We are having a conservatory built and the company we are using have said that because the entrance to the site where the conservatory is being built is not accessible to a digger, they have suggested using pylons for the base of the conservatory. Has anyone any idea if this is a good idea or not?

I desperately need a conservatory with limited budget. Can i utilise one concrete shed wall and one living room wall to save money and then i will have to get only two walls build, will it bring the cost down, if i get it done by a local builder after I buy it with this builder`s help?

We are planning a conservatory and have a sunny south facing garden. Would like as much information as possible as to the pros and cons of a conservatory. Many thanks

I have a 1930 house which has a very small kitchen and would like to extend it. Would it be best to buy an off the shelf conservatory or go full whack and build a brick walled extension. I really don't have the funds to go mad and some prices that I have been quoted seem expensive for a 3x5m space joining at the back of the house. Can I have a conservtory and use it as a kitchen. As it's use is a kitchen it has to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Help please!

This is to have 2 dwarf walls and 1 wall of 6 feet in height what is the minimum depth required for the foundations.

Also is there any height restrictions to worry about ,thanks

Looking at having a new conservatory fitted but a little debate about the roof. The supplier suggests that if its glass we'll end up spending £2k on blinds, and proposes the heat reflecting 35mm poly carbon roof. This is a 6m x 4m room and so is quite large and will be in full sun midday to sunset, any suggestions?

I have a conservatory with a plastic dwarf wall instead of brick, this seems to let a lot of the cold in.

It also has a cold concrete floor with carpet on top. Are conservatories normally very cold in the winter?

I want to put a Radiator in there and also try to insulate the floor, height isn't an issue. What's the best way of insulating the floor?

Hi,
Is it possible to alter the appearance of a conservatory roof with a tile effect + plasterboard inside?

Conservatory is Edwardian in style, approx 12ft x 12ft and has a dwarf brick base about 600mm tall.

Thanks,
Matt
