Conservatories fitted across Cardiff & CF10
Capital city — everything from Edwardian conservation-area bays to glass-fronted Bay apartments. That mix is why no single conservatories spec works for every Cardiff address — a Cyncoed terrace needs different reveals to a newer Cathays estate. We survey first, recommend the right self-cleaning glass roof or solid warm roof, and quote in writing. 10-year product, 2-year fitting, structural warranty on the base sits behind every job.
New build, extension and self build projects
New build, extension and self build projects around Cardiff: what changes
On new work the frame arrives into an opening built to our schedule, so getting the sizes agreed early is the whole job. This page covers how we work alongside the builder rather than after them.
What we build into the quote for you
- Coordination with the plasterer so reveals are finished cleanly
- Building regulations compliant ventilation and safety glazing specified up front
- The bay-corner post gets a structural bracket into masonry, not a token fixing into the outer frame.
- The client's paint colour on the internal reveal is patched with matching paint the crew brings, not left for someone else.
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 deadbolt still throws but the top hook has stopped catching and no one has noticed for months.
- ·The old aluminium sliding door has grit in the track that has worn the roller wheels to elliptical.
- ·The seal at the beading corner has shrunk enough to expose the mitre on the internal white finish.
- ·The internal beads pop out with a chisel and a tap, but the external glazing gasket is bonded solidly to the frame.
- ·The window opens fine on a cold morning and binds by 3pm on a hot afternoon — classic thermal-expansion bind.
- ·The bottom hinge on the front door has torn its top screw fixing free of the frame.
- ·Original beads have been over-painted so many times they no longer clip flush and rattle in a gust.
- ·The letterplate has a hinged internal flap that has snapped off and is currently held in place with masking tape.
- ·The window boards inside are chipboard, swollen at the edges from years of trickle condensation.
- ·A homemade timber threshold has been screwed to the concrete cill in front of the patio door.
- ·The old timber back door has a live rot pocket at the bottom hinge that reads soft to a screwdriver tip.
- ·There is a hairline crack running diagonally from the top corner of one bathroom pane where the frame has twisted.
- ·The trickle-vent screw covers are missing and the internal chamber has filled with cobweb.
- ·The porch canopy has been leaking directly onto the top of the door for years — the top edge of the slab is soft.
- ·A previous cylinder swap left the escutcheon plate rotating freely — a snap risk that nobody logged.
- ·The outer frame has moved fractionally over the years, dropping the bottom hinge screw pattern out of line.
Why residents are booking conservatories right now
- ·The resident wants the frames to survive a specific paint colour on the render for at least a decade.
- ·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
- ·The homeowner wants matt black hardware because everything inside the house is matt black — no chrome to argue with.
- ·The buyer wants the frames branded with the manufacturer's paperwork stapled to the frame chamber for the next owner.
- ·The homeowner has quotes for a new kitchen next spring and wants the patio doors in before those trades arrive.
- ·The homeowner is expecting a Grandchild to stay for extended visits and wants the guest room genuinely warm overnight.
- ·The homeowner is done with the whistle the front door letterplate makes in a north wind.
- ·A newborn has arrived and the parents want the nursery to hold a stable overnight temperature.
- ·The homeowner is targeting a specific EPC band ahead of a rental switch and needs the frames to contribute measurably.
- ·The buyer is running a small business from the home office and wants the kerb to say established and settled.
- ·The homeowner is on holiday half the year and wants a security spec they can leave for weeks without worrying.
- ·The homeowner has quotes from two national companies and wants a local one to be honest about the same job.
- ·The owner has an electric car on the drive and wants the front to say the whole property has been kept up.
- ·The resident wants the front door lock to be re-keyable if a set of keys goes missing in year three.
- ·The owner is buying and wants to time the frame swap for the week between exchange and moving in.
- ·The resident is done with condensation-driven mould at the sill line every February.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The threshold sealant runs the full width with a single tool pass, not stitched together in inches.
- ·The frame drainage caps face outward and are set proud enough that they don't clog with a season of rainwater.
- ·The door hinges are set with the correct rise before the frame is finally fixed — retro-adjustment on cheap hinges is limited.
- ·We de-glaze into a padded rack, not straight into the skip — the intact panes go to a glazier for reuse.
- ·The bay-corner post is set with a laser level across both faces before the outer frames are trimmed to fit.
- ·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 cill is scribed to the reveal, not just butted and caulked over the gap.
- ·The frame reinforcement steel is confirmed by knock-test before selecting the fixing pattern.
- ·The lock cylinder is measured to sit flush with the escutcheon plate — a proud cylinder is a snap risk.
- ·Trickle vents are drilled through the outer frame with a bespoke jig — not freehand with a spade bit.
- ·The internal skirting is protected with a strip of packing tape across the top edge before any tool touches it.
- ·The client's alarm sensors on the old frames are removed and returned to the client, not binned by default.
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The old timber cill under a uPVC swap is treated with a boron preservative before the new frame is set over it.
- ·The composite slab is not cut on site — if it does not fit, a new slab is ordered rather than trimmed.
- ·The manufacturer's serial-number label on the new frame is peeled off, not left to yellow on the glass for years.
FAQs — conservatories in Cardiff
Will conservatories suit the older Edwardian and Victorian bay-fronted houses in Cathays and Roath common around Cardiff?+
Warm-roof upgrades suit the wetter South Wales climate — they hold heat and stop the roof drumming during valley downpours. We've installed dozens in Cyncoed and Llanishen alone.
How do you reach jobs in Cardiff from your base?+
10 miles from base, A470 the whole way — Cardiff installs run as smoothly as our home patch — typically a short run via A48.
Why replace the whole set rather than one-by-one in a Cardiff home?+
Because old polycarbonate-roof conservatories that overheat in summer and freeze in winter — a solid warm roof fixes both rarely stays isolated — once one unit goes, the rest follow within a few years. Doing it once means matching frames across the elevation and one trip for our team into CF10.
What guarantee do I get when you fit conservatories in Cardiff?+
10-year product, 2-year fitting, structural warranty on the base. We're insured to work right across Cardiff Council's area, and you have one named contact from quote to snag.
Can conservatories handle heritage-friendly frame profiles in conservation streets?+
Directly, yes — 20-year frame life with the modern warm-roof option keeping the room usable year-round. That matters in Cardiff where heritage-friendly frame profiles in conservation streets is the single most common reason people call us.
Can you supply performance figures for building control?+
Yes. U values, ventilation provision and safety glazing positions are supplied in writing with the quotation for the SAP or Part L submission.
When should glazing be ordered on a new build?+
As soon as the openings are confirmed. Manufacture takes weeks rather than days, and ordering late is the most common reason glazing holds up a build programme.

Summary — conservatories in Cardiff
