A Room You Can Use Every Day of the Year
An orangery sits between a conservatory and a full extension. It combines brick pillars, a flat perimeter roof and a glazed roof lantern, so you get plenty of natural light without the temperature swings a fully glazed conservatory suffers from. For many Arnold homeowners it is the ideal way to add a garden room, dining space or open-plan kitchen extension.
We have built orangeries on a wide mix of Arnold housing, including 1930s semis around Arno Vale, ex-council homes near Killisick and larger plots up towards Mapperley Plains. Each build starts with a free survey where we check ground conditions, drainage runs and how the sun tracks across your garden, then we design a structure that suits your home and budget.
Because an orangery is built with proper foundations, insulated walls and a warm perimeter roof, it counts as habitable space and adds real value when you come to sell. Local agents in Arnold regularly cite well-built orangeries as a strong selling point on family homes.
Best For
Kitchen-diners, garden rooms, home offices and open-plan living where you want maximum light but year-round comfort.
Typical Arnold Build
A 4m x 4m orangery with a roof lantern, bi-fold doors and underfloor heating takes around 8-10 weeks on site.
Benefits of an Orangery Extension in Arnold
- Year-round comfort – insulated walls and a warm roof mean it stays usable in January, unlike an old-style conservatory.
- Natural light – a glazed roof lantern floods the room with daylight, ideal on the shorter plots common in Arnold.
- Adds real value – a brick-built orangery is treated as habitable space, typically adding more to your home’s value than a conservatory.
- Often no planning needed – many Arnold orangeries fall under permitted development, and we confirm this for you before we start.
- Lower running costs – modern glazing and insulation keep heating bills sensible compared with fully glazed structures.
- Blends with your home – brickwork matched to your existing house so it looks like it has always been there.

What Arnold Homeowners Say
“Our orangery has completely changed how we use the back of the house. Warm in winter, bright all year, and the brickwork matches our 1930s semi perfectly. The team were tidy and always on time.”
“From survey to handover it took just under ten weeks. They dealt with Gedling council for the paperwork and kept us updated every week. The roof lantern is the star of the show.”
“We compared three local firms and this was the only one that gave a proper fixed quote. No surprises on price, and the finished orangery kitchen is better than the drawings promised.”
Orangery Extension FAQs – Arnold
Often not. Most single-storey rear orangeries in Arnold fall within permitted development limits. If your design goes beyond those limits, we prepare and submit the application to Gedling Borough Council for you and only start building once it is approved.

An orangery has brick walls or pillars with a flat insulated perimeter roof and a central glass lantern, so it holds heat like a normal room. A conservatory is mostly glass with a fully glazed roof, which makes it colder in winter and hotter in summer.
On-site work usually takes 8-12 weeks for a typical Arnold orangery, plus 4-8 weeks beforehand for design and any planning approvals. We give you a written programme before work starts so you know what happens each week.
Yes, in most cases. Because an orangery is a fully insulated, brick-built room it counts as habitable floor space, and local Arnold agents typically value it more highly than a conservatory. Well-designed builds often return a good share of their cost at resale.
