New build, extension and self build projects
Written for 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.
What we build into the quote for you
- Structural opening sizes agreed and issued to the builder in writing
- Thermal performance figures for the SAP or Part L calculation
- Cavity closers get inserted where the old frame's cavity closer has failed — not omitted because it is unseen work.
- The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
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 frame drainage on a south-facing bathroom window is blocked with paint film from the exterior repaint.
- ·The escutcheon plate on the back door hides a botched cylinder swap where the follower is worn.
- ·The composite front door skin has a shallow dent from a delivery bike handlebar and it has ovalised the door.
- ·The bay-window front elevation has a visible smile — the middle mullion has sagged and taken the head with it.
- ·The front door has been painted three times without stripping — the paint film is now stopping the door closing at the top.
- ·The frame drainage slots at the bottom are clogged with debris, so rainwater sits inside the chamber.
- ·The letterplate flap spring has gone slack and the flap now hangs open in a light breeze.
- ·The escutcheon on the front door is loose and rotates as the key turns.
- ·The hinges are all dropped one notch from level, taking the sash out of square against the outer frame.
- ·The georgian bar between panes on one unit has slipped off its top spacer and is sitting diagonally inside the sealed cavity.
- ·There is no drip groove on the underside of the cill — water tracks straight back onto the brick face.
- ·Two units have the classic dust ring inside the sealed gap, meaning the perimeter seal has been breached for at least a year.
- ·The bathroom obscure glass pattern has been discontinued for over a decade — matching a single pane is not possible.
- ·The letterplate has a hinged internal flap that has snapped off and is currently held in place with masking tape.
- ·A previous fitter left the transport wedges in the frame corners and the internal seal never fully reset.
- ·The bathroom pane is patterned glass from the original build, and the pattern is no longer a current stock line.
Why residents are booking conservatories right now
- ·The buyer wants the front door delivered pre-hung and pre-glazed on the same date as the frames.
- ·The owner wants the front door to feel expensive to close — the weight, the sound, the drop of the latch.
- ·The current front door leaks visibly around the letterplate every time the wind swings east.
- ·The resident works from home and wants the neighbour's dog to stop being the loudest thing on every call.
- ·The homeowner is selling the property and only wants to replace what visibly holds the survey back.
- ·The homeowner is planning a loft conversion next year and wants the windows sorted before scaffold cost is priced.
- ·There is a puppy in training and the sliding door onto the garden has to work with a paw against the glass.
- ·The homeowner has just re-rendered the front elevation and wants the frames to be the last piece of the picture.
- ·The buyer wants the whole ground floor to feel more connected to the garden without losing the wall.
- ·The owner wants the property to look less like a rental and more like a home, and the front door does most of that work.
- ·The owner wants the whole property refurbished for a big family gathering nine weeks out — everything sequenced tightly.
- ·The resident wants the patio door to slide with one finger — not the two-handed heave the current one takes.
- ·The homeowner is done with the whistle the front door letterplate makes in a north wind.
- ·The owner wants the front door hardware to match a specific interior palette — brass, matt black, or brushed nickel.
- ·The buyer wants an installer who will still exist to honour a guarantee in year eight.
- ·The resident is fitting a home cinema in the front room and needs the windows to be a full acoustic upgrade, not a nominal one.
How our fitters actually do the work
- ·The friction stay on a new casement is set to the client's preferred restraint at handover — 45°, 90°, or fully open.
- ·The crew asks the client where the kettle lives before they set up so tea gets made rather than negotiated.
- ·The bathroom obscure glass pattern is confirmed with a physical sample against the existing pane, not chosen from a brochure image.
- ·The old timber cill under a uPVC swap is treated with a boron preservative before the new frame is set over it.
- ·The frame drainage caps are proven flowing before the beading goes in — a bottle of water down the outer chamber.
- ·The threshold ramp on an accessible door is set to a maximum 15mm rise, checked with a spirit-level lip.
- ·The finished elevation is photographed from the pavement and uploaded to the office job file as sign-off record.
- ·The crew takes the old glass off site in a labelled sack that day, not a skip left on the drive.
- ·The internal cill is scribed with a coping saw against the reveal plaster, not butted flush with a caulk joint.
- ·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
- ·The frame is plumbed on two axes before the first fixing goes in — not one axis and then trusted.
- ·The manufacturer's serial-number label on the new frame is peeled off, not left to yellow on the glass for years.
- ·The window board is scribed to the plaster line, not left with a caulked gap that shows in raking light.
- ·The old frame comes out in one piece where possible so the reveal detail is not chased through with a demolition bar.
- ·The internal make-good caulk is polymer, tooled with a wet finger and then a spatula for a final radius.
- ·The trim between the frame and the plaster line goes on last, after the sealant has set and been proven leak-tight.
FAQs — conservatories in Risca
How long does a conservatories install take in a Risca property?+
4–8 days from base to handover depending on footprint and roof spec. Most of the Victorian terraces along the valley floor at Pontymister and Crosskeys we see in Risca fit our standard schedule with no surprises.
Can conservatories handle hillside estate exposure at Ty-Sign where wind hits every elevation?+
Directly, yes — 20-year frame life with the modern warm-roof option keeping the room usable year-round. That matters in Risca where hillside estate exposure at Ty-Sign where wind hits every elevation is the single most common reason people call us.
What guarantee do I get when you fit conservatories in Risca?+
10-year product, 2-year fitting, structural warranty on the base. We're insured to work right across Caerphilly County Borough Council's area, and you have one named contact from quote to snag.
Do you cover Newport and Caerphilly as well?+
Yes — Newport is roughly 5 miles from Risca, Caerphilly about 6. Same team, same prices, same guarantee.
Will conservatories suit the older Victorian terraces along the valley floor at Pontymister and Crosskeys common around Risca?+
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 Pontymister and Crosskeys alone.
Do you work from architect's drawings?+
Yes. Send the elevations and we will return structural opening sizes, cill details and the glazing specification in writing so the openings are formed correctly.
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.
