New build, extension and self build projects
Why conservatories look different to new build, extension and self build projects
For projects still on paper, this page explains what we need from the drawings, what lead times look like, and how glazing is coordinated with the rest of the programme.
Where this job stands or falls
- Delivery timed to the build programme rather than to our diary
- Thermal performance figures for the SAP or Part L calculation
- Cylinders come out of the box, get numbered, and are the last thing fitted, so a lost cylinder does not stall the day.
- Door thresholds are set with a spirit level along their full length and then re-checked with a straight edge.
Extension and garden room glazing completed to the builder's programme, with sizes issued before brickwork started
What we typically find on conservatories surveys around here
- ·The multipoint lock still throws but the internal handle has 40° of dead travel before engaging.
- ·The internal locking cams on the multipoint have been ground down by a mismatched keep pattern.
- ·A previous fitter drilled through the outer frame chamber for the trickle vent — never fully sealed the drilling.
- ·Wet-set fixings through the outer frame have rusted and stained the surrounding brick.
- ·The porch-roof lead flashing has been dropping water onto the head of the front door for years.
- ·A cat flap has been cut through the lower panel of the back door, weakening the panel and voiding warranty.
- ·The frame colour has gone chalky on the sun side and stayed factory white on the shaded elevation.
- ·A previous cylinder swap left the escutcheon plate rotating freely — a snap risk that nobody logged.
- ·The bay-window front elevation has a visible smile — the middle mullion has sagged and taken the head with it.
- ·A tenant repair on the bathroom window has used bathroom silicone as the primary bead — it's already gone black.
- ·There is a hairline crack running diagonally from the top corner of one bathroom pane where the frame has twisted.
- ·The cill drainage caps on a north-facing elevation are frozen in place with layered moss.
- ·The middle mullion sags visibly across the top rail on any window wider than 1.6m.
- ·The cill end-cap has fallen off and the cill chamber is now a home for insects.
- ·The bathroom obscure glass pattern has been discontinued for over a decade — matching a single pane is not possible.
- ·Silicone at the outer perimeter has hardened, cracked, and lifted at the head — water tracks behind it in heavy rain.
Why residents are booking conservatories right now
- ·The buyer wants a genuine Which? Trusted Trader install, not a subcontracted crew running the badge.
- ·The resident wants the letterbox to stop being a draught source without giving up daily post.
- ·The homeowner is planning a loft conversion next year and wants the windows sorted before scaffold cost is priced.
- ·The owner has an electric car on the drive and wants the front to say the whole property has been kept up.
- ·The wife wants the noise from the trunk road down; the husband wants the heating bill down; both are on the enquiry.
- ·The buyer wants no upsell scripts — a survey, a spec, a figure, and space to think.
- ·There is a puppy in training and the sliding door onto the garden has to work with a paw against the glass.
- ·The homeowner is 68 and wants a threshold that will still be usable in ten years without a step.
- ·The homeowner is preparing the property for a smart-home installation and wants sensor pockets designed into the reveals.
- ·The buyer wants the whole job done by one team who own the outcome — not designed in one place and fitted in another.
- ·The resident wants the front to look distinct on a street of five identical houses.
- ·The resident wants an installer who will honestly say when a repair beats a replacement.
- ·The owner is having a kitchen refit next month and wants the patio door in first so the tiler works to a fitted threshold.
- ·The buyer wants a full set of the same colour across every elevation, not the current mixed collection.
- ·The owner is done with rattling frames in a westerly and wants a demonstrable acoustic upgrade, not a numerical claim.
- ·The owner is done with the biannual repaint of the timber back door and wants a paint-free equivalent.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The new frame is stood in the reveal dry before any fixings go in — a final chance to catch a wrong-hand delivery.
- ·The gasket wedges are trimmed with a fresh knife blade for every unit — a dull blade tears the EPDM.
- ·The crew asks the client where the kettle lives before they set up so tea gets made rather than negotiated.
- ·The multipoint gearbox is thrown by hand before the frame goes in — a factory fault at that point is a five-minute fix.
- ·The old handles are offered to the client before being binned — sometimes a chrome D-handle finds a shed door life.
- ·The install date is stamped inside the frame chamber for future reference — a decade later a client can still date it.
- ·The internal trim goes on with pin nails through the flange, not straight through the visible face.
- ·Ground protection sheet goes down before the old frame comes out — not after the mess starts.
- ·The screws through the outer frame go into pilot-drilled masonry, not driven with hammer action alone.
- ·The letterplate brush strip is trimmed to the exact height of the door thickness so it seals without dragging.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The glass has a factory kite mark visible at handover — not scraped off by a lazy cleaner during the fitting hour.
- ·The internal cill is scribed to the reveal, not just butted and caulked over the gap.
- ·The window boards are pre-treated on the underside with a moisture seal before setting in place.
- ·Cylinders come out of the box, get numbered, and are the last thing fitted, so a lost cylinder does not stall the day.
- ·The head of the frame is packed dry before the sides are fixed, so the frame does not distort during installation.
