What you get for a conservatory under £5,000

It’s without doubt that if you’re looking for a cost effective way to increase space in your home then a conservatory is the answer. With this space you can use it for whatever you need and even add plenty of value to the property too.

Conservatories are typically cheaper than your other options, such as a house extension, loft conversion or garage conversion. What’s also brilliant is that if you’re on a budget, you can get a new conservatory installed for under £5,000.

Ok, so you’re probably thinking there’s a catch here or the conservatory will be of poor quality. So let’s have a look at what £5,000 will get you.

Well, if £5,000 is your maximum budget then you don’t need to fear. You’ll be able to employ a builder to erect the dwarf wall and then purchase a low cost conservatory that you’ll install yourself.

Of course, it will be a smaller conservatory as the more floor space, the higher the cost will be. It’ll probably be a lean-to or quite possibly an Edwardian design. Lean-to conservatories can be bought for as little as £3,000.

The depth (from your home to the outer wall) will be around 8 feet, with a width of 12 feet. If it’s smaller than this then of course you’ll expect to pay less.

Don’t forget, that even if you decide to go DIY with a low cost conservatory, you’ll still need a professional to build the base and assemble the dwarf wall. Builders can do this starting from around £1,000. The conservatory will then be delivered to you and shouldn’t take more than a few days to complete.

Investing in a conservatory

When it comes to conservatories, it’s the size of your budget that will decide the type you end up with. If your budget is just £5,000 then there will of course be a limit as to what you can have.

What’s good news though is that you don’t have to spend a substantial amount and just tipping over the £5,000 mark will open up your options. The popular Victorian is available in a range of shapes such as P and T, whilst you’ll also be able to look at aluminium and hardwood frames.

No matter your budget, it’s always best to go to a number of conservatory suppliers and compare quotes to ensure getting the right price. By doing this you can make sure to stretch your budget as far as it’ll take you. Just be sure to choose the right company and don’t sign any contracts on a whim.
