What does a conservatory cost in the UK?

Facet Pro is in beta. Our measurement of wall area from a photograph is still being calibrated against surveyed properties, so treat wall and roof figures as indicative and window figures as a guide.

The short answerBetween £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 computed from a supplier rate card.

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 those five trades from one photograph, 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.

These are estimates for planning, from real supplier and labour rates — not a quotation, and not a survey. 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.
