Before you have got your conservatory ordered, it is time to assess your site and make sure that every you have chosen is practical, if you do not want to do this a surveyor can do this for you, they will check everything from drainage on site and style/size of the conservatory, through to access for the delivery of materials.
Once you have decided on your conservatory style and planned all of the features and your conservatory has arrived it is time to get started.
There are seven main steps involved in the construction of a typical conservatory - here's what usually happens during the process.
Step 1 - The site is prepared: foundations are dug out and concrete is poured into the foundations.
Step 2 - Construction of the dwarf cavity wall begins (if you have chosen to have a dwarf wall in your conservatory style).
Step 3 - The floor slab is prepared. It is recommended that insulation is added to the slab and / or cavity walls at this stage.
Step 4 - Both the inner and outer walls of the cavity wall are now completed. Pvcu windowsills and frames are fitted onto the top of the dwarf wall and then its time to fit the roof.
Step 5 - The aluminium glazing bars and ridge are installed first, followed by your chosen glazing material (either polycarbonate or glass).
Step 6 - Glass sealed units are fitted into the side frames to complete the structure.
Step 7 - Your conservatory is ready for you to furnish and enjoy for years to come.
