Self build a conservatory in the UK.
To self build a conservatory is relatively easy for someone with medium DIY experience. Complete plans and instructions are available - with back-up from skilled technicians, who you can talk to directly.
You will save thousands of pounds compared to a fitted conservatory, even if you need to engage a local builder to assemble it for you.
Site survey. Make your conservatory as big as your budget or actual floor space will allow. Consider drains. See if planning permission is required; contact your local council planning department before you start work.
Base laying and preparation. Prepare the base to your requirements. Options such as floor insulation can be accommodated if required. Build the base up to the necessary height. Make sure your diagonal lengths are equal, so that your conservatory is truly square. Wall construction. This is normally matched as closely as possible to the house design ensuring that your self-build conservatory looks like an original feature. Cavity walls are standard. The frames will be in line with the inside edge on the exterior brick work, the internal brick work will be covered with windows sills (sold separately). Frame / roof erection. Get the frames fixed to your house wall, then the front. Make sure the frames are held securely whilst you fix them. Then build up you roof frame work. Completion. Glaze the roof, followed by the glass in the frames.
Then clean your new self-build conservatory.
