Installation Of The Month
Inside an Orangery
12th August 2010
Notice how different the feel of an orangery is to a conservatory. The natural evolution of the garden room combines the light and view afforded by a conservatory with the solid comfortable feel of...
What an entrance
14th June 2010
First impressions count...so they say. This beautiful entrance door is made from solid oak that has been engineered to ensure no warping,twisting or shrinkage...ever. The price is not for the faint hearted but if you want...
Artists appreciation of the light from above
20th April 2010
If you want to know about the importance of light...ask an artist. The lady of this house works in the arts and has a passion for creating her own art works at home. She had desired a home studio for many years and on visiting...
Room at the Top
6th April 2010
This loft conversion creates the most space possible for a large bedroom and massive luxury bathroom. Using Dormers like this increases the useable head height internally and turns a plain roof into a much more attractive elevation. It is...
Maintenance Issue resolved permanently
3rd January 2010
Our PVC Roofline team have complained that their installations are never featured, so here goes! It may not be glamorous to show PVC roofline products but the fact is that it is one of the biggest headaches and a thankless task...
Orangery Roof
3rd November 2009
This photo illustrates why Orangery roofing is becoming so popular. The plinth around the glass walls gives a much more room like feel to the building. The trend towards Orangery design has led us to develop with our main...
New Roof Changes Conservatory
3rd September 2009
This client called us because the conservatory that was inherited on house purchase was designed poorly. It had a flat roof that was suffering leaks and mould build up due to its low pitch. In the summer it was too hot and in winter the...
Lifetime Flat Roof Solution
3rd August 2009
OK I admit it is hard to make a flat roof replacement look glamorous! I promised out Roofing Manager Mike that we would include one of his jobs as an Installation of The Month. The photo may not look fancy but the customer is...
Cambridge Roof Top Conservatory
3rd July 2009
Cambridge Arts College in the centre of Cambridge wanted a new staff room and decided a grey conservatory would be ideal. This sounded a straightforward commission until we found out where it was to be built. It is not the first conservatory...
Hand made timber conservatory
3rd June 2009
This listed building would only be allowed a direct replacement for the existing conservatory that had been in place for many years. Our own joiner constructed every frame by hand in the workshop and took them to site. He carefully removed the...
The worlds most difficult door ?
3rd May 2009
We scratched our heads when the client asked us to replace this arched set of french doors in timber. The factory in Poland doubted that even they could make them to comply with our rigid insulation specification. We all persevered...took a...
Bygone Range of Sash replacements
3rd April 2009
Lots of windows that were draughty and a painting headache. Problem solved by Admiral. We specified the Bygone Range from Masterframe, undoubtedly the very best PVC maintenance free sliding windows available. Draughts and heat loss will no...
Coloured Conservatories
3rd March 2009
We not only offer coloured frames in timber, we can build to virtually any colour choice in PVC and Aluminium. This carefully chosen shade of green was the choice for framing the extensive glass and view for a T shaped building.
We build patios too
3rd January 2009
Showing off our full capabilities, the brief was to knock through a blank wall at the side of the house plus design and build a patio area. Building control approval and structural calcs were required for the works. The client is delighted...
Loft Bedroom Dormer: Making the most of the space available
1st January 2009
Three storey living is now a reality for Mr & Mrs W in a village near Newmarket. A large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom has transformed the house. The dormer area built into the roof has created enough space for a whirlpool bath. Luxury...
Raising the roof
3rd October 2008
A fairly plain design of hardwood conservatory can be transformed by simply raising the angle of the sloping roof. This was done to match the adjacent tiled roof but we can supply any angle from five degrees to fifty. Another way to...
Green Hardwood
3rd September 2008
Mr & Mrs R from Cambridgeshire feel that this conservatory literally transformed the whole of the rear elevation of their home. We were commissioned to build a substantial patio afterwards, as the quality of our workmanship so impressed.
Orangery in PVC
3rd August 2008
Extension or Conservatory? I suppose Orangeries are the best of both worlds. Modern Orangeries such as this one incorporate our new glass lantern and rubberbond fleeceback roofing providing a maintenance free Old World design.
Tiled Garden Room
3rd May 2008
This is the epitome of modern style. A tiled roof with glazed Velux windows and a huge folding door that opens up the whole wall. Massive space and a fantastic home improvement project.
Any age of property can look good
2nd May 2008
with the addition of a conservatory. OK this is a Garden Room concept rather than a conservatory. The inside is terrific, opening up the kitchen and providing a cosy family area. The ceiling is vaulted giving a conservatory feel rather than...
