Just a quick post to let everyone know that as well as the usual colurs for our DIY conservatories such as golden oak and rosewood, both available with white on the inside, we now have a new range of colours.
Chartwell green, Irish Oak and many more besides. So if you want your conservatory to blend in with your garden and a white one just will not cut it, then why not go for one of the coloured options. Please be aware that the lead time on these are up to eight weeks though as we get the prof....

After a DIY conservatory has been ordered and the deposit has been paid, we normally allow three weeks from date of order to date of delivery. Thie gives the customer time to build any base work that needs doing. This is important when there is a dwarf wall to build and allows the customer time to get it right!
It also gives us time to manufacture the conservatory and make sure that all the dimensions are exactly as they should be. If the customer wants more time to complete their end of the wo....

Apart from the Lean-to style of conservatory, the one we sell mostly is the Edwardian. There are many reasons for this. The main one is that with the high ridge and twenty five degree roof pitch there is a real sense of spaciousness inside and a feel of airiness.
Also with the rectangular or oblong footprint of the Edwardian DIY you are able to make the most use of the available space. By having the French door off to one side you do not create a corridor effect and the through traffic does not....

We are regularly asked how hard it is to put up a Prior DIY conservatory. The answer is that it is not too challenging if you have average DIY skills. You do not need to buy expensive specialist tools either. Obviously to put up a conservatory is rather more than nipping to your locay DIY superstore and putting together a flat packed chest of drawers.
However, because we supply very detailed plans and fitting instructions, and allow you plenty of time to read them before the conservatory is del....

It would be so easy to order a new conservatory, sit back and watch a team of builders, fitters, plasterers, plumbers and electricians slowly working away and drinking all of your tea to boot. This is the lazy way to get a conservatory and wont you have to pay for it! Also thinking ahead, if anything was to go wrong with it you then have to try and get someone back to sort the problem out. All costing you an arm and a leg.
This is why our Prior DIY conservatories are so popular. By doing the wo....

Everyone is aware of the high price of road fuel these days and we are no exception. As we always use our own transport to deliver our DIY conservatories, we had to come to a decision earlier in the year that we would not deliver to Scotland because of the extra costs involved.
We will gladly quote for our friends north of the border but we make them aware from the outset that the delivery charge will be a major stumbling block. The whole point of having a DIY conservatory is to keep the costs....

Now that there are signs of a slight warming up in the air, now is the ideal time to plan your new DIY conservatory from Prior Conservatories. If you are in the process of base building it will now dry out that much quicker than in the freezing weather. It is also now ideal for laying bricks one the concrete base has gone off. Remember that we allow three weeks from your order until delivery and the reason that we do this is to give you the time needed to construct the basework to our very detai....

When it comes to glazing on our DIY conservatories, we offer a C rated window for the conservatory walls as standard. These are highly efficient and keep the heat in during this time of year as well as keeping the structure cooler in summer, if we ever get one. They work best with a glass roof as then all glass units are Argon filled, but also as we use the thicker 35mm polycarbonate, they are effective with this option as well.
All sidewall glazing can easily be upgraded to and A rated w....

Since we introduced energy rated windows across our full range of DIY conservatories we have seen an upturn in demand and they have generated a great deal of interest. The fact that we can supply them at no extra cost has also not gone unnoticed. We did our research and asked potential customers what were the biggest disadvantages of owning a conservatory. Virtually everyone said that keeping it warm at this time of year was a costly process.
With the addition of our standard C rated windows in....
