Expert Orangeries & Conservatories
in Halesowen, Dudley & The West Midlands

The cost really varies depending on the size, how complex it is, and the finish you choose. A small single-storey extension will cost a fair bit less than a big double-storey one, for example. We'll give you a detailed, itemised quote after our first chat, so you get a full breakdown of all the costs involved.

Typically, a single-storey extension might take around 10-14 weeks for the actual build. Double-storey projects, of course, take a bit longer. Keep in mind this doesn't include the design and planning permission stage, which can easily add several months. We'll give you a clear, realistic timeline right from the beginning.

Yes, for almost all extensions, you'll definitely need proper architectural drawings. These are vital for planning applications (or permitted development checks) and for our builders to work from. We can happily recommend some fantastic local architects and structural engineers we've partnered with successfully in the past.

Orangeries generally have more brickwork, a flat roof with a glazed lantern, and feel more like a seamless extension of your home. Conservatories often have more glass in the roof and walls. Both are fantastic ways to add natural light and living space, but an orangery usually offers better insulation and a more 'room-like' feel, especially for properties in Dudley or elsewhere in the West Midlands. We can chat through the best option for your home.

It really depends on the size, location, and specific design. Many smaller conservatories can fall under 'Permitted Development' rights, meaning full planning permission isn't always needed. Orangeries, being more substantial, might require it. We're very familiar with local regulations across the Dudley borough and the wider West Midlands, and we'll guide you through what's required for your specific project.
