THE MEASUREMENTS WE NEED FOR A BESPOKE QUOTE

Before even starting out on the design of your new conservatory there are a couple of things to bear in mind. When we design the DIY conservatory we obviously use a number of computers. These do not understand feet and inches so please use metric measurements throughout! We also require accurate measurements - a customer came in today and asked us if it would be ok if he was a couple of inches out here and there. We don't think so!! So in order to avoid any awkwardness, please measure things several times before asking for a quote or indeed a base plan. Be aware that when we manufacture our conservatories they are made to within 2 -3mm of the correct size, and usually are spot on. There are certain standards that we and the rest of our industry like to work to. For example, the height of a dwarf wall. We would normally suggest that this is 600mm from your damp proof course to the top of the brickwork. We then would make our window frames to a height of 1500mm thus giving the conservatory wall height of 2.1 metres. If you need another wall height then you must let us know in the planning stage. It may well be that you will be using an existing base and we need to know exactly how high the dwarf wall is from DPC to the top of this existing base. Then we can adjust the frames to suit. If your new conservatory is being fitted below the eaves of a bungalow there will be height restrictions. This one is very important! We would in this case need the exact measurement from the new base to the underside of the eaves including soffits. We normally reccommend a low pitch roof lean - to conservatory in this case for ease of construction, but can adapt other designs to fit by using a box gutter where the conservatory joins the house. If you cannot use a conservatory with a front wall height of 2.1mm do not dispair as we can tweak the frame heights to make it fit! This is the beauty of having our own manufacturing facility. If you are in any doubt as to what you want or wether it will fit, please call our free 'phone number 0800 001 5848 and ask for advise.
