The Difference
What Makes a Luxury Conservatory Different
Luxury conservatories are not standard conservatories with a higher price on them. The difference sits in things you mostly cannot see once the room is finished: the structural calculations behind the span, the glass specification, the way the frame meets the brickwork, and whether the room holds its temperature in January.
We build luxury conservatories in aluminium, hardwood timber and uPVC, and the material is chosen for the house rather than the price list.
Hardwood Timber
Suits period and listed properties where a metal frame would read wrong.
uPVC
Earns its place where budget and maintenance matter more than sightline width.
What stays constant across all three: the engineering
Thermally broken frames, high performance glass, concealed drainage, and a base built to carry the structure properly. That is what separates a luxury conservatory from one that looks similar on day one and does not on year five.

What Makes a Room Outside Conservatory Different?
A conservatory is a glazed extension with a predominantly glass roof and walls, designed to bring natural light into your home while connecting your living space with your garden. Every Room Outside project is individually designed around your home’s architecture, your lifestyle and your budget.
We work in timber, aluminium and premium UPVC, and offer New Generation Glass, an advanced glazing option designed to help manage solar heat, natural light and winter comfort. If you are comparing extension types, you can also explore our glass box extensions and orangeries.
Room Outside has been designing and installing conservatories across the South of England since 1973. That experience shapes everything from planning advice to material specification and long-term aftercare.

Insured Guarantees
Depending on product and location, up to a 10-year structural guarantee may apply, with separate warranties for glazing, roofing and components.
Planning Expertise
We assess Permitted Development, planning applications where required and Building Regulations routes so there are fewer surprises later.

Choose Your Style
Which Conservatory Style Suits Your Home?
The right style depends on your property, how you plan to use the space and the visual effect you want to achieve. Here is a practical guide to help you choose.
From £28,000
Victorian Conservatory
Choose this if your home has period character and you want the conservatory to look like it has always been part of the building. The multi-faceted bay front adds architectural presence and creates an elegant, light-filled sitting room or entertaining space.
- Multi-faceted bay front with decorative cresting
- Suits period homes, townhouses and character properties
- Ideal as a sitting room, reading room or entertaining space
From £25,000
Edwardian Conservatory
The most practical choice if usable floor space is a priority. The rectangular footprint means furniture, dining tables and sofas can be placed easily against straight walls, which is harder with curved bay designs.
- Rectangular layout for easy furniture placement
- Versatile – suits most property ages and styles
- Particularly effective as a kitchen-diner or family living space
From £25,000
Lean-To Conservatory
The right choice when height is restricted. If you have a bungalow, single-storey rear extension or low eaves, a lean-to design works within those constraints without compromising light or space.
- Low-profile roof – ideal where height is limited
- Clean, contemporary aesthetic
- Suits bungalows, height-restricted plots and modern homes
From £45,000
P-Shape Conservatory
Consider this when you want two connected but distinct living areas within a single extension, for example a kitchen-dining space that flows into a separate sitting area or garden room.
- Creates two distinct zones in one extension
- Needs a wider rear elevation to work well
- Suits larger homes where a single room would feel too modest
From £50,000
T-Shape Conservatory
A design for properties where the conservatory needs to match the scale and ambition of the existing building. The central projection creates strong architectural presence from the garden.
- Central projection for visual impact and multi-aspect light
- Proportionally suited to larger, substantial properties
- Often used as a grand living space or garden entertaining room
Material Choices
Timber, Aluminium or Premium UPVC?
The material you choose affects how your conservatory looks, how it performs and what maintenance it will need over the years.
Hardwood Timber
Timber is the natural choice for homeowners who want warmth, depth and craftsmanship. It suits Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and country homes where the conservatory needs to feel like a considered part of the original architecture.
We use hardwoods selected for stability and long-term durability. Timber can be stained, painted or left natural. It does need periodic repainting or re-oiling, but well-maintained hardwood can last 50 years or more.
Natural warmth and depthExcellent thermal insulationBest for period and character homesAluminium
Aluminium frames are slim, strong and highly durable, which means more glass area and cleaner sightlines. This makes aluminium a natural fit for modern, contemporary and minimalist homes where the views should dominate.
Its strength also helps with larger openings, wide sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling panels. Thermally broken profiles, powder-coated finishes and very low maintenance make aluminium a long-term option.
Slimmest frames, most glassVirtually zero maintenanceBest for contemporary homesPremium UPVC
Modern premium UPVC has moved well beyond basic white frames. Today’s profiles offer strong thermal efficiency, reliable colour retention and refined finishes including woodgrain and flush sash options.
The defining advantage is easy ownership: no repainting, no oiling and no special treatment. It is a strong practical choice when you want good performance with minimal maintenance.
Effectively zero maintenanceStrong thermal efficiency25-35 year expected lifespanNew Generation Glass: the year-round comfort option
All conservatories can be specified with New Generation Glass, an advanced glazing option designed to help block up to 80% of solar heat gain while maintaining high light transmission. The practical aim is a room that stays noticeably cooler in summer and warmer in winter, with better comfort than older conservatory glazing.

Verified Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Independently verified reviews from Google. These are real homeowners sharing their experience of working with Room Outside.
“I recently moved into a house with a conservatory put up by Room Outside twenty five years ago which had never been serviced during that time and was in an extremely bad condition. It has needed a complete renovation carried out by the excellent service manager Matt and assistant Warwick. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and paid great attention to detail in all aspects of the work with the result that I am totally delighted with the appearance of the restored room – truly a five star service resulting in a beautiful room.”
“We are absolutely delighted with our experience with Room Outside and cannot recommend them highly enough. Richard Bennett guided us all through the design process with patience, professionalism and integrity. The end result is beyond what my client imagined – a beautiful, high-quality glass extension that has transformed their home and given space they can enjoy all year round.”
“We recently had a bespoke conservatory at our Victorian west London home and the results have exceeded all our expectations. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the experience was seamless and professional. The space is now the heart of our home, flooded with natural light, offering a tranquil view of the garden. They truly understand how to balance heritage aesthetics with modern functionality.”
Expert Answers
Conservatory FAQs
Straightforward answers to the questions homeowners ask most often.
The difference sits in what you cannot see once the room is finished: the structural calculations behind the span, the glass specification, the way the frame meets the brickwork, and whether the room holds its temperature in January. Thermally broken frames, high performance glass, concealed drainage and a properly engineered base are what separate a luxury conservatory from one that looks similar on day one and does not on year five.
A bespoke conservatory from Room Outside typically costs from £25,000 to £60,000+, depending on project size, style, materials and site requirements.
Most conservatories fall under Permitted Development Rights and do not require a formal planning application, provided they meet criteria around project size, height and proximity to boundaries.
New Generation Glass is an advanced glazing system designed to help block up to 80% of solar heat gain while maintaining high levels of natural light.
A typical project takes 8 to 12 weeks from confirmed order to completion. More complex designs or projects that require planning approval may take longer.
Conservatories offer maximum natural light and garden connection. Orangeries provide a more built-in architectural feel with a solid perimeter roof and central lantern.
Depending on product and location, Room Outside offers up to a 10-year structural guarantee alongside product-specific warranties.
With modern double glazing and New Generation Glass, Room Outside conservatories can achieve U-values as low as 1.2 W/m2K for the roof and 1.4 W/m2K for walls.
Timber conservatories can last 50+ years when maintained, aluminium structures 45+ years, and premium UPVC 25-35 years.
