Tips For Buying A Self-Build Conservatory In Torquay

By Ania Stan


To some, taking on a self-build conservatory project may seem too daunting an undertaking, however it is not so difficult if you are prepared and you could save yourself some money. A good quality self-build conservatory in Torquay can cost as little as half that of one installed by a professional company. A self-build conservatory should come in a kit and the parts will be designed specifically for ease of construction and be of high quality.

The following tips should help you feel more confident about finding a quality self-build conservatory in Torquay and assembling it.

* Get a reputable supplier - Ideally one that installs as well as provides conservatories so that you can get specialist advice, should you need it.

* Design considerations - The first choice to make is based on the style of your home. Is it traditional or period in style, or more contemporary? Traditional style conservatories tend to be more complicated in design, whereas modern designs usually have a basic square or rectangle structure coupled with a flat, lean-to or pitched roof. The simple lines make for easier construction. Make sure to get advice on the best design for your home and regarding how difficult the construction may be.

* Other features - If you find a traditional conservatory too complex it is possible to get a modern self-build and add some traditional features or details to give it the right style. This option is worth thinking about when choosing your conservatory. Also think about getting advice from your supplier regarding these features to see if they will fit with your basic conservatory structure.

* Building Regulations - It is important that your conservatory fits in with building regulations. This needs to be checked prior to purchase and building. A professional installation team would typically do this for you, so with a self-build conservatory in Torquay you will need to check this yourself. There are some general rules that can be found through an internet search but your local authority should be consulted, particularly if your home falls inside a conservation area or you have a Listed building.

* External Areas - You will need to carefully consider your outside area, measuring it and checking it to make sure it can accommodate your conservatory and making a note of any adjustments that will be necessary. An architect or building surveyor can provide advice should you need it. Note that planning regulations apply to destruction of portions of a building as well as construction.

Self-build conservatories are becoming a lot more popular as it is seen as a great way to save money and also means you can add a personal touch to your conservatory. They are a great way to expand your living space and you could also add value to your home.
