Frequently Asked Questions
-
What's the best way to add more living space to my home?
It depends on your property, the space available and how you'd like to use the new room.
A SIP extension can create substantial additional space integrated with your home, while a garden room creates a separate space within your garden. Conservatories and orangeries are ideal if natural light and a strong connection with your garden are particularly important.
If you're unsure, we can help you compare the options and find the right approach for your home.
-
What's the difference between a conservatory and an orangery?
Conservatories generally feature a greater proportion of glazing, while orangeries tend to incorporate more substantial walls and structural elements alongside large windows, doors and roof glazing.
Modern designs can vary considerably, so we'll help you explore which style best suits your home and what you want from the space.
-
Are SIP extensions quicker to build?
The main structure of a SIP extension can be assembled quickly because the panels are precision-manufactured before arriving on site. This can significantly reduce the time required to construct the structural shell compared with many traditional building methods.
The overall project timescale will also depend on elements such as groundwork, roofing, glazing, electrics, plumbing and interior finishes.
-
Will I need planning permission?
This depends on the type and size of the project, your property and the work being proposed.
Some projects may fall within permitted development rights, while others may require planning permission. We'll discuss the requirements relevant to your project rather than assuming the same approach applies to every home.
