Regency Conservatories

A love of gardening gave Jill, a cook, the idea of expanding her 10ft x 6ft kitchen out into the garden through a conservatory rather than a brick-built extension.

A speculative phone call from Anglian Home Improvements prompted another look at the situation, but it wasn’t just a question of right place, right time – it was confidence in the products and workmanship offered that gave Jill the impetus to go one step further.

“The workmen were smashing at every stage,” says Jill. From planning to footings to finishing – there was attention to detail and a willingness to go the extra mile to minimise disruption. The plasterer even returned on a day off to finish an unforeseen problem and a solution was found to the rear access dilemma.”

The outcome is a wonderfully airy and bright arena in which Jill can indulge in her great passion of cooking. She has a run of workspace and breakfast bar overlooking the garden on one side of the Regency conservatory, and cupboards, oven, hob and sink on the other.

When a representative from Anglian Home Improvements contacted Tony Jackson, he was already receptive to the possibility of installing a conservatory, but wary of doing so. The age and character of his house needed special consideration and was complicated by the fact that the only suitable place to build a conservatory had a low roof line.

This could have proved a problem for less flexible designs, but working with a skilled Anglian designer enabled an entirely suitable solution to be formulated. Not only were the planning considerations specific to older dwellings satisfied, the designs were entirely in keeping with the aesthetics of the house – part of which is several hundred years old.

“It was Anglian’s initiative and sympathetic attention to the special design aspects that made them a clear choice,” says Jo. Tony and Jo went on to have door and window replacements fitted by Anglian, again carefully considering the impact these would have on the appearance of their house.

When Mr & Mrs Moss decided to add a Victorian style conservatory to their home, they wanted to create some extra space to live in and a better view of their garden. “It was an additional room we could use”, said Mr Moss, “It was something we thought would enhance the house”.

Mrs Moss agreed: “It’s a good size, so it’s a really useful space which we can use for different occasions – for dining and other things.”

Modern uPVC and glass make Anglian conservatories usable all year round. They’re warmer in winter, thanks to their ability to keep heat in and cold air out. And, our exclusive Solaroof system maintains a cooler temperature in the summer by reflecting virtually all of the sun’s ultra-violet radiation heat.

The couple chose Anglian to build their conservatory because they wanted to work with a company who could handle all aspects of the project with quality craftsmanship at a fair price. They also chose to personalise their conservatory by adding decorative glass. “We were pleased with the product and the workmanship – they have always been extremely helpful,” said Mr Moss.
