FAQ's

Why do you use timber? Does it need any maintenance?

Only with timber can you obtain the required amount of detail in the finish that distinguishes our unique designs. Plastic is cold and unsympathetic and quite inappropriate for many of our customers homes. Natural oils present resist water penetration and contribute to the longevity of the timber. All timber used comes from managed sustainable plantations. After planing and jointing, the assembled timber goes through an automated painting and drying process which includes base and top coats providing a factory finished product completed to an exceptionally high standard. This means that there is no requirement for on-site painting other than some touching up. Where you live and how exposed your conservatory is will determine how often it should be repainted. As a general rule though, we would recommend your conservatory is repainted every three to five years using a micro-porous paint.

What special tools will I need?

Most competent self-builders will have the necessary plant and equipment to complete the installation. However, from a convenience and safety point of view, a light access scaffold tower is extremely useful when assembling the roof and installing the lead flashing. A scaffold tower can be hired from most hire shops throughout the country.

Are there any hidden extras in the cost?
