Lean-To conservatory ideas

Lean-To conservatories work for contemporary and period properties alike, adding that modern look to your home. Lean-To conservatory designs fall into two broad categories:

1. Full height glass conservatories.
2. Dwarf walls conservatories.

Each of the two categories above has many variations which open up design ideas for your conservatory. Just about everything about your conservatory can be customised, from the construction material (white UPVC, wood, timber-effect UPVC or even aluminium). You can choose the dwarf walls to go with the red brick of your home, or you can go with the full height glass to take advantage of the incredible view of your garden.

Factors affecting Lean-To conservatory prices

Lean-To conservatories vary in price depending on the option you choose. Full height glass conservatories tend to cost less than conservatories with dwarf walls. Although dwarf wall conservatories offer more privacy and security, as well as being sturdier in construction, full-length glass has its advantages too. Benefits of full-length conservatories include more natural light and the uninterrupted views of your garden. Below are some of the factors that will affect how much you will pay for your Lean-To conservatory:

• Glazing options – polycarbonate glass is cheaper than low-energy glass which is dearer.
• Roof type
• Size
• Colour options
• Colours & Finishes
• Windows & Doors
• Conservatory Size
• Planning Permission – very rare for planning permission to be required for Lean-To conservatories unless you live in a period house or a designated area.

When it comes to conservatories, there are two routes you can follow. The first one is purchasing a conservatory kit and then installing it yourself or find an installer. The second option is to request for quotes which include supply and installation. The second option is recommended if you are not an accomplished DIYer and want to have a guaranteed installation. The prices in this section will cover both options.

This part of the article will give you an idea of how much you could pay for this type of conservatory, including supply and fitting.

• Concrete base construction and associated groundwork.
• UPVC framed windows and doors (secure windows and doors with multipoint locks).

Electrical points and other extras to add comfort to your brand new conservatory will cost a little bit extra. However, some of the work can be carried out after the conservatory is in place so you can budget for those after.
