If you’ve ever thought about adding a conservatory to your home but were put off by the cost, why not consider the DIY option?
This guide assumes that any planning permission approval and building regulations control that may be required has been approved before proceeding.
Once you have decided on the location of your proposed conservatory, it’s size and style, you will need to decide how you are going to build the base and walls (if applicable). There are two options available; the traditional build method where concrete footings are created or a much easier, cleaner and more modern method of using a steel conservatory base which can easily be carried out by anyone with moderate DIY skills, thus making the whole project truly DIY.
The next step is to place an order for your conservatory, at which point, you will be issued with a base plan (if opting for traditional build) or a pad plan (if opting for a steel base, which simply stands on concrete pads or foundation blocks). This will enable you or your local builder to build your base/walls before your conservatory is delivered.
Upon confirmation that you are ready to take delivery of your conservatory, you will be contacted to check all sizes and specifications before manufacture, your delivery scheduled and your conservatory delivered on a mutually convenient date ready for installation by you or your builder.
