Our Conservatory Repair Service
At David Fennings, our conservatory repair service benefits from over 40 years of industry expertise, allowing us to expertly address a wide range of issues that often affect conservatories, such as structural defects due to poor design or construction. Common problems include leaks often caused by substandard roofing or inadequate lead flashing at junctions with the house.
Our comprehensive services extend to underpinning shifted bases due to subsidence and redesigning faulty drainage systems.
We specialise in replacing sealed glass units, installing new locks, and repairing or replacing glazing rubbers and gaskets. Our expertise in lead flashing repairs is particularly crucial for conservatories adjoining porous materials, ensuring long-term protection against water ingress.
For eligible homeowners, certain repairs may qualify for insurance claims related to subsidence, storm damage, or other accidental impacts. We use high-quality materials and provide detailed analyses to support viable insurance claims, ensuring your conservatory is not only repaired but enhanced for lasting enjoyment.
What Might Cause a Conservatory to Need Repairs?
There are several reasons why your conservatory might require attention. Understanding these can help you maintain the integrity and beauty of this cherished room in your home.
Reasons include:
- Weather Damage: The UK’s variable climate can be harsh on conservatory structures. High winds, heavy rain, and snow can all lead to deterioration, particularly affecting conservatory roofs and frames.
- Wear and Tear: Over time, general wear and tear can impact the conservatory’s doors, roof, and window mechanisms, which may need repairs or replacements to ensure they function correctly and securely.
- Leakage: Roof and glass seals can degrade, leading to water ingress. This is not only a nuisance but can also cause further damage if not addressed promptly.
- Thermal Efficiency: Older conservatories might suffer from poor insulation. Upgrading the glass or the entire conservatory roof can significantly improve heat retention and reduce energy costs.
- Aesthetic Upgrades: Sometimes, a conservatory might simply need an update to better match the evolving style of your home or to refresh its appearance due to ageing materials.
By addressing these issues, you ensure that your conservatory remains a beautiful, functional extension of your living space. If you’re noticing signs of wear or damage in your conservatory, don’t hesitate to contact us for expert advice and repair services.
Conservatory Replacements
We specialise in Conservatory Repairs, offering tailored solutions that resonate with the individual aesthetics and functional needs of your home. Our extensive experience in Dorset has equipped us to adeptly handle a variety of property types—from quaint rural cottages to majestic manor houses—ensuring that each conservatory not only complements but enhances its setting.
Our expertise spans across a broad spectrum of designs, with Victorian and Edwardian styles being particularly popular. For Victorian conservatories, we provide options ranging from three to five bay fronts, adaptable to different garden layouts and personal preferences.
The versatility of our designs allows for modifications like extended front bays or varied roof pitches, ideally between 20º and 45º, to suit structural and aesthetic requirements.
Edwardian conservatories, with their classic square or rectangular bases, offer a straightforward elegance that integrates seamlessly with any property. These designs maximise usable space without the loss of architectural integrity, often preferred for their clean lines and practical layout.
Every repair and construction project we undertake is approached with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Whether you’re enhancing existing structures or seeking comprehensive repairs, our goal is to provide a conservatory that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, ensuring it remains a cherished part of your home for years to come.
Orangeries vs Conservatories
Orangeries and conservatories both offer elegant expansions to your home, but they differ significantly in structure and aesthetic. An orangery typically features a substantial brick base with fewer but larger windows and a lantern-style roof, making it feel more like a natural extension of the home.
This construction offers enhanced thermal insulation and privacy. In contrast, conservatories are predominantly glass, including the roof, which creates a brighter, airier space that brings the outdoors inside. The high glass content maximises natural light, making conservatories ideal for enjoying panoramic garden views.
While orangeries blend seamlessly with the existing architecture, conservatories stand out as a glass sanctuary, offering a distinct connection to the surrounding landscape.
