CONSERVATORIES

The majority of time, conservatories can be built without the need for planning permission.

In most cases, homeowners in the UK can build a conservatory without the need for planning permission, if they adhere to the outlined Permitted Development guidelines. However, it’s essential to ensure that your conservatory plans comply with these regulations to avoid any legal issues in the future.

If you’re uncertain about your specific situation, seeking advice from the expert team at Clearview can provide the clarity you need to proceed confidently with your conservatory project.

A good quality conservatory should last decades.

The lifespan of a conservatory can vary, but with proper care and attention, you can expect it to last for a long time. Investing in a trustworthy installer who uses quality materials, regular maintenance, and responsible usage can significantly contribute to extending the life of your conservatory.

Upon the completion of your installation, we will furnish you with a guarantee certificate encompassing a comprehensive coverage summary, covering both movable and non-movable components.

Our ability to present such an all-encompassing guarantee stems from the meticulous design and manufacturing of our products, ensuring their enduring quality. Through the provision of a 20-year guarantee, we aim to furnish homeowners with the assurance and exceptional value they seek.

Add value to your home with a Clearview conservatory.

Adding a conservatory to your home can increase its value, provided it’s well-designed and integrated into your existing structure. A high-quality conservatory offers additional usable space, such as a versatile living area or home office, which appeals to potential buyers. Natural light and energy-efficient features can further enhance its appeal and comfort.

The impact on value depends on factors like location and market trends. In areas where conservatories are popular and in demand, the value addition can be more significant. Adhering to local regulations and ensuring proper maintenance are crucial to preserving the value of your conservatory-enhanced property. To get an accurate estimate of the potential value increase, consult local real estate professionals familiar with your market.

There are so many potential uses to a conservatory.

A conservatory offers a versatile and adaptable space that can serve a variety of purposes, making it a valuable addition to your home. One common use is as a bright and welcoming extension of your living area. It can be transformed into a cosy lounge, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the natural light. Alternatively, you might opt for it to be a spacious dining area where you can savour meals while being surrounded by the beauty of your garden.

Moreover, a conservatory can make for an excellent home office or study space. Its abundant natural light provides a refreshing environment for focused work, and its connection to nature can enhance creativity and concentration.

This multifunctional space can also be a recreational haven – a place to house indoor plants, create an art studio, or set up a small home gym. Whatever your needs or interests, a well-designed conservatory can cater to them while letting you enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather.

The benefits of adding a conservatory to your home.

Installing a conservatory can bring a host of benefits that enhance both your living space and your overall lifestyle. One compelling reason to invest in a conservatory is the added space it provides. Whether you need a sunlit reading nook, an extended living area, or a versatile home office, a conservatory offers a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments. This expanded space not only increases your property’s value but also enriches your daily life by creating room for relaxation, socialising, and pursuing hobbies.

Beyond the functional aspect, a conservatory brings the beauty of the outdoors indoors. With its large windows and transparent walls, a conservatory allows you to bask in natural light, enjoy panoramic views of your garden, and experience the changing seasons from the comfort of your home. This connection to nature can have positive effects on your mood, well-being, and overall quality of life.

Additionally, modern conservatories often incorporate energy-efficient features that regulate temperature, making them comfortable year-round and potentially reducing energy costs. Whether you seek a tranquil sanctuary, a place to entertain guests, or a haven for plants and creativity, a conservatory provides a customisable space that harmonises with your needs and enriches your daily living experience.

Find the right conservatory design to suit your house style.

Choosing the right conservatory style that suits your house is essential for creating a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing addition to your home.

The lean-to conservatory is a versatile option that often works well for single-storey houses. Its clean lines and simple design make it a great fit for modern and minimalist architectural styles. Its slanted roof can also seamlessly blend with existing rooflines, creating a natural extension that doesn’t disrupt the overall flow of your home’s design.

For more traditional or period-style homes, the Edwardian or Victorian conservatory designs might be better suited. The Edwardian style features a square or rectangular shape with a pitched roof, offering a symmetrical and classic appearance. It complements a wide range of house designs and can provide a timeless touch.

