Conservatories from Coltlight.

 

For Conservatories, Roofs and Orangeries in Whytleafe, Caterham, Worldingham, Warlingham, Surrey and Surrounding areas

 

Conservatories can be one of the most impressive alterations you can make to your home. Building one can help to add space to your home as well as increase your property value. They are spaces where you can relax, dine and enjoy the evenings drinking a glass of wine.

Our conservatory consultants will help you to choose a style that helps to enhance your home.

 

The design is critical to ensure that you maximise the available space and ensure that the structure suits your home. All our conservatories include any building work required however if you wish to appoint your own builder you are free to do so.

Although we can offer the usual standard design such as 'Victorian', 'Edwardian', etc most customers like us to help create something specific to their home.

Advancements in conservatory design include items such as portal frames and strengthened ring beams (to allow wide open areas for items such as Bi Folding doors), Self cleaning antisun glass (Pilkington Activ), electric vents and Orangery roofs.

Add into this the multitude of options that are available regarding building work such as under floor heating, spot lamps, air conditioning, hardwood/laminated/tiled floors and you can truly create a unique living area to complement and enhance your home.

We offer a full design, survey, building and installation service that incorporates applications for planning permission (should they be required*)

For a quotation our consultants arrange a meeting with you at your home to discuss your requirements. They can then present a graphic representation of the conservatory you desire attached to your home right in front of you
