The addition of a conservatory is usually a more cost-effective solution than moving. Also, conservatories enable us to make the most of the garden whether it's raining or not, so it's easy to understand their popularity.

What can a conservatory be used for?

• Nowadays, a growing trend for larger kitchens with a dining table or informal living area has had an impact on the way conservatories and orangeries are linked to the home.

• If the conservatory is to accommodate a new kitchen or open-plan living area, then access provided by a single door will be inadequate.

• Opening up the back of the house into the conservatory requires substantial structural alterations, which, although perfectly feasible, will mean planning regulations apply.
