Hi there - we are looking to get our 20 year conservatory (plastic roof) pulled down, and a new one with better heat retention, glass roof put in - at the say time as extending it and knocking through to our kitchen/dinner and putting bifold doors in. The company who are going to do our kitchen use a builder who will also do the conservatory. He has quoted £26,400 (inv VAT) to pull down old, and put in new (longer, therefore new footings) one about 2.6m * 11m in size... lean-to, glass roof, electrics, plastering/decoration, underfloor heating ((devimat) , + knock through into dining room and put in UPVC bifold doors at 2.6m wide. only thing quote doesn't include is laying tiled floor. Has said will use WHS/Halo profile system for conservatory. Some questions: a) does this seem a reasonable price b) is WHS/Halo a good make c) we are looking for something good quality, that is as a good as possible at not letting heat out and therefore keeping as warm as can. what questions should we be asking on spec - i.e. what glass thickness, gas filled, etc etc should we be asking about to make sure we get a really good quality job done... thanks in advance.
