Extensions, conservatories and orangeries in Wakefield
When you need more space and moving house isn't the answer, this is the category. We're a house extension company based in Normanton, near Wakefield, covering Wakefield and the whole of West Yorkshire. Single-storey extensions, conservatories, orangeries, and warm roof upgrades, all designed and built by our own team from the Normanton base.
We’ve built over 1,000 projects across West Yorkshire and we’re still finding houses that need a proper rear extension, a replacement conservatory roof, or a conservatory that can actually be used in February.
The range
Traditional Conservatories
Traditional Victorian and Edwardian styles, lean-to designs, lantern roofs, and everything in between. Built to be used year-round with proper glazing, heating-friendly specifications, and solid foundations. Our core conservatories page is the starting point for any homeowner thinking about adding one.
Contemporary Orangeries
Design-led orangeries with cornice and pelmet detailing, solid roof elements, and premium finishes. The room between a conservatory and a proper extension, with the strengths of both.
Flat Roof Orangeries
Modern flat-roof orangery solutions with slim profiles, central roof lanterns, and thermal performance that makes them usable year-round. Popular on contemporary renovations.
Single Storey Extensions
Full-blown rear or side extensions built to your specification. Planning permission guidance, permitted development work, structural calculations, and the whole build from first drawing to final clean-down.
Replacement Conservatory Roofs
Got a conservatory that’s cold in winter and boiling in summer? The roof is almost always the problem. Upgrade options including tiled warm roofs and glass roof replacements keep the structure you already have and transform how it feels.
Warm Roof Conservatories
Tiled, insulated warm roof systems that let you use the room all year. Reduces road and rain noise, holds heat in winter, and keeps the space cool in summer.
Which type of living space suits your project?
A few shortcuts based on what most Yorkshire homeowners come to us with.
I want more living space and I’m willing to build properly
A single-storey extension is the answer. You get a solid brick or block structure, a proper roof, full insulation, and a room that’s indistinguishable from the rest of the house. Planning permission may be needed but most qualify for permitted development.
I want a bright garden room that feels like part of the house
A contemporary orangery with a solid roof and central lantern, or a flat-roof orangery. You get most of the light of a conservatory but with better thermal performance and a room that’s usable in every season.
I want a traditional conservatory
Victorian, Edwardian, lean-to or Georgian styling, with a glass roof that maximises light. Suited to period properties, gardens facing south or west, and homeowners who want the classic conservatory look.
My existing conservatory is cold and I want to fix it
A warm roof replacement. You keep the structure, we change the roof to a tiled, insulated system. The difference in temperature, noise, and usability is dramatic.
Built for Yorkshire weather
The single biggest mistake with conservatories in the UK is forgetting that the UK climate doesn’t suit a greenhouse attached to the house. Traditional glass-roof conservatories overheat in summer, lose heat in winter, and end up as dumping rooms.

We design around Yorkshire weather from the start. That means:
Solid or warm roofswherever they suit the property, because they transform year-round usability
High-performance glazingon the walls and windows
Proper foundationsthat deal with West Yorkshire clay and boggy garden ground
Heating and ventilation designso the room is part of the house, not a plant house
Dwarf wall constructionwhere the property demands it, with matching brick or stone
If your project means you want the greenhouse feel, we’ll still build it properly, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
The build process
From first conversation to final clean-down:
Step 1:
Initial chat and site visit to understand what you want and what the site allows
Step 2:
Design and drawings for the structure, roof, glazing, and finishes
Step 3:
Planning permission or permitted development check, managed by us
Step 4:
Written quote with a clear breakdown of costs and timelines
Step 5:
Build phase managed by our team, with FENSA and building regulations sign-off as required
Step 6:
Walk-through and handover with a clear guarantee document
Build times vary with scope. A conservatory or orangery is typically four to eight weeks on site. A single-storey extension is eight to sixteen weeks.
