In the current economic climate we are all looking for ways to save money and one way you may consider is by adding a DIY conservatory to your home. However if you are thinking of doing this you need to consider it carefully as often DIY conservatories can be false economy. Professional conservatory fitters will have trained for many years and are skilled in the construction of conservatories. Although the professionals may make it look easy often it is not and there can be many complications when constructing a uPVC conservatory.

Firstly there is the construction of the base it is vital that the base is built accurately in order for the conservatory frame to fit. It is also important that the footings are built to the right dimensions to comply with building regulations. Often there are also drains where the conservatory is going and these will need to be re-routed. You also need to consider if you require heating and electrics in your conservatory if so these will also needed to be installed.

The next part of the process is the installation of the frame. Often many of the pieces of the frame will be very heavy and a professional will have specialist lifting equipment to allow them to lift the frame with ease and ensure it does not get damaged. The conservatory also needs to be attached to the base and house securely to ensure it is safe in high winds. You will need to fit lead flashings to make sure that the conservatory is water tight.

You will then need to install the roof panels this will mean working at the top of ladder or scaffolding which can be dangerous and again the roof panels can be very heavy and specialist lifting equipment may be required.

A conservatory is an addition to your home and if constructed well can add a considerable amount of value to your property however if not constructed well it can actually detract from the value of your property and put potential buyers off. Professional conservatory fitters have experience in fitting conservatories and are more likely to give your new conservatory a better finish.
