Orangeries and conservatories built for Gedling homes
Gedling has a real mix of housing, from 1930s semis in Carlton and Arnold to newer estates around Gedling village and larger period homes near Mapperley. An orangery or conservatory can add the extra room these homes often lack without the cost or upheaval of a full brick extension.
A conservatory is mostly glazed, so it feels light and open and connects you to the garden. An orangery uses more brick, solid corner pillars and a flat perimeter roof with a central glass lantern, so it feels more like a true extension of the house and holds its warmth better through a Nottinghamshire winter.
We survey your plot, check ground conditions and the position of drains, then design a room that suits how you actually live, whether that is a quiet reading spot or a busy family kitchen-diner spilling out to the garden.

Benefits for Gedling homeowners
- More usable space – a bright new room for dining, relaxing or working, without moving house.
- Warm all year – modern glazing and insulated roofs mean the room works in a cold Gedling January, not just summer.
- Matched to your home – brickwork, roof lines and window styles chosen to suit local Carlton and Arnold house types.
- Added value – a well-built orangery is a strong selling point for family homes across the Gedling borough.
- Garden connection – wide doors and low sills open your living space out to the garden.
- Less disruption – much of the structure goes up quickly, so your home stays liveable during the build.

Planning notes for Gedling
What to know before you build
Many orangeries and conservatories in Gedling fall under permitted development, but limits apply on size, height and how far you build to the rear or side. Rules are tighter for terraced homes, and stricter again if your property sits within the Burton Joyce or Woodborough conservation areas or is listed.
Single-storey rear projections are usually capped at 3m for a semi or terrace and 4m for a detached home under permitted development, with a maximum height limit near boundaries. Building control approval is still needed for foundations, glazing and any structural opening into the house.
We deal with Gedling Borough Council on your behalf and confirm exactly what your home needs before any work starts.

We check your permitted development rights and handle every planning and building control step for you. No guesswork, no surprises.

What Gedling homeowners say
Our orangery in Carlton has completely changed how we use the house. It is warm even in winter and the lantern roof floods it with light. The team kept everything tidy and stuck to the quote.
We had a conservatory added to our semi in Arnold. They sorted the planning side with the council and finished ahead of schedule. It is now our favourite room in the house.
Fantastic kitchen-diner orangery at our Mapperley home. Clear pricing, proper foundations and a lovely insulated roof. Would happily recommend them to anyone in Gedling.
Common questions
Many conservatories in Gedling are covered by permitted development, so no full planning application is needed. Limits apply to size and height, and rules are tighter in the Burton Joyce and Woodborough conservation areas. We confirm your position before we start.
A conservatory is mostly glass and feels light and open. An orangery uses more brick with solid pillars and a flat roof around a central glass lantern, so it feels closer to a solid extension and holds heat better. Both work well on Gedling homes.
Yes. With modern insulated glazing, a warm roof and the right heating, an orangery stays comfortable through a cold Nottinghamshire winter and cool in summer, so you get a true extra room rather than a seasonal space.
A conservatory usually takes 3-5 weeks on site. An orangery typically takes 6-10 weeks depending on size and groundworks. We give you a clear timeline with your quote so you know what to expect.
