Conservatories
More and more people are turning to Diy conservatories than ever before, why? Well firstly they are inexpensive and high quality; you can save £1000’s just by building the base and erecting the conservatory yourself. A few years ago this type conservatory was poor quality softwood, no locking systems and only single glazed, but today its different these buildings are manufactured from high grade uPVC which the colour will never fade. All the windows and doors have multipoint locking systems and the windows are double glazed with antisun glass and are sold with a 10 year guarantee.
Diy conservatories are manufactured in many different designs, Victorian, Edwardian, garden room, combination and many more, we have spoken to various people who have built their own conservatory this is what they have to say. “I am an electrician so I am quite good with my hands but had a limited budget as we have 3 children and short of space we were told about Diy conservatories and thought they would be an ideal solution.
We went and viewed various conservatories to get an idea what we wanted, and purchased from a local company it took about 6 weeks from start to finish and when it was finished all our friends thought our conservatory was one that was supplied and fitted by a local company. We are very pleased with our conservatory and would recommend anybody with a tight budget to look into it”.
