What moves the price
- Style and size — a small lean-to conservatory costs far less than a P-shape or an orangery with brick piers
- Frame material — uPVC is cheapest, while aluminium and hardwood frames add thousands to the conservatory
- Roof type — a solid tiled roof costs more than polycarbonate or glass but keeps the room usable all year
- Base and dwarf walls — groundwork, foundations and brickwork are a large share of any conservatory installation
- Heating and electrics — radiators, underfloor heating and sockets in the conservatory bring in a plumber and a Part P electrician
- Glass specification — solar-control and self-cleaning conservatory glass costs more but cuts overheating and cleaning
Building and repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical conservatory installer would have cost about £17040 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Pick a simple lean-to or Edwardian shape, as faceted conservatory styles need more frame and glass
- Choose uPVC frames over aluminium or hardwood if budget matters more than slim sightlines
- Get conservatory quotes in autumn or winter, when installers are quieter than in spring
Before you book
- Many conservatories fall under permitted development, but check size and position limits with the council first
- Ask whether the conservatory is exempt from building regulations, which depends on external doors separating it from the house
- Check the glazing installer is FENSA or CERTASS registered so the new windows are certified
- If the conservatory is near a boundary wall or drains, ask about the Party Wall Act and the water company's rules
Conservatory Installer cost: questions people ask
£8,500–£32,000 per project, with about £15,000 typical for a standard uPVC design. A small lean-to is the cheapest; a large P-shape or orangery with a solid roof costs the most.
Three to six weeks for most conservatories, including groundworks, base, frame and roof.
Often not. Many conservatories are permitted development if they stay within size and height limits, are not on the front of the house, and the home is not in a designated area. Check before you order.
Yes. A solid tiled roof costs more than glass or polycarbonate but keeps the room cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and may need building regulations approval.
Flooring, heating, electrics, blinds and furniture are usually extra to the build.
