We offer a great range of conservatories to customers throughout Durham. Some of the most popular conservatories we offer are:
If your conservatory is suffering from damage or an outdated conservatory then you may be leaving yourself susceptible to any unwanted visitors. Older double glazing is noticeably weaker than contemporary glass, and a rotted frame or damaged lock will do little to keep you safe.
If your current extension is struggling to retain heat and seems colder than expected, you may have a problem with the window, door or roof. Even the smallest of gaps can create an unwanted draught, and overtime will cost you money as you are forced to compensate for the lost heat with central heating. We can easily refurbish these products, rendering it water-tight and warm all year round.
Perhaps your current conservatory, which was once the focal point of your home, is now nothing more than a glorified storage room, or perhaps unusable as it’s too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter.
With many Durham homes already having conservatories, homeowners no longer have the same sense of pride in their dated conservatories, or some may become typically unusable. This is why we are introducing our replacement and refurbishment for conservatories in the Durham area.
Some may be typically unusable all year round due to poor climate control, yet there has never been a better time to modernise and replace or upgrade your old conservatory.
Some of the benefits of conservatory refurbishments include:
Many existing conservatories were installed ten or twenty years ago when product specifications were not designed to be energy efficient and climate control was never considered to be important. Most of these structures now look tired, dated and are often shut off from the main home as they are too expensive to heat in the winter and become a sauna in summer.
With a thin polycarbonate roof, they are often a dark place to sit with limited natural light whilst the lack of any heat-retaining glass to the windows and door allows any generated heat to escape through the glass to the outside.
Here at Active Windows, we can design a cost-effective replacement conservatory that will use the existing base and create a thermally efficient extra room that will extend your permanent living space all year round.
Your new conservatory will include thermally efficient UPVC profiles combined with 1.1 U-value solar control double glazing for the windows and doors to help block solar gain in the summer but retain your valuable heat in the winter. The roof will be upgraded to 1.0 U-value self-cleaning Staycool solar control double glazing that not only reflects 78% of direct solar heat but also blocks 90% of damaging UV rays so your furnishings are protected too.
As your replacement conservatory will use the existing base and brickwork there should be no planning permission issues so demolition of the old structure and installation of the new one can be undertaken with minimum delay.

A conservatory is a room or building that has short brick walls and tall glass window panes, this can then either be finished off with a glazed, lantern, plastic or tiles roof. These types of rooms are typically only attached to one side of the property.
Whilst the construction process is very similar for orangeries and conservatories, they are very different in what they can offer you. Whilst they both add extra downstairs space, a conservatory is a much more open space, whereas an orangery is more like an extension. They will typically have a wide-open back, windows to the side but will include more brickwork than a conservatory would. The roof options on orangeries and conservatories remain very similar.
This entirely depends on the size of the conservatory, whilst some will fall under permitted development it is likely you require planning permission. We always advise our customers to check with their local authority before any work is carried out.
Yes! Depending on your current house value and the area you’re in, conservatories can add value to your home. In addition to this, they also provide a practical extra room for you and your family to enjoy.
The cost of a new conservatory will depend on a number of factors such as the size and the type you choose. We have a range of options to choose from, which we can tailor to your needs. If you’re interested in having a conservatory built, then be sure to get in touch with us today.
