New conservatories for Brecon homes
Property type drives the brief in Brecon more than budget does. Georgian and Victorian stone houses in the town centre, hill farms and cottages in the surrounding parishes, plus post-war semis on the Camden Road estates — and each one calls for a different conservatories approach. We've quoted long-established rural owners from Cradoc through to landlords near Ffrwdgrech Industrial Estate, and the spec is rarely identical twice. 10-year product, 2-year fitting, structural warranty on the base on every quote.

New build, extension and self build projects
New build, extension and self build projects around Brecon: what changes
This page is for work on a new structure rather than a replacement in an existing opening. Tolerances, cill details and the order of trades matter far more than they do on a straight swap.
The things worth checking before you accept a price
- Building regulations compliant ventilation and safety glazing specified up front
- Coordination with the plasterer so reveals are finished cleanly
- The old frame is removed by cutting the corners with a reciprocating saw rather than a lever bar that damages the reveal.
- The frame reinforcing steel is confirmed inside the top rail before the transom fixing is chosen.
Full insurance and a written guarantee that survives the handover to the homeowner

What we typically find on conservatories surveys around here
- ·The cylinder on the front door still has the builder's key stamp, meaning it has never been changed since handover.
- ·The multipoint deadbolt still throws but the top hook has stopped catching and no one has noticed for months.
- ·The garden gate side of the property gets no direct sun and the frames there look ten years newer than the fronts.
- ·The letterplate flap spring has gone slack and the flap now hangs open in a light breeze.
- ·The georgian bar between the panes has come detached from the top spacer on one unit.
- ·The internal window board has swelled at the sink end from years of splash and is delaminating along the front edge.
- ·The outer frame has moved fractionally over the years, dropping the bottom hinge screw pattern out of line.
- ·A previous decorator's dust sheet was left inside the frame chamber during a repaint and is still there.
- ·The frame reinforcement steel inside the outer frame has begun to rust and stain the internal white finish.
- ·A previous fitter foam-filled the reveal gap directly against the frame, and the foam has now pushed the jamb inward.
- ·The internal beadwork has been painted so many times the mitres are unrecognisable.
- ·The internal locking cams on the multipoint have been ground down by a mismatched keep pattern.
- ·The letterbox opening is not draught-proofed at all — a candle held two feet away flickers in a light wind.
- ·The trickle-vent screw covers are missing and the internal chamber has filled with cobweb.
- ·The reinforcement steel inside the top rail of a wide sash has rusted through in one corner.
- ·A cracked pane has been temporarily patched with clear tape and left for six months.
Why residents are booking conservatories right now
- ·The resident works from home and wants the neighbour's dog to stop being the loudest thing on every call.
- ·The resident does not want to be sold to — they want a survey, a written figure, and to be left to decide.
- ·The owner is preparing the elevation for a specific street-photo listing and wants the finish to be photographable in raking morning light.
- ·The buyer wants the porch to stay a porch and not turn into a mud room by function.
- ·The owner wants the frames to disappear visually and let the view do the work.
- ·The homeowner is preparing to work from home permanently and wants the office quieter than the living room used to be.
- ·A recent break-in on the street has moved security up the priority list ahead of aesthetics.
- ·The resident wants the letterbox to stop being a draught source without giving up daily post.
- ·The homeowner is on holiday half the year and wants a security spec they can leave for weeks without worrying.
- ·The buyer wants a composite door slab that a courier's boot cannot dent when a delivery is fumbled.
- ·The owner has tried draught-excluder tape and a chimney balloon and now accepts the frames themselves are the cause.
- ·The buyer wants no upsell scripts — a survey, a spec, a figure, and space to think.
- ·The resident wants the noise of the school run down and the light from the morning sun up.
- ·The resident has already lost one composite door to a courier boot and wants the replacement rated for impact.
- ·The owner is preparing the property for a rental switch and wants glazing to hit HMO fire-escape spec.
- ·The buyer wants the frames branded with the manufacturer's paperwork stapled to the frame chamber for the next owner.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The install date is stamped inside the frame chamber for future reference — a decade later a client can still date it.
- ·The door is closed, locked, and left overnight before final adjustment, so any settlement is captured before sign-off.
- ·The multipoint keeps get a smear of grease inside the pocket before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The crew leaves the client with a printed adjustment card so the multipoint keeps can be re-set six months on without a callout.
- ·The internal make-good caulk is polymer, tooled with a wet finger and then a spatula for a final radius.
- ·The old debris leaves in a single tidy load — not skip visits three days apart.
- ·New frames sit on hardwood packers, not plastic offcuts — plastic creeps under load, timber does not.
- ·The crew photographs the finished elevation from the street and shares it with the office as the sign-off record.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·Any dropped hinges on the existing door are noted before the swap so the new frame is set for the correct drop.
- ·Ground protection sheet goes down before the old frame comes out — not after the mess starts.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·Cylinders come out of the box, get numbered, and are the last thing fitted, so a lost cylinder does not stall the day.
- ·The frame square is checked at the diagonals before any glass goes in — a square frame stays square.
- ·The wall around the frame is Hoovered before the client sees the room again — brick dust ages a first impression.
- ·The threshold sealant runs the full width with a single tool pass, not stitched together in inches.
