Many homeowners are thinking about making more space in their homes, especially now. Buying an extension isn’t a small or easy choice to make. With many options in materials, sizes & finishes, where do you start? Well, we hope these 3 expert tips can help point you the right direction.
You can extend your home in many different ways from modern conservatories to traditional orangeries. There are many conservatory styles that can work with different homes, but doing some research will give you a starting idea your options. Are you looking for a space with lots of windows, or maybe you want a little more of a seamless finish by choosing a tiled roof conservatory. We offer options like integral blinds & modern roof lanterns to add more style to your new extension.
Modern conservatories come in many shapes & sizes, but it worth also bearing in mind, planning permissions changes depending on size & location. Some extension projects don’t need planning permission as they fall under the “permitted development rights”. This typically includes single-storey rear extensions that do not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than four metres if a detached house; or more than three metres for any other type of house. The Planning Portal offers your this information, but it’s best to visit your local authority website for area-specific guidance on regulations.
Ultimately it’s an investment & will add value to your home, and as it’s essentially a new building it will be a sizeable cost. Property agents On The Market say that conservatories could add up to 10% additional value, but it is area depending. Have a look in Rightmove at what’s on sale in your area and find one that includes an extension of some forms versus a similar property that doesn’t. That should give you a good picture as to how much more value it could add on to your home. You may want to get a few extension quotes & review your options on how to best budget for it. With many personal finance lenders & remortgaging offers for completing home improvements, it means you can have an extension without savings.

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.
Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.
We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.
I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.
Really impressed with the customer service and professionalism from everyone at Techniglaze. Especially liked the follow up call after our doors were fitted to make sure we were happy. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent. This company really care about doing a great job. Roger and Keith have been very helpful and explaining things in detail that a lay person may not understand.
Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.
These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.
First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.
I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
