ORANGERIES

As an extension to a home there is nothing quite like an orangery. Allowing plenty of light into your home, an orangery provides classic style and imaginative living space .

An orangery will offer more privacy from neighbours than a conservatory. They can also be used as kitchens – unlike conservatories – and will complement traditional house styles. They can also be fitted on north-facing sites, whereas conservatories are rarely viable as north-facing options. Orangery1

There are many reasons for extending your home: creating additional space for a growing family, adding value to your property, creating a home office or studio, or simply adding more space as an alternative to ‘trading up’.

Fully Project-Managed Orangeries

MIH Property Services have many years experience in the construction of orangeries and classic sun rooms. Our approach is to ensure the project runs as smoothly as possible for the client, by offering a complete service, under one roof. This helps us to keep down our costs, and the completion time for conversions, plus – most importantly – the stress and intrusion upon the customer.

Quality Orangeries

Orangery2Our philosophy is to provide the highest possible quality job, not only achieving Building Regulations standards but, where appropriate, exceeding them. For example, we see little point in providing an orangery that meets today’s Building Regulations, but will not meet the increase insulation regulations in several year’s time. Our approach ensures that customers benefit from improved performance, adding value to their homes, and ensuring that their property is easy to sell, should they wish to do so in the future. In short, it is not worth investing in a loft conversion that will need further work completed to achieve the specifications of a HIPs pack.

  For example, we exceed Building Regulations standards in the following areas: 

Orangery3

  • Foundations
  • Insulation (Specification of type of material, and the installation: Roof, as well as ceiling: Floors : Walls)
  • Windows – all A-rated as standard
  • Security – our extensions are “Secured by Design”
  • Finishing
    • ie, we always plaster to a smooth finish, and apply at least an undercoat. Where required, we will also complete the decoration scheme on behalf of the customer.

  There are many benefits to our customers in taking such an approach:

Orangery4

  • Ease of selling property
    • By meeting future Building Regs, as opposed to those of today, our extensions still comply when you come to sell your home, meaning that there is no additional work to be done, nor any decrease in the sale price
    • The specification required for HIPs packs is often higher than industry standards – we ensure that our customer’s property meets these standards
  • Longevity – our extensions are built to last, and guaranteed to do so
  • Meet future needs, as well as immediate needs
  • Reduce actual costs
    • Less ‘finishing’ work required – whether in fitting out the extension, decoration or “snagging”
    • Ongoing costs
      • Repairs costs kept to a minimum
      • Fuel costs – through insulating the property to the highest standard
      • Upgrade and upkeep
  • Sustainability – our approach is based upon energy-efficiency, and long-term viability
  • Quieter rooms – through excellent sound insulation, in both the new rooms and the floor below
