Your conservatory project - from start to finish

1Design and Quotation

Call in an Anglian Conservatory Designer. He or she will take nominal measurements, answer your questions and give you a free, no obligation quote.

2Survey

A detailed survey follows. Our surveyor will check the site for things like drainage runs and floor levels and take accurate measurements needed for manufacture.

3Designed and Drawn

A CAD drawing of your bespoke conservatory will be sent to you for your records.

4The Law

Planning Permission and Building Regulations. Anglian will apply for these approvals where required.

5Manufacture

Every stage of manufacture is Quality Controlled in accordance with ISO 9001. All glass is toughened to BSEN 12150.

6Foundations

A foundation will be excavated to follow the shape of your conservatory. The depth of the foundations is traditionally 650mm. However, they will be excavated to a depth where a natural bearing strata is found and Anglian will excavate to a depth of 1000mm at no additional cost.

All surface water discharged from the conservatory guttering will be collected into a back inlet gulley and connected into a new soakaway or an existing rainwater system.

7Oversite

The area between the foundation trenches is called the oversite and will have all the topsoil removed. The trench is then filled with concrete (depending on the foundation type) to a level of two bricks below ground level. A plinth of brickwork is then laid to damp-proof course level. The oversite area is then backfilled using compacted hardcore to depth of 150mm and is finished off with a layer of fine sand known as blinding.

8DPM, DPC and Insulation

The damp-proof membrane is then laid with the edges overlapping the inside of the brick plinth. A damp-proof course is then laid on the outside of the brick plinth. A layer of 75mm insulation board is laid on top of the damp-proof membrane and acts as a thermal barrier to the ground to stop cold air penetrating from below and to keep warm air within the completed structure. A 100mm thick concrete base is laid on top of this.

9Base Wall (if specified)

The base-wall is also built at this time. All base walls will be of a cavity type and will have cavity insulation fitted. When the required curing time has elapsed, the installation of your conservatory can commence.

10Sills and Wallframes

With the building works now complete, Anglian's own conservatory installers arrive on site with your conservatory. The fully welded uPVC sill is put into place and the construction of the wall frames can commence.

11Frame Construction

The dedicated conservatory frames are connected together with aluminium coupling mullions, corner posts and/or bay poles. At the head of the frames, the eaves detail, including the guttering, is then installed.

12Roof Structure

The roof structure will then start to take shape. The aluminium rafters are secured into position and, with great care, the glass panels are installed in the roof.

13Completion

The conservatory is now complete and cleaned enabling you to furnish your new room and enjoy the new experience of using your very own Anglian conservatory.
