However, that said, one time when relationships can become strained is when larger home extension building work is being considered. To simplify matters, the government has introduced legislation, currently covering the period up to May , to increase the size of permitted single-storey rear extension work, at the same time as introducing an associated neighbour consultation scheme. The size limits for single-storey rear extensions under permitted development has increased from 4 to 8 metres for detached homes and from 3 to 6 metres for all other dwellings.
Any extensions within these new size guidelines need to go through the following steps:. Any work then completed must be in accordance with the details provided and within all other relevant limitations and conditions applying — and must be completed by 30 May the developer needs to advise the local authority of this completion. The above is a simple summary to introduce you to the key parts of this new process.
One piece of good news — there is no fee for this! At Trade Price Conservatories we can advise you on the best options for your dream conservatory.

In the winter, the structure captures the energy of the sun, making it quite a warm place to stay in — this could help to save on energy bills during difficult economic times. If you do have any other queries — you may need to know if your garden is suitable to have a conservatory built on it in the first place, or if you want to know if it will have to be piled beforehand — trained advisers will talk you through all these tiny details and more, giving you a no-nonsense consultancy beforehand to give you a detailed lowdown.
Whatever worries you had before will be ironed out in these informal chats, and remember, no question is a stupid question. Conservatories can be versatile rooms, and if you use a little thought and imagination, instead of bringing your home into your garden, you could bring your garden into your home. So, why not consider giving your conservatory a whole new lease of life and turn it into a custom garden room?
This is a way of adopting a brand new and extremely rewarding hobby. Tending plants and vegetables requires attention and dedication, but the rewards when your plants bloom and your vegetables ripen are inspiring.
You need to think about adding a tiled floor and making sure your newly reappointed room has proper drainage. Your plants are going to need suitable ventilation as well, so creating openings within your conservatory is a must. As for the plants themselves, there are several specialist companies who will give you advice and suitable specimens when it comes to filling your new garden room.
If you have a fancy for seeing your fingers turn a vibrant shade of green and to bless your sometimes-forgotten conservatory with a new lease of life, then this is surely the way to go. A grubby conservatory is never going to be pleasant to sit in, but when it comes to cleaning, things can be a little bit tricky.
You may be tempted by their promises of blasting off the dirt in minutes, but using a power washer on your conservatory can be a costly mistake. If you do use one, you could find that your conservatory panels get dislodged and this can be pricey to fix. It uses daylight and rain to break down and wash away organic dirt. Instead, use a ladder to climb up to roof level, use a brush to sweep away any dirt and then use your telescopic window cleaner to reach up to the roof and give it a good wash down.
Gutters can easily become cluttered with leaves and moss so make sure you give these a good clean out — especially in autumn when the leaves are falling. Treat your conservatory with a solution to remove moss and mould. This should be applied after you have swept and washed your conservatory, and it will hopefully help prevent any future build-up.
Check the inside of your conservatory for any moss or mould. If your conservatory is poorly ventilated this could be a problem. For specific information regarding cleaning your conservatory please get in touch with us at Trade Price Conservatories so that we can advise you on your queries. If you are considering having a conservatory built on your garden, you will need to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of such a project.
If you have a sloped garden, you may believe that a conservatory installation will be out of the question. However, contrary to popular belief, a conservatory could actually help you to give your garden a whole new lease of life. A raised base conservatory will provide you with an effective way in which to add light and space to your property, despite your sloped landscape. A raised base will ensure that your walls are able to withstand the weight of your conservatory, and will render your ground type unimportant.
If your land comprises loose and unstable earth that is prone to erosion, a raised base will be essential, as, without it, you would not be able to build your dream conservatory. While a raised base conservatory is associated with a wide range of benefits, it will be more difficult to install than a standard concrete base conservatory.
However, a conservatory will improve both the interior and exterior of your property, therefore, the installation will be worth the expense, and may even add to the value of your property in the long run.
Since a raised base conservatory will be more challenging to install, we advise the use of our reputable staff that have had over 18 years experience. If you plan to install a raised base conservatory, you will not usually require planning permission unless you intend to exceed the permitted development limit for your property, which currently stands at 70 cubic metres in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If, however, you own a listed building or live in a conservation area, the permitted development limit is 50 cubic metres. Your need for planning permission will depend on whether or not your property has been extended in the past.
If you have used up some or all of your permitted development limit, you may require planning permission for your conservatory. Your local authority should be able to confirm whether or not you require planning permission.
If you believe there is an issue such as a sloped garden as we have outlined in this blog, we will work out a solution to meet your needs. Condensation on conservatory windows is a common problem, and can often be worse in the winter when the temperature is lower. Designed to be both watertight and air tight, a conservatory has no natural ventilation and so is prone to condensation — especially when the door from your home through to the conservatory is left closed most of the time.
The best way to keep your conservatory condensation-free is to make sure that the room is well ventilated — and the same applies to the rest of your home too. Keep the room warm and leave the windows ajar slightly: this may seem strange, but it will help the air to circulate throughout the room, banishing your condensation problem. If possible, ventilate your home thoroughly when bathing, doing laundry and cooking, to avoid the unnecessary build-up of excess water.
If you are struggling with very bad condensation in your conservatory, then a dehumidifier will help you to get rid of the problem. Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, thereby preventing it from settling on the windows as condensation. You can either buy a dehumidifier, or choose to rent one. You should also avoid filling your conservatory with too many plants, as they will contribute to the build-up of condensation.
The latter are all good ways to help if you experience condensation in your conservatory but we can offer you an even better solution. Pilkington is leaders in the glass industry and suppliers for our windows for our DIY conservatories.
They have introduced an Anti-Condensation Glass designed to prevent the onset of condensation and improve the view through your windows. Pilkington Anti-Condensation Glass is suitable for a wide variety of commercial and domestic applications in combination with other energy-efficient glass products.

The best flooring for your orangery depends on two things, what you can afford, and how you intend to use the room. If you intend to keep a lot of plants, or if casual dining will take place there, a wipe-clean floor is best.
Linoleum is the budget option and can look a lot better than you might expect, with many different colour options to choose from. Stone flags are the traditional option, from marble at the very top end to more affordable, but still stylish options like slate.
In this event, a carpet is also an option. The easiest thing to replace in an orangery is the furniture. The trick to doing it well is to match the style of tables and chairs to the shapes in the room itself, for instance by choosing tall, straight furniture, if the room has straight pillars and oblong shapes, or chairs with arched backs if it has arched windows.
In a wood-built orangery, repainting the walls is easy. If you have a stone one and are growing tired of the way it looks, consider plastering a feature wall — a job that can be done in just a couple of days. Painting it in a strong, defining colour can add character to the room. If you plan to have plants climbing across a wall, be sure to seal it against damp.
Upgrading the glass in an orangery can be done at surprisingly low cost and can soon start saving you money on heating as well as making it look better. Improved seals on doors and windows also help. Some people also choose to upgrade their doors, for instance by removing old-fashioned patio doors and replacing them with more stylish, better quality bi-folding ones.
These simple changes can make the orangery feel like a whole new room. At Trade Price Conservatories we can help you to restore or improve your orangery and advise on the best options to meet your needs.
