Recommendations For Buying A DIY Conservatory In Torquay

By Ania Stan


Building a DIY conservatory may seem like a daunting undertaking, however, with the right guidance, it is worth considering. A quality DIY conservatory in Torquay can save you as much as 50% of the cost of one installed by a professional. DIY conservatories ideally come in a kit of components that should be quick and easy to assemble, and of decent quality.

These tips should help you feel more confident about choosing a great DIY conservatory in Torquay and constructing it.

* Get a respected supplier - Ideally you want one that installs as well as supplies conservatories so that you can get specialist advice, should you need it.

* Traditional or contemporary? - This is the first consideration. Choose a style that you are able to construct and one that will fit in with the style of your home. Traditional styles are based on period design and are usually more complicated to construct, whilst modern styles tend to come in basic rectangular or square structures with flat, pitched or lean-to roofs. They will have simpler frames. Always get advice about the suitability of the design you choose and how it will be constructed.

* Additional features - One option you have that can make the build simpler is to get a basic, modern design DIY conservatory and add some traditional or decorative features to give it a more period feel. This is worth considering when choosing your design and it is a good idea to get expert advice about the possibility of adding features.

* Building Regulations - It is important that your conservatory fits in with building regulations. This needs to be checked before buying and construction. A professional installation team would typically do this for you, so with a DIY conservatory in Torquay you will need to check this yourself. There are some common guidelines which can be found on a web search, but your local authority should be consulted, especially if your property falls inside a conservation area or you have a Listed building.

* Outside Areas - Don't forget to examine the garden and external areas of your home and note any adjustments that need to be made for your conservatory. You will want to ensure your conservatory fits in rather than takes over your property. An architect or building surveyor should be able to provide detailed advice. It is important to note that planning rules may also apply to the demolition of portions of a building.

DIY conservatory kits are getting to be more popular these days. Self-build is really a fantastic solution which allows you to save cash on professional installation and also means you can add your own personalized touch. A conservatory is a great way to expand your property and add value to your home.
