Georgian bar overlays, dentil crown mouldings, ornate ridge cresting and cast-look aluminium finials — specified to match the era of the host building.
A-Rated Solar-Control Glass

What Hitchin homeowners tell us.
"Slim aluminium sashes in anthracite grey — exactly the balance of period feel and modern lines we wanted. Conservation area approved."
"Punctual, quiet, tidy, honest. Three years on the front door still closes with that satisfying thud, and the paint finish hasn't moved."
"A proper trade. Every promise kept — from the timescale to the finish. We've since recommended them to three neighbours."

- What thermal performance does victorian conservatories achieve in Hitchin?
- Tiled and hybrid warm-roof conservatories across Hitchin, Hertfordshire achieve roof U-values of 1.0–1.4 W/m²K for improved year-round thermal performance.
- Is a Victorian conservatory suitable for a modern house?
- It's designed to complement pre-1920s architecture — Victorian, Edwardian and older. On a modern build, a lean-to or orangery normally sits better. We advise honestly at survey.
- Three-facet or five-facet — how do I choose?
- Three-facet works on narrower footprints (typically under 3.5m wide) and reads as more compact. Five-facet suits wider elevations and gives a longer sightline across the bay. Orientation to the sun is the deciding factor.
- Do I need planning permission?
- Most Victorian conservatories fall under permitted development. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, full planning is likely and we handle the application on your behalf.
