DIY Conservatories

D-I-Y is becoming a large part of the window, door and conservatory industry. With recent advances in design and technology installation has never been easier. All of the products and options that are detailed in the above sections are available for D-I-Y installation.

The most common way of constructing a D-I-Y conservatory is to have a friend or relative construct the base and walls and install the frames and roof yourself. Advances in product design are making this easier but a range of D-I-Y skills are still required, such as general assembly and fixing, joinery, glazing and lead flashing.

Obviously the main advantage from a D-I-Y installation is saving money and you can save a significant amount. (see Price examples in the main menu for details) Alternatively you can get a more accurate quote tailored to your requirements by using our e-mail quotation service.

For D-I-Y quotations price is generally the driving factor in making a decision, but we would urge you to look closely at the product and specification before making a decision. You can view these details in the conservatory section of our web site. It is also a good idea to look at the different glazing and ventilation options available to you, which are also listed in our conservatory products section.
