A conservatory quote covers groundwork, brickwork, frames, roof, glass and often electrics and flooring. Two quotes can look similar but include very different things.
We split your quote into its parts, check what’s included and what’s not, then ask other companies to price exactly the same build.
What we check on your quote
- Base, foundations and groundwork
- Dwarf walls, brick type and finish
- Frame system and colour
- Roof type, glass and insulation
- Glass spec in the frames
- Electrics, heating, flooring and plastering

Conservatory questions
Conservatory quote FAQs
Does a conservatory need planning permission?
Many conservatories are built under permitted development, so they don’t need planning permission. That depends on the size, position and your property, so check with your council or the company you choose before you go ahead.
Can you compare quotes for a solid or tiled roof?
Yes. Replacement roofs are one of the quotes we see most. We match the roof system, insulation and internal finish so you compare like for like.
What if my quote leaves things out?
We’ll flag anything that’s usually needed but isn’t mentioned, such as groundwork, plastering or electrics, so you know what to ask about.
How much does it cost me?
Nothing. The company you choose pays us a fixed fee once you’ve signed with them and your cancellation period has passed.
