Orangeries and conservatories built for Clifton homes
Clifton has a mix of housing styles, from the older brick terraces near the village and Clifton Hall to the larger post-war semis and detached homes across the estate. A well-planned orangery or conservatory suits all of them, giving you a sunny extra room without the cost or upheaval of a full brick extension.
Many Clifton homes have generous rear gardens that back onto green space, which makes them ideal for a garden room that connects the kitchen or living area to the outdoors. We take the time to understand how you want to use the space, whether that is a dining room, a family snug, or a quiet spot to enjoy the view.
Orangeries and conservatories can feel very different. A conservatory is mostly glass and floods the room with light, while an orangery uses more brick and a flat perimeter roof with a central lantern for a solid, room-like feel. We will help you pick the style that fits your home and your budget.

Planning and permissions in Clifton
Most orangeries and conservatories in Clifton fall under permitted development, which means you often will not need full planning permission. There are limits on how far a rear extension can project, how tall it can be, and how much of the garden it can cover.
Key points for Clifton homes
- Single-storey rear projections are usually limited to 3m for a terraced or semi, or 4m for a detached home.
- The structure must not cover more than half the land around the original house.
- Homes that have been extended before may have used up some permitted development rights.
- Building control still applies to foundations, glazing, and any structural openings.
- We confirm your position with Nottingham City Council before any work begins.
We handle the paperwork
From permitted development checks to building control sign-off, we manage the approvals so you do not have to. Our 100% planning success rate speaks for itself.

What Clifton homeowners say
Real reviews from orangery and conservatory projects across Clifton.
Our new orangery on the Clifton estate is the best thing we have done to the house. The lantern roof makes the whole kitchen feel brighter, and the team were tidy and on time throughout.
We wanted a conservatory that we could use in winter, not just summer. The solid roof they fitted keeps it warm and cosy, and the view over the garden in Clifton village is lovely. Very happy.
From the first survey to handover everything was clear and professional. They sorted all the paperwork with the council and finished our Farnborough Road conservatory ahead of schedule.
Common questions from Clifton homeowners
Usually not. Most conservatories in Clifton fall under permitted development if they stay within size and height limits. We check your home against the rules and confirm with Nottingham City Council before we start, so you always know where you stand.
A conservatory is mostly glass, so it feels very light and open. An orangery uses more brick and a flat perimeter roof with a central lantern, so it feels more like a solid room. Both work well on Clifton homes, and we will help you choose based on your budget and how you want to use the space.
A typical conservatory takes around two to four weeks, while a larger orangery can take four to eight weeks depending on groundwork and finishes. We give you a clear timeline for your Clifton project before we begin.
Yes. With modern insulated roofs, A-rated glazing, and heating, our Clifton orangeries and conservatories stay comfortable through winter and summer. This is a big improvement on older single-glazed conservatories that were too cold or too hot to use.
A well-built orangery or conservatory is an attractive feature for buyers in the Clifton market, adding usable living space and light. Quality of build matters, which is why we use insulated roofs and proper foundations rather than cheap bolt-on kits.
