Conservatories in Leicester

In many cases, no planning permission is needed because conservatories can fall under permitted development rights. However, rules depend on the size, height, position, and your property type, so listed buildings, flats, conservation areas, and some new builds may still need approval.

Conservatory prices in Leicester usually start from around £12,000 and can rise to £30,000+ depending on the size, style, materials and roof type you choose. A simple Lean-To conservatory will cost less than a bespoke T-Shape with a solid roof. We provide fixed-price quotes based on your exact design, so you know what to expect from the outset.

Building your new conservatory with Phair Windows is an easy and seamless process. We guide you through the whole process, from the first conversation to the finished build, so you know exactly what to expect.

In short, we:

1. Design & CAD: We start by helping you choose and refine your bespoke conservatory design using advanced CAD.
2. Site Preparation: We mark out and prepare the site, removing obstructions and digging footings.
3. Base Construction: We build the foundations, lay the damp-proof course, concrete the floor, and construct the dwarf walls.
4. Framework & Glazing: We then erect the uPVC framework and roof, followed by the installation of glass units and roof panels.

The job is not complete until you’re 100% satisfied with your new conservatory. You’ll also receive all of the relevant paperwork. 

The size of a conservatory that can be built without permission varies depending on factors such as location and whether it is a detached or semi-detached/terraced property. The maximum size is generally 30 square metres or less, and it should not extend further than the original rear wall by more than 4 metres for a detached house or 3 metres for a semi-detached or terraced property. Always verify with the local planning authority for any additional specifications.

An orangery and a conservatory are quite different. An orangery has a brick structure with some windows covering less than 50% of the walls and a glass roof covering less than 75% of the roof area. Whereas a conservatory is made up of at least 50% glass with a brick base and pitched glazed roof covering more than 75% of the roof area. This is the general rule, however, all styles of conservatories and orangeries vary from property to property.

Yes, conservatories by Phair Windows are highly secure using the latest double glazing technology and locking systems. All of our conservatories are made with premium-grade materials and fitted with high-security locking systems to keep any possible burglars out.
