Glass Extension FAQ

Common Questions About Glass Extensions

Find clear answers to the questions homeowners most often ask about bespoke conservatories, orangeries, and luxury glass extensions in the UK.

Room Outside conservatories typically start from £25,000. Most bespoke conservatories, orangeries, and glass extensions range from £25,000 to £60,000+, depending on size, design, glazing specification, site conditions, and location.

The best conservatory company for your project should offer proven craftsmanship, clear guarantees, strong customer reviews, bespoke design, and practical planning guidance. Room Outside specialises in premium glass extensions, conservatories, and orangeries using New Generation Glass.

Many conservatories and glass extensions can fall under Permitted Development rights, provided they meet the relevant limits and conditions. Listed buildings, conservation areas, flats, maisonettes, and larger designs may need extra checks, so we recommend reviewing the project before work begins.

New Generation Glass is Room Outside’s advanced glazing specification, designed to improve thermal comfort, reduce glare, and support year-round use of conservatories, orangeries, and glass extensions.

Most standard conservatory installations take around 6 to 10 weeks once approvals, surveys, and manufacturing are complete. Larger or more complex orangeries and glass extensions can take around 10 to 14 weeks.

We generally offer a 10-year structural guarantee on conservatories and glass extensions, alongside product-specific warranties for glazing, roofing systems, frames, and other materials.

Our consultation can include:

  • A home visit with a design specialist
  • Bespoke design advice tailored to your property
  • 3D visualisations, drawings, and specifications
  • Planning guidance before the project moves forward
  • Material samples and a written quotation

Orangeries usually cost more than traditional conservatories because they often include more brickwork, structural detailing, roof lanterns, and integrated building work. A typical orangery may cost around 20 to 40 percent more than a comparable conservatory.

Room Outside focuses on bespoke design, premium glazing, experienced installation, planning support, and long-term performance rather than off-the-shelf conservatory packages.

Modern glass extensions are designed to be low maintenance. Regular glass cleaning, gutter checks, and occasional inspection of seals and drainage channels usually keep the structure performing well.
