Conservatories for Addlestone homes
A conservatory is one of the simplest ways to gain space without moving. Addlestone’s housing is largely owner-occupied, with Row Town recording one of the highest rates in Runnymede and New Haw making up the southern part of the town, so many owners are adding rooms to houses they plan to stay in. A mid-sized rear room often fits the gardens of semis and terraces well. Our conservatory design page describes how we tailor each one to the property.
Styles we build
- Lean-to conservatories: a simple slope against the house, good for bungalows and narrow gardens.
- Victorian conservatories: bay-fronted with an ornate ridge, suiting period terraces.
- Edwardian conservatories: rectangular and roomy, easy to furnish.
- Regency, Elizabethan and gable-ended designs, each giving more height.
- L-shaped, T-shaped and P-shaped layouts for bigger homes and corner plots.
Small conservatories make cosy reading rooms; large ones can be family dining areas or playrooms. Before suggesting a shape, we look at which way the garden faces, where the kitchen and living room doors sit, and how much lawn you want to keep. A south-facing room needs a roof that controls heat, while a north-facing one benefits from as much glass as possible. We also check drains, manholes and nearby trees, which can affect where the base can go.
Which roof?
Choose a solid roof for year-round comfort and a ceiling that feels like the rest of the house, or a glass roof for maximum light. Polycarbonate roofs are lighter and lower cost but noisier and less insulating. If your existing room is too hot in summer or too cold in winter, a replacement roof is often the best fix.
Orangeries and porches
Orangeries use more brickwork and a central lantern for a substantial feel. A front porch keeps wet coats out of the hallway; one under 3 square metres, below 3 metres high and at least 2 metres from a highway boundary usually needs no planning permission.
Planning rules in Addlestone
Under permitted development rights, which apply to houses rather than flats or maisonettes, a rear conservatory can usually extend 3 metres on attached homes and 4 metres on detached homes, with a maximum height of 4 metres. Eaves within 2 metres of a boundary must not exceed 3 metres, and no more than half the land around the original house may be covered. Side conservatories are limited to a single storey, 4 metres high and half the original house’s width. Larger rear extensions of 6 or 8 metres need prior approval from the council.
Homes inside a conservation area such as the Wey Navigation face tighter limits: side conservatories need permission and the prior-approval route is unavailable. Check with Runnymede Borough Council, and with West Surrey Council from 1 April 2027. Our conservatory and porch planning guide explains more.
A conservatory is normally exempt from Building Regulations if it is ground level, single storey, under 30 square metres, separated from the house by external-quality walls, doors or windows, and has an independent heating system with separate controls. Safety glass in the walls and roof, and any sockets or lighting you add, must still satisfy the relevant regulations.
Low ground and the base
Parts of Addlestone sit on low ground near the Bourne and Addlestone Moor, so drainage and floor levels deserve attention. Read about our conservatory bases, including damp-proofing and insulated floors, before settling on a final floor height.
Colours and garden doors
Frames come in white, woodgrain or dual colour, so a room can match the house windows or stand out as a feature. French doors or patio doors are the usual way out to the garden, and Smart Visofold or Cortizo aluminium bifolds suit wider openings.
Costs and timescales
See our conservatory cost guide for the main price factors, including size, roof choice, base work and any electrics or heating you want inside. Frames can be ready from 10 days after design sign-off.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a conservatory in Addlestone without planning permission?
Usually, if it is a rear conservatory on a house within permitted development limits: 3 metres deep on an attached home, 4 metres on a detached one and no more than 4 metres high. Leasehold flats and maisonettes fall outside these permitted development rights. If you live in a conservation area or listed building, check with Runnymede Borough Council first.
Is my Addlestone garden suitable for a conservatory near the Bourne?
Most gardens are, but low-lying plots need careful attention to drainage, damp-proofing and floor levels. We assess the ground at the survey and design the base accordingly. If your project needs planning permission and the site is in a flood zone, the council may ask for a flood risk assessment.
What conservatory suits a semi in Row Town?
An Edwardian or lean-to design usually suits a semi-detached house, with a solid or glass roof depending on how you want to use the room. A white or dual-colour frame keeps the look consistent with the house. If the garden is wider, an L-shaped room can link the kitchen and living areas.
Should I choose an orangery or a conservatory?
An orangery has more brickwork and a lantern roof, giving a more solid, extension-like feel and steadier temperatures. A conservatory has more glass and usually costs less. For a larger Addlestone home with a formal garden an orangery can work well, while most semis suit a conservatory. We can sketch both options.
Will I need Building Regulations approval for a conservatory in Addlestone?
Not normally. A conservatory is usually exempt when it is single storey, at ground level, under 30 square metres, separated from the house by external-quality walls, doors or windows, and heated independently with its own controls. If you plan to knock through into the house, Building Regulations approval will be required.
