Orangeries and conservatories built for Carlton homes
Carlton has a real mix of housing, from the bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Carlton Hill to the 1930s semis and post-war family homes spread across Gedling and Porchester. A well-designed orangery or conservatory suits all of them, giving you a bright dining space, garden room or extra sitting area without the disruption of a full brick extension.
The difference between the two comes down to the roof and the feel. A conservatory is mostly glazed and floods the room with light, while an orangery uses a flat perimeter roof with a central glazed lantern and more solid brick or column detailing, so it reads as part of the house. Many Carlton clients choose an orangery when they want a room that stays comfortable in a cold Nottinghamshire winter and a hot summer.
We look at how your new room connects to the kitchen or living space, where the light falls across the day, and how it sits against your existing brickwork so the finished build looks like it was always there.

📋 Planning and building rules in Carlton
Many orangeries and conservatories in Carlton fall under permitted development, so they do not need full planning permission, as long as they stay within size, height and boundary limits. Rear projections, side positions and how much of your garden you cover all affect this.
Building regulations usually apply once you exceed the glazed-extension exemptions or link the room fully into the house. If your Carlton property is in a conservation area or is listed, extra rules apply. We check your specific situation during the survey and handle the paperwork, which is how we keep our 100% planning success rate.

What Carlton homeowners say
We added a warm-roof orangery onto our 1930s semi off Carlton Hill and it is now the room we use most. The brick match to the original house is spot on and the team kept everything tidy.
Our conservatory near Gedling Road was freezing in the old house, so this time we went for an upgraded glazed roof. Warm all winter and the survey and quote were clear from day one.
They handled the building regs paperwork for our Porchester orangery and gave us honest advice on what we did and did not need. Finished on time and the lantern roof looks brilliant.
