Installation Of The Month Archive
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...
Gables wrapped around the house
3rd March 2008
Nice design this one. An L Shaped Gable with low top vents that wraps around the rear corner of the house. Inside it connects three rooms. The clients are so pleased they contracted Admiral to replace the flat extension roof in Lifetime...
Room for the kids to play
3rd February 2008
This was originally built as a room for parents to escape to. The kids had other ideas. They love the light, space and proximity to the garden. Mum and Dad console themselves with the fact that the floor is easier to clean off muddy shoe...
Old Customer...new conservatory look
3rd November 2007
This job was carried out on behalf of one of Admirals earliest customers. We have completed window contracts on the clients last house as well as the current address. A conservatory was already fitted on to the house when they moved in some...
Gable L Shaped
3rd October 2007
This gable design makes the maximum use of space with a very attractive roof design. Note how the client has specified plenty of opening windows, essential for the summer months. The top fanlights have bevelled stained glass units to complete...
Nice angle on a lovely installation
3rd August 2007
This is simple and elegant. Although a white conservatory was required the client was very specific in wanting hardwood frames. Ourselves and the clients are both delighted with the look of the conservatory. The georgian fanlights and glass...
The Lean To is not dead
3rd July 2007
We hate to call them Lean To conservatories but have to admit that a simple leaning roof can still look as good as any other design on the right property. Generally bigger is better as with this recent installation.
Cottage Conservatory
3rd June 2007
Even for older properties, a sympathetic design will ensure that the conservatory adds to both house and cottage garden.
Wood effect looks so real
3rd May 2007
If you do not wish to have white PVC frames, a world of colour is now available. Without paying the extra for a special paint process which allows for any RAL colour, we have three standard options. Rosewood as shown, Light Oak and Green. All...
Stoned Love............
3rd April 2007
The natural stone used for this is a Supreme match (sorry!) making the installation a rather elegant addition, despite being a basic lean to design. It goes to show that curves and hipped roofs are not always the best way to design a...
