DIY Conservatories

Southeast Windows Ltd offers DIY Conservatories that enhance your home with a beautiful and versatile space. Our conservatories base units meet building regulations for the DurabasePlus 100 system while providing exceptional durability and style; whether you want to add a garden room, extend your living space, or create a sunlit retreat, our DIY Conservatories are the perfect solution.

Conservatory Building Regulations Guidelines

A glazed conservatory is typically exempt from building regulations if it meets the following conditions:

• It is constructed at ground level with a floor area not exceeding 30 square meters.
• At least 50% of the new wall and 75% of the roof must be glazed or made from translucent material.
• External walls or windows must separate the conservatory from the house.
• The glazing and any fixed electrical installations must comply with applicable building regulations (more on this later).
• The heating system must be independent of your home, with separate temperature and on/off controls.
• The glazing in the roof, windows, and doors of the original home must not exceed 25% of the floor area of both the original home and the conservatory combined.
• Similarly, the glazing in the conservatory’s windows, doors, and roof must not exceed 25% of the floor area of the conservatory.
• Doors and windows must adhere to current U-Values.
• Glazing in doors and windows must be toughened or laminated safety glass to meet British Standard 6206.

Durabase Steel Base System

Our Durabase steel base system offers a faster, cleaner alternative to traditional methods. It eliminates the need for large footings and reduces waste and mess in on-site garden rooms or conservatories where minimal insulation is needed, and building regulations don’t apply.

For projects that do require building regulations, the DurabasePlus100 system exceeds all minimum requirements and can be approved by an independent building control company.

The Durabase method speeds up the groundwork process, often ready in just one day. Additionally, the modular walls come with bricks pre-installed at the factory, allowing for quick and easy assembly without the need for skilled tradespeople.
