Orangeries
Orangeries combine the light of a conservatory with the structure of an extension. Ideal for dining, living, or office spaces, they feature full-height walls and flat roofs with lanterns. Our bespoke designs use premium materials like hardwood, uPVC, and aluminium, ensuring year-round usability and aesthetic harmony with your home.
Conservatories
Our conservatories offer classic styles like Victorian, Georgian, and Lean-To, tailored to your space. Available in uPVC, aluminium, or hardwood, they provide versatile living areas. We also offer warm roof conversions to enhance insulation and comfort for all-season use.

Report
We recently moved back to Sherborne to discover our new sofas didn't fit through the hall and into the lounge. Subsequently, we needed the front window removed to get them in.
Colin was over to the house that afternoon and within an hour or so, had the window stripped down and the sofas in the lounge. Thank you so much once again for helping us out (and also taking a lot of the stress out of the move!)
