Since loads of people have ordered a Prior DIY conservatory in the past few weeks, we were looking to see if there were any particular areas of the country that our self build conservatories seem to be going to on a regular basis. The results were quite odd to say the least!
Here we are, based in the heart of South Warwickshire so you would expect a lot of orders from the local area. This has been true as we have sold a few in Worcester, Alcester and other local towns and cities. However, there....

If you sent in your pictures of your completed Prior DIY conservatory, many thanks for your time. Over the next weeks we will be adding them to our gallery. As promised none will be identified but you can bet that you will recognize yours when you see it. Just click on the image for a larger picture.
Many thanks once again.....

When we supply your new Prior DIY conservatory you get the fixing kit as well. Good job because there is now way that you would be able to put it all together without it! So what do we supply in the fixing kit?
We include the large wall anchors that fix the conservatory to your house brickwork and all of the various screws needed to attach the frames together. All silicone is also supplied so that there is no need to rush off to your local hardware store to pick up tubes of goo. Enough is suppl....

It would appear that virtually everyone who has bought one of our DIY conservatories has found them easy to fit, and quick too. The only problem that we ever encounter is where someone has not read the very detailed fitting instructions that we always supply.
The roofs come in numbered packs for ease of assembly. Starting with number one and using the contents until there are none left, you then start on pack two and so on. We do it this way so that you are not confronted with loads of strange ....

After the trouble we take to make sure that your new Prior DIY conservatory is exactly as you would like it and is also of top quality, it is nice to hear from our customers and to find out what they thought of the whole experience of dealing with us here at Prior Conservatories Ltd.
Normally this would be found on our testimonials page, but we are altering the layout to make the testimonial section much better. So send us your photographs of the competed conservatory and send us a few lines ab....

Because Prior DIY conservatories are not confined by buying in frames and selling on as many companies are, we can offer a full conservatory design and build service. We are not worried about odd sizes and slightly out of the ordinary designs and many of our customers have had this type of bespoke conservatory.
It is just as well that we do manufacture our own conservatory frames here as quite a number of customers have had quotes from other companies who cannot make what the customer actually ....

Most of our customers want to use their conservatory all year round. Now in the old days this would have meant huge heating bills due to the flimsy polcarbonate roofs that other companies would have used and either single or bog standard double glazed windows. Heat would escape from these as fast as you could put it in thus adding to Global warming and not doing your bank balance any favours.
With the rapid rise in energy prices, this is simply no longer an option. Our philosophy is somewhat de....

When you get a Prior DIY conservatory, you should be aware that you are not getting a simple cheap clip together structure made with cheap components and sat on a prefabricated base. We do not like them and as a result, we dont' manufacture them.
What you are getting is a very accurately manufactured conservatory made from Rehau S706 PVCu profile, fully galvanized steel reinforced and made in large chunks. If one side of your new conservatory is say 3 metres long by 2.1 metres high, it wi....

We have had a full order book this year and we think that the reason for that has to be the introduction of our energy rated windows in our DIY conservatories. This is something that hardly anyone else does. Also a lot of orders have been recommendations from existing customers to other members of their friends and family.
If you are quick though, there is still time to order and have the conservatory up before Christmas. This assumes that we do not get snowed on to the extent of last year and ....

We are quite regularly rung up by our customers after their Prior DIY conservatories have been delivered saying that the frames supplied by us are smaller than they should be! This only happens when the conservatory is sat on a dwarf wall.
We then have to explain that if the frames were exactly the same size as the dwarf wall, nothing would fit. You have to remember that the conservatory will sit on the inside of the outside brick of the cavity wall, so obviously the frames are not going to be....

The above heading applies particularly if you are digging out the footings for your new DIY conservatory from Prior Conservatories, and trust me, there are quite a few of you doing this at the moment! Todays' heavy rain, flash floods, squalls and plagues of frogs are just what the ground needs after the very dry time that we have endured this year.
When digging out, the wetter is the better, without turning your footings trench into a moat, that is. Many of you get worried about concreting in t....
