Building Mr Atkins’ Hipped Back Edwardian Conservatory
Derek chose to work with a ConservatoryLand Approved Installer to ensure a hassle-free installation process.
Having placed his order while still in his previous home, Derek was delighted with how quickly everything came together. Within two weeks of moving into his new house, the conservatory was installed and ready to use.
More importantly, by using the ConservaBase foundation system, the installation required minimal disruption to Derek’s new home.
Delivery was timely, with everything arriving as expected. The installation itself was efficient and stress-free, taking just a couple of days to complete. He couldn’t fault the installers for their professionalism.
With only one lounge in his home, the conservatory has become a valuable addition for Derek and his wife.
Its north-facing position ensures it remains comfortable throughout the year, providing a cosy retreat for quiet evenings together or when hosting family and friends.
The white PVCu frames, paired with the blue self cleaning solar control glass roof, and old millhouse brick and sandstone mortar, created a bright and inviting space that perfectly matched the aesthetic of Derek’s home.
Mr Atkins’ shared how “It’s a fantastic addition, and everyone who visits comments on how great it looks.” Friends and visitors frequently ask where Derek got his conservatory, impressed by how seamlessly it fits into the property.
