When it comes to the choice of materials, conservatories are built mostly with glass walls and roofs, unlike typical house extensions built with more conventional walls and roofing. In terms of function, they’re traditionally made to support plant life at home like a greenhouse. While modern conservatories now take on various roles, it’s still not as flexible as other installations that can be used as bedrooms and kitchens, among other things.

There’s no accurate average figure in terms of conservatory prices as it would depend on many factors. Materials, in particular, have a lot to do with this as there are many options in glass alone – from stylistic options like clear, etched and frosted to functional options like thickness, UV protection, soundproofing and shatter-proofing. Consult with your local conservatory builder for a more in-depth discussion on cost.

Absolutely! While conservatories will undoubtedly pop from the rest of the house because of the glass walls and signature glass roof, they can be customised to better fit into the property’s aesthetic as a whole. You may consult with your Tasker on how this can be done, be it with custom touches to the glass or some other aesthetic choices in the structural bits of the installation.

This depends on your agreement with the Tasker. Still, generally, your involvement should be minimal, starting with materials selection and would only be required again if some unforeseen hiccups are encountered in the project. The contractor oversees other aspects of the build to ensure convenience. You may talk to your Tasker on more specifics regarding build involvement.

This depends on your local government unit’s building regulations, so you might want to check with them. You can also ask your Tasker if they can handle the permits on your behalf. Another place you might want to check for permit applications is your homeowners’ association; you can cooperate with them to ensure that the neighbourhood is given a heads up on the potential disruption that the project might cause.
