Absolutely—it’s one of our specialisms. We regularly work in conservation areas throughout West Sussex, including within the South Downs National Park. Our Design Consultants understand local planning requirements intimately and work closely with conservation officers to ensure compliance while achieving your vision.
Recent conservation area projects include installations in Chichester city center, Arundel, Midhurst, Petworth, and coastal conservation zones like Bosham. We prepare detailed heritage statements and design extensions that enhance rather than compromise local character. For guidance on listed buildings and heritage properties, we have extensive experience with Listed Building Consent applications.
Absolutely. Many London boroughs have Article 4 directions that remove permitted development rights, requiring full planning applications for extensions. Our team is highly experienced in navigating London’s complex planning environment and securing approvals across all boroughs.
We understand borough-specific policies, conservation area requirements, and the limited access challenges common in London properties. Recent London projects include installations in Richmond, Kingston, Wandsworth, Bromley, Croydon, and multiple other boroughs—both within and outside Article 4 zones.
Yes—planning requirements vary by local authority, not by county. Each council has different policies, processing times, and local plan requirements. However, we handle all planning submissions regardless of location as part of our comprehensive service.
Our knowledge spans local authorities across West Sussex (Chichester, Horsham, Worthing, Adur, Arun), Surrey (Guildford, Waverley, Mole Valley), Hampshire, Kent, and all our service counties. We tailor applications to each authority’s specific requirements and have established relationships with planning departments across the region.
Our structural warranty is up to 10 years, with exact terms varying by product and installation partner serving your area. Your Design Consultant will confirm the specific coverage that applies to your project and provide it in writing before you order.
All projects include insurance-backed guarantees for your protection. Terms are consistent within each product category—there’s no postcode lottery on quality or protection. Whether you’re in Chichester or Canterbury, Winchester or Windsor, you receive the same Room Outside standard of excellence.
Yes—coastal installations are our specialty with 50+ years South Coast experience. Coastal properties require specific engineering for wind exposure, salt air corrosion, and marine environment conditions.
We use marine-grade aluminium frames, enhanced structural calculations for wind loads, specialized sealing systems, and protective coatings. Our coastal portfolio includes exposed locations from Selsey to Eastbourne, Bournemouth to Hastings—all with outstanding long-term performance. Our professional maintenance services are particularly important for coastal properties.
Coastal premium: Marine-grade specifications may add 8-12% to standard pricing, but this investment is essential for longevity in coastal environments.
Yes, complete county coverage. For regional services (conservatories, refurbishments, maintenance, and modular extensions), we work throughout Kent and Essex—from Canterbury to Maidstone, Chelmsford to Colchester, and all coastal towns.
For national services (orangeries, frameless glass extensions, oak buildings, and annexes), we work anywhere in Kent, Essex, or across the entire UK. Design Consultants travel throughout both counties for site visits and consultations.
National Coverage (anywhere in UK): Bespoke orangeries, frameless glass extensions, oak buildings, and annexes/garden rooms. Our design team works nationwide with trusted installation partners where needed—maintaining our quality standards everywhere.
Regional Coverage (South & South-East only): Complete service including conservatories, refurbishments, New Generation Glass upgrades, Groom Outside maintenance services, and modular extensions. Available across West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, Essex, Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Berkshire, and Greater London.
Getting started is simple. Call us or complete our online enquiry form, and one of our Design Consultants will arrange a convenient time to visit your home. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your ideas, assess the property, advise on planning considerations, and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
Consultations are completely free across all our service areas—from West Sussex to Greater London and everywhere in between. If you’re outside our regional footprint but interested in a nationwide product such as a bespoke orangery or oak building, we’ll arrange a virtual or in-person consultation to suit your location.
Modern glass extensions require minimal maintenance thanks to New Generation Glass technology and high-quality materials. Regular cleaning with a mild glass cleaner and occasional checks of seals and mechanisms are typically all that’s needed. Our glass extensions are designed for durability and require far less maintenance than traditional conservatories, saving you time and money in the long run.
