What moves the price
Size and glazing do most of it. A larger footprint costs more in every direction at once — more frame, more glass, more base — and the roof specification matters as much as the floor area: a lightweight tiled roof is a different job from polycarbonate.
Groundworks are the line people do not budget for. A level garden with easy access is a different price from one that needs a retaining wall, drainage moved, or materials carried through the house.
And a conservatory is rarely the only work. If the windows or roofline are due anyway, doing them together saves paying twice for the same scaffold — which is why the visualiser prices windows, doors, walls, roofline and roof together from a photo of the front, even though it cannot price the conservatory itself.
Why we will not pretend to price this from a photograph
Every other cost on this site is computed from the same rate card the estimate uses, and changes when that changes. This page cannot work that way, because nothing in a photograph of the front of a house tells you the size of a conservatory that does not exist yet.
So these are broad ranges for comparing styles, and the honest next step is a conversation rather than a number. Tell us which style appeals when you save your design and it travels with your enquiry.
Planning estimate or quotation?
Every figure on this page is a planning estimate: what a job like this typically costs, for budgeting and for judging the quotes you get. It is not a quotation. A quotation comes from an installer after a survey, when the exact sizes, specification and condition of your house are known.
Facet Pro narrows the estimate to your own house from a photograph of the front — the windows it can see, the wall it can measure against your front door — and says which parts are measured and which are estimated for your house type. Your installer confirms the figure on survey.
Common questions
What does a conservatory cost in the UK?
Between £10,000 and £45,000 depending on style and size — a lean-to is the cheapest way in, an orangery the most expensive. These are guide ranges, not quotations: unlike the window, door, wall and roof figures on this site, they are not worked out from our price list for a house like yours.
Facet Pro is in early access. We are starting to check how we measure wall area from a photograph against surveyed properties, so treat wall and roof figures as indicative and window figures as a guide.
Which style are you after?
A conservatory is the one job here we cannot price from a photograph — size, glazing, groundworks and access decide it, and none of those are in a picture of the front of a house. What we can do is show the eight styles side by side with what people pay for each, and note which one appeals so it is on the table when somebody talks to you.

These are planning estimates — not a quotation, and not a survey. Windows and doors: what these jobs typically sell for, from 25 years in the home improvement industry, checked against current UK prices. Render, roof and roofline: UK material and labour rates, with scaffolding, waste and VAT. What you pay depends on your own house and, more than anything else, on which company quotes it. Your installer confirms the figure on survey. Prices checked October 2026.
