durability, performance and premium appearance. They can also add value to your home and create a more versatile living space.

The installation time for an orangery depends on a number of things, including the size and the complexity of the design. Most projects take between three and six weeks, including groundwork, construction and finishing.