The Victorian style, characterised by its elegant bay-curved front, suits houses with a touch of history or Victorian architecture. Its ornate details and distinct shape can add character and charm to your property.

Ultimately, the choice of conservatory style should consider your house’s architectural aesthetics, ensuring that the addition complements rather than contrasts with the existing structure, enhancing the overall kerb appeal and value of your home.

We can help you find the perfect roof for your conservatory.

Choosing the right roof for your conservatory is crucial to achieving the perfect blend of aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. Several options are available at Clearview Home Improvements, each with its unique advantages.

Tiled roofs are an excellent choice for conservatories in regions like the North West, where weather can be unpredictable. These roofs offer exceptional insulation, keeping your conservatory warm in winter and cool in summer. They also blend seamlessly with the surrounding architecture and provide a cosy, homely feel.

Glass roofs are ideal if you want to maximise natural light and create a bright, open space. They offer breathtaking views of the outdoors and make your conservatory feel like an extension of your garden. Modern glass roofs come with advanced insulation, ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Flat roofs can give your conservatory a sleek, contemporary look. Incorporating skylights into flat roofs allows you to enjoy the benefits of both natural light and energy efficiency. This combination is especially appealing for minimalist designs.

Lantern roofs are a stylish choice that adds a touch of elegance to your conservatory. They provide ample natural light from above, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere. Lantern roofs are often used in Victorian or Edwardian-style conservatories.

Ultimately, the best roof for your conservatory depends on your personal preferences and architectural style. Consider consulting with a professional at Clearview Home Improvements to assess your specific needs and make an informed decision that will help you fully enjoy your conservatory space.

First, our skilled surveying team will visit your property to assess the site, take precise measurements, and ensure that the chosen design is suitable for your space. This visit is also an opportunity for you to discuss any specific preferences or changes you’d like to make before the work begins. If your project requires planning permission, our surveyor will gather all necessary information and submit the relevant planning drawings on your behalf.

Clearview will handle the entire planning application process, including the submission of all essential drawings and technical details to your local council.

We take full responsibility for project management. Our team will create a detailed schedule of works and coordinate all building and fitting teams involved in your project. Your dedicated project manager will also discuss any site-specific requirements, such as power or water access, to ensure a smooth start to the project.

Our building team will work closely with you to discuss brick matching, ensuring that you’re satisfied with the chosen style. Once the building work is completed to your satisfaction, we’ll proceed with the installation of your frames and/or roof, ensuring precision and quality.

After installation, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that every detail is perfect.

Get an idea of what to anticipate at your conservatory appointment.

During your conservatory design appointment, you can expect a comprehensive consultation with a Clearview advisor who will guide you through the entire process. While you’re not obligated to, measuring your conservatory space ahead of the conversation can be beneficial. Even rough measurements will suffice initially, and Clearview will assist you in this process for accurate measurements.

During the appointment, you’ll discuss your thoughts, ideas, and specific requirements for your conservatory. Clearview aims to gather in-depth information about your home and what you envision for your new space. This includes factors like design preferences, intended use of the conservatory, and any unique features you desire.

Clearview’s advisors will use your input to create a tailored design plan. Once the design is finalised, a professional installer will visit your property to take precise measurements, ensuring that the replacement conservatory is a perfect fit for your space. This meticulous approach guarantees that your Clearview conservatory will meet your expectations and seamlessly integrate into your home.

You have a range of options to suit your preferences and space.

The choice of doors and windows for your conservatory depends on your preferences, the available space, and the overall design concept.

French doors offer classic elegance, while patio doors provide a wide view. Triple track doors create expansive openings, and bi-folding doors maximise natural light and open your space entirely. Each door style offers its unique blend of aesthetics and functionality, allowing you to seamlessly connect your conservatory with the outdoors while enhancing its overall appeal.

Similar to doors, windows play a vital role in conservatory design. Consider adding large, energy-efficient windows to allow ample natural light to flood in. You can choose from various window styles, such as casement, bay, or tilt-and-turn, to complement your conservatory’s aesthetic.

Each option provides its unique blend of functionality, aesthetics, and practicality to create the perfect ambiance in your conservatory. Consult with an advisor at Clearview to determine the best combination of doors and windows that suits your specific needs and style.
