Honest answers to the questions we hear most. No jargon, no runaround.
Conservatory roof replacement
No. Every installation is carried out by our own team, working to our own standards. We never use subcontractors, so you get the same quality and care on every job.
Yes. In most cases we fit a new warm roof onto your existing frame, walls and base, so there's no need to rebuild. We'll confirm during the free survey.
Most roof replacements fall under permitted development and don't need it. The Guardian system is building-regulation compliant and we handle the certification, flagging anything unusual at the survey.
Not unless you want it to. A tiled warm roof can include roof windows or glazed panels to keep natural light coming in while still transforming comfort.
Most warm roof replacements take a few days, depending on the size of your conservatory and the finish you choose. We'll give you a clear timescale before we start.

Doors
No. Every installation is carried out by our own team, working to our own standards. We never use subcontractors, so you get the same quality and care on every job.
Composite doors have a solid timber core bonded with insulating foam and a durable outer skin, which gives them superior rigidity, security and insulation. uPVC doors are lighter, more affordable and still offer excellent performance for most homes. We'll help you weigh up the options without pushing you toward the more expensive choice.
Most single door installations are completed within a day. Bi-fold and patio door projects may take a little longer depending on size and scope. We'll give you a clear timeline before any work begins.

Conservatories
No. Every installation is carried out by our own team, working to our own standards. We never use subcontractors, so you get the same quality and care on every job.
Most conservatories fall within permitted development rights and don't require planning permission, as long as they meet certain size and siting conditions. We'll assess your project during your home visit and flag anything that might need attention. If planning permission is required, we can advise on the best approach.
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but most conservatory builds are completed within two to four weeks once work starts on site. We'll give you a clear programme before anything begins.
Yes. If your conservatory feels too cold in winter or too hot in summer, a replacement roof is often the most cost-effective way to transform it into a comfortable, year-round space. We offer tiled, warm and glass roof options.
A conservatory is predominantly glazed. An orangery has more solid wall structure, typically with a central roof lantern, and feels more like a proper room extension. We'll help you work out which is right for your home and budget during your free home visit.

Extensions
No. Every installation is carried out by our own team, working to our own standards. We never use subcontractors, so you get the same quality and care on every job.
It depends on the size, height and position of the proposed extension. Many single storey rear extensions fall within permitted development rights and don't require formal planning permission. We'll assess your project during your home visit and advise on the planning position from the outset.
Timescales vary depending on the scope of the project. A straightforward single storey extension might take four to six weeks on site; a larger double storey or more complex build will take longer. We'll give you a clear programme at the quote stage.
In most cases, no. We work carefully to minimise disruption and maintain access to the rest of your home throughout the project. We'll talk through the specifics at the planning stage.
Older properties can sometimes reveal unexpected issues once groundwork begins, but our experienced team is well equipped to handle them. We'll always explain the situation clearly, discuss the options and agree on the best approach before any additional work proceeds.
