The back of my house is south facing, will
it be too hot to have a conservatory? |
|
 |
Not necessarily, there are a number of alternative roofing and glazing
systems that can be used to reduce the heat effectively. It is also desirable
to build in as much ventilation as practicable. |

Will I need planning permission? |
| |
|
There are comprehensive guidelines concerning planning permission, but
simplistically, planning permission is needed if |
| |
|
(a) an extension has been added to your property since 1945.
(b) the conservatory will be within 20 metres of a public right of way
and the any aspect of it is nearer the highway than the current building
line.
(c) your property lies within a conservation area.
Our designers and surveyors are fully aware of the details of the guidelines.
Should planning permission be required we will happily apply on your behalf. |

How will I heat my conservatory in the winter? |
| |
|
An electric Dimplex heater, thermostatically controlled with a timer should
be sufficient. These are available in various Kw sizes, your electrical
installer may advise you on the appropriate size for your conservatory. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Can I have a conservatory over a manhole
cover? |
| |
|
This is not an insurmountable problem, again our designer and surveyor
can advise once they can inspect the exact location of the manhole in
relation to the conservatory. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
How do I prevent condensation building up
in my conservatory? |
| |
|
Provided the conservatory is not damp and is well ventilated condensation
should not be a problem. |
