What moves the price
- Design complexity — a bespoke shape or ornate detailing takes the orangery builder longer to design and build than a standard plan.
- Size of the orangery — a larger orangery needs more brickwork, a bigger lantern roof and deeper groundworks.
- Condition of the site — sloping ground, drains or an old patio have to be dealt with before the base goes in.
- Materials chosen — hardwood frames, brick piers and better glazing cost more than standard uPVC and glass.
- Accessibility for construction — with no side access, bricks and glazing have to be carried in by hand, which adds labour.

How to pay less
- Decorating and flooring the finished orangery yourself, rather than including them in the build, can lower the builder's price.
- Choosing a standard orangery design over a fully custom one can keep the design and build costs lower.
- Standard glazing sizes and a uPVC frame usually cost less than made-to-measure units and hardwood for an orangery.
- A smaller orangery footprint means less brickwork, base and glazing, which brings the build cost down noticeably.
- Converting an existing conservatory into an orangery can reuse its base where it is sound, costing less than building new.
Before you book

- Any existing plans or ideas you have for the orangery design.
- Your budget and the timeline you have in mind for the orangery, so the builder can plan around them.
- Details about any specific features or materials you wish to include.
