A brighter room built to last
An orangery sits neatly between a conservatory and a full brick extension. You get generous glazing and a glowing roof lantern, but the solid brick pillars and insulated flat-roof perimeter mean the room stays warm in winter and cool in summer. For West Bridgford homeowners, that usually means a kitchen-diner, garden room or family space that feels like part of the house rather than a bolt-on.
Many homes around West Bridgford, from the Edwardian villas near Central Avenue to the 1930s semis off Melton Road, suit an orangery because it respects the existing brickwork while opening the rear up to the garden. We match your bricks, set the lantern to sit in proportion with the roofline, and finish with the same care inside as out.
Best for: families who want a light-filled kitchen or living space that is usable every month of the year, without the temperature swings of an older-style conservatory.

What West Bridgford homeowners say
Real reviews from local orangery projects.
Our orangery has completely changed how we use the back of the house. It is warm in winter, which our old conservatory never was. The team were tidy and on time throughout.
They matched the brickwork on our 1930s semi so well that visitors think it was always there. The roof lantern makes the kitchen feel twice the size. Highly recommend.
From survey to handover everything was clear and the quote did not change. Our new dining orangery is bright all year and the garden feels part of the room now.
