Do conservatory installers need insurance?

While conservatory installers aren't legally required to have insurance, it’s strongly recommended. Public liability insurance protects against damage to property or injury during the job. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring an installer.

Do conservatory builders offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, reputable conservatory builders typically offer guarantees on their work, often ranging from one to ten years, depending on the project. Make sure to understand the terms of the guarantee, which should cover any defects or issues due to poor workmanship.

What should I ask a conservatory installer before hiring them?

Before hiring a conservatory installer, ask about their experience with conservatories, their qualifications and whether they have insurance. Enquire about the timeline for your project, estimated costs and the payment structure. It’s also useful to ask for references and confirm they are familiar with local building regulations and planning permission requirements.

Do I need planning permission to build a conservatory?

In most cases, you don’t. Conservatories usually fall under permitted development, which means you can build without planning permission as long as you stay within size, height, and placement limits. However, if your home is listed, in a conservation area, or the extension goes beyond these limits, you’ll need to apply.

Do conservatory builders handle electrics and heating installation?

Yes, most do. Many conservatory specialists oversee the full project and arrange electricians or plumbers to handle electrics, lighting, or heating. Just make sure any work meets Building Regulations, Part P for electrics and Part L for energy efficiency.

Can a conservatory be made energy-efficient?

Definitely. Today’s conservatories can be built with high-performance double glazing, insulated roofs, and thermally efficient frames to keep the space warm in winter and cool in summer.

Garden Maintenance- 17 Sep 2017
I hired DS Developments to completely landscape my small front garden. This involved clearing and levelling the area; moving and re-securing a bike shed; laying a patio and lawn; and a number of finishing touches. The area went from somewhat of an embarrassing eye-sore to an area of pride. One that several neighbours have already made compliments about. David provided a professional service from start to finish. His quote was more than I expected, but his knowledge and vision gave me the confidence to select his services. He provided a selection of options and stuck to budget; adapted well to new ideas/suggestions; and informed in advance where the cost would be impacted. He and his team also were as tidy and considerate as possible and I highly recommend their services.

Handyman- 3 Jun 2026
I cannot recommend this service highly enough. The wardrobe I purchased was extremely heavy, complex, and challenging to assemble, yet the work was completed to an exceptional standard. From the outset, he was professional, punctual, and clearly very experienced. What impressed me most was his willingness to go above and beyond what was originally agreed. He took great care with every detail, ensured everything was assembled perfectly, and left the area clean and tidy afterwards. Despite the amount of work involved, his pricing was very fair and represented outstanding value for money. It is rare to find someone who combines skill, reliability, attention to detail, and affordability in the way he does. If you need furniture assembled, especially large or complicated items, I would not hesitate to recommend him. An excellent service from start to finish.

Windows & Doors (Wooden)- 9 Sep 2016
We received quotes for new windows and external doors from 2 tradesmen and elected to proceed with Dowsing Home Improvements for several reasons. First and foremost, while the quotes were similar, Dowsing offered the most competitive of the two. Additionally we found Mitch to be extremely knowledgeable, competent and approachable, he put us under no pressure and gave us no 'sales pitch'. He is an honest and genuine tradesman which are hard to come by. Our project was not straightforward as we had builders on site. Nevertheless, Mitch worked in what was often challenging circumstances with limited access and space to install the windows and doors. The windows and doors are immaculate, we are so impressed by the quality of the product and the fit. We immediately recommended Mitch to a friend who also appointed Mitch and she is equally pleased with her new windows. I cannot recommend Mitch highly enough and I will certainly be in touch with Mitch again when I inevitably purchase my next renovation job!

Handyman- 28 Jul 2019
Paul was very responsive and trustworthy from the outset and did a really nice job in good time with the two small things I needed fixing. He took plenty of helpful photographs and sent them to me without me asking as he knew I couldn't see the work on the day he did it. He charged a fair price and was very easy to communicate with, giving thoughtful advice about my choices. I thoroughly recommend him.

Kitchen Fitting- 28 Feb 2021
This old misery masterminded the plot to rip me off with his two miserable friends Andrew Findlay, electrician, and Graham Webster, tiler. No decency, no pride, just bodies with two holes in and out. Those three creatures are crooks, conmen, crap tradesmen. I've doubts if those three miseries had a mother.

Stephen replaced all my doors and windows and this is the third house of mine that I have used his company for. The price, workmanship and quality of the products used are always excellent. He completes the work when he says he will, at the price he says he will and to a standard that exceeds my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen Evans and his company SRE Conservatories.

David designed and built my orangery which was an addition to the back of my home. David informed me of all the progress every step of the way and was always punctual. I arrived home everyday from work to more of my extension having been built but no sign of a messy building site, he always cleaned my garden and windows after his days work. The final product I can only describe as simply stunning, every detail was finished to an exceptional standard and there isn't anything I can fault in Davids workmanship and professionalism throughout the whole build. If you are looking for a 5* builder then look no further. I cannot recommend David enough.

Conservatories- 3 Oct 2018
Very pleased with johnny, he sorted out my leaking conservatory roof, which wasn't an easy job. Yesterday he fitted a false ceiling in my conservatory. He is an excellent workman, did the job to perfection. Everything was left clean and tidy, he came when he said he would and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend him. Thank you johnny.
