Your new conservatory will be completely bespoke to your needs and preferences. We utilise high-quality uPVC, timber and aluminium materials to create stunning spaces that complement your existing property perfectly. All our conservatories use leading glazing systems specifically designed to keep your space comfortable throughout the year, meaning lower heating bills and improved security too. Below, we'll introduce you to the different conservatory styles available to homeowners across Derbyshire and the East Midlands.

Victorian conservatories

The Victorian conservatory style dates back to the Victorian era when Queen Victoria made these elegant glass structures incredibly fashionable across Britain. Today, they remain one of the most popular types of conservatories for good reason.

A Victorian conservatory features a distinctive bay front, usually three-faceted or five-faceted, with a steeply pitched roof that creates a sense of grandeur. The curved or angled bay design maximises your available space whilst adding real character to your home's exterior.

Key benefits include:
• Works beautifully with both period property and modern homes
• The bay front creates additional floor space in the corners
• Ornate ridge details add traditional elegance
• Floods your home with natural light from multiple angles
• The classic style adds significant value and kerb appeal

Edwardian conservatories

Named after the Edwardian era, this style (also called a Georgian conservatory) takes a more practical approach to design. If you're looking to maximise usable floor space, an Edwardian style conservatory could be your best choice.

Unlike the Victorian conservatory style with its bay front, an Edwardian conservatory features a square or rectangular shape with a flat front. This simple geometry means you get more usable space inside, making furniture placement much easier.

Key benefits include:
• Rectangular shape maximises every inch of available space
• Clean lines suit contemporary and traditional properties alike
• The pitched roof provides excellent height and light
• Perfect for creating a dining area or home office
• More cost-effective than complex shapes

Gable-fronted conservatories

A gable-fronted conservatory makes a bold architectural statement. The front of the roof remains upright rather than sloping, creating a triangular gable end that mirrors the end wall of a traditional house.

This roof style provides impressive internal height and a real sense of space. Large windows at the gable end allow natural light to pour in, whilst the vertical front creates a grand, imposing look from outside.

Key benefits include:
• Maximum internal height for a spacious, airy feel
• The upright gable front is perfect for larger properties
• Allows for tall windows that frame views of the garden beautifully
• Creates a dramatic focal point for your home
• Works particularly well with double-height glazing

Lean-to conservatories (Mediterranean style)

Sometimes called a Mediterranean or sunroom style, the lean-to conservatory features the simplest design of all. As the name suggests, the single sloping roof literally "leans" against your property's wall.

This straightforward approach makes lean-to conservatories ideal for bungalows or properties with height restrictions. They're also typically the most cost-effective option, perfect if you're working within a tighter budget but still want that extra space.

Key benefits include:
• Perfect for properties with limited height or under eaves
• The simplest, most affordable conservatory option
• Modern flat roof or gentle slope suits contemporary homes
• Easy to integrate with existing architecture
• Quick to design and install

P-shape/T-shape conservatories

When you need substantial extra space, a P-shape conservatory combines two styles into one larger structure. Typically, this means blending a Victorian-style bay with a lean-to section, creating a distinctive P-shaped footprint. This can also be achieved in a T-shape style.

This combination design gives you the best of both worlds, for instance you could setup a formal area in the bay section and a more casual space in the lean-to portion. It's perfect for larger properties where you want to create multiple zones within your conservatory.

Key benefits include:
• Provides generous space for multiple uses
• Creates distinct areas for dining and relaxing
• Impressive visual impact on larger homes
• The varied roof style adds architectural interest
• Ideal for corner plots or longer rear elevations

What are the benefits of modern conservatories?

Today's conservatories are light years ahead of older designs. Here's what you can expect from a modern conservatory:

Better thermal performance and comfort: Modern double glazing and triple glazed pane options, combined with super-insulated frames, mean your conservatory stays warm in winter and cool in summer. This improved insulation dramatically reduces energy bills whilst creating a genuinely usable space year-round.
Superior security: Multi-point locking systems and toughened glazing provide excellent security, giving you complete peace of mind.
Noise reduction: Advanced glazing technology significantly reduces outside noise, creating a peaceful environment.
Low maintenance: Modern uPVC and aluminium frames require virtually no upkeep, whilst timber options come with protective treatments that make maintenance minimal.
Adds value: A well-designed conservatory can add significant value to your property whilst improving your quality of life immediately.
