Conservatories
A conservatory remains the most cost-effective and least disruptive way to add permanent space.
Orangeries
An orangery offers more solid space similar to an extension, with light streaming through the lantern roof.
Garden Buildings
A garden room gives you valuable additional space for a home office or living space without extending your home.
Extend Your Living Space
If you're starting to feel short of space, moving isn't your only option. Creating additional living space can completely change the way you use your home, whether you're looking for somewhere to relax, work, entertain guests or simply enjoy your garden throughout the year.
There are several ways to extend your living space without the cost and disruption of a traditional extension. Conservatories, orangeries, verandas and garden buildings each offer different benefits, allowing you to create anything from a light-filled room connected to your home to a separate space dedicated to work, hobbies or leisure.
The best choice depends on how you want to use the space, the style of your property and how closely you want the new area to connect with your home and garden. On this page, we'll explore the options available and help you find the right solution for your home.
Ways to Add More Space to Your Home
The range of options available today is greater than ever.
A conservatory remains one of the most popular ways to add a bright, versatile room with panoramic garden views, while an orangery offers a more substantial feel with a combination of glazing and solid construction.
If you're looking to make better use of your patio or outdoor seating area, a veranda can provide shelter from both sun and rain, helping you enjoy your garden throughout the year.
For complete flexibility, a garden building creates additional space away from the main house, making it ideal for a home office, gym, studio or simply somewhere to escape and unwind.
Each solution creates space in a different way, so the right choice depends on how you want to live, work and relax in your home.

The choice of roof plays a big part in how a conservatory looks and feels to use.
Glass roofs bring in the most natural light and give a bright, open atmosphere, while modern glazing helps manage heat and glare.
Polycarbonate is a lighter, cost-effective option that still allows good light through, often used where budget is a key consideration.
Solid tiled roofs create a more room-like feel, improving insulation and reducing noise from rain, which makes the space easier to use throughout the year.
Want the benefit of light and all-year use? Consider a hybrid roof. Solid tiles with large glass panels.
Each option can be tailored to suit how you want to use the conservatory and the level of comfort you are looking for. We'll guide you through the options.
uPVC Orangeries
An orangery offers a balance between a traditional extension and a conservatory, creating a bright, comfortable room that feels fully integrated with your home.
Modern orangeries can be designed in a variety of ways, from classic styles with substantial pillars and decorative features to contemporary designs with large expanses of glass and slimline frames.
Roof options range from glazed lanterns that flood the room with natural light to more solid structures that create a cosy, year-round living space.
Whether you're extending a kitchen, creating a dining room, adding a garden lounge or designing an open-plan family area, an orangery can be tailored to complement both your property and the way you live.
Garden Rooms and Offices
A garden room is one of the most flexible ways to create additional living space. By making use of an underused area of your garden, you can add a completely separate room without changing the layout of your home. Whether you're looking for a dedicated workspace, a home gym, a creative studio, a games room or simply somewhere to relax with a little peace and quiet, a garden room can be designed around your lifestyle.
Modern garden rooms have come a long way from the simple summer houses of the past. High levels of insulation, quality glazing and durable construction allow them to be used comfortably throughout the year, making them a genuine extension of your living space.
Available in a wide range of sizes and styles, from compact garden offices to larger multi-purpose buildings, a garden room offers the freedom to create the space you need while maintaining a strong connection to your outdoor surroundings.
Verandas
A veranda creates a sheltered outdoor space that allows you to enjoy your garden more often throughout the year.
Attached to the side or rear of your home, a veranda provides protection from both rain and strong sunshine, making it possible to sit outside, entertain guests or dine outdoors in greater comfort. It also helps create a natural transition between your home and garden, encouraging you to make more use of your outdoor space.
Modern verandas are available in a variety of styles and configurations, from simple open structures to designs that incorporate side glazing, sliding glass panels, integrated lighting and heating.
Whether you're covering a patio, creating an outdoor seating area or providing shelter over a hot tub, a veranda can be tailored to suit the way you live and the appearance of your home.
A veranda is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create the feeling of additional living space without undertaking major building work.
