Conservatories and Extensions in Sherborne
Sherborne is about sixteen miles from Shaftesbury along the A30. From the Ham stone houses near the abbey to the newer homes around Castleton and the edges of town, a conservatory or garden room is a lovely way to bring more light and space into the house.
We build traditional glazed conservatories and timber-framed Warmer Roof modular extensions with a solid, insulated roof. Kenny designs every project with you, and our own team builds it, from laying the base to the final finishing.
Garden Rooms for Sherborne’s Stone Houses
Much of Sherborne is a conservation area and many buildings are listed, so the design of an extension needs care. Kenny will check whether you need planning permission or listed building consent from Dorset Council before anything is ordered.
Against Ham stone, darker frames and a solid roof tend to look more in keeping than an all-glass conservatory, and they make the room far more comfortable.
Our Range
Conservatories and Extensions
We build glazed conservatories and timber-framed Warmer Roof modular extensions for Sherborne houses, from Ham stone to modern brick. With a solid, insulated roof, the extension stays useful in every month of the year.
Conservatories and Extensions Fitted Properly in Sherborne
Sherborne’s buildings have been looked after for centuries, and an extension added today should be done with equal care. Here is our approach.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Your extension is built by our own team from start to finish. They work cleanly, look after your house and garden, and leave it all as neat as it was on day one.
Planning and Building Regulations
Because so much of Sherborne is protected, Kenny checks planning, listed building consent and Building Regulations during the survey.
FENSA Registered
We are FENSA registered, which lets us certify the windows and doors we install against Building Regulations. You are given the certificate for your records.
Conservatories and Extensions in Sherborne: Your Questions Answered
Which areas around Sherborne do you cover?
We cover Sherborne, Castleton, Milborne Port, Bradford Abbas, Yetminster, Longburton, Thornford and Oborne, along with Shaftesbury and the surrounding area.
Do I need planning permission for a conservatory or extension in Sherborne?
Outside the protected parts of town, a single-storey rear extension or conservatory is often permitted development if it stays within certain limits on size and height. In Sherborne a lot of homes are listed or sit in the conservation area, and those, like any larger extension or one near a boundary, may need permission from Dorset Council. Kenny establishes this first, and only then is anything ordered.
What is the difference between a conservatory and a modular extension?
A conservatory is mostly glass, including the roof. A Warmer Roof modular extension, by contrast, has a timber frame, insulated walls and a solid, insulated roof. It keeps a steady temperature through the year and sits with the house rather than against it, which matters next to stone. Kenny will compare the two with you on site.
What guarantee do you give?
Frames and sealed glass units are guaranteed for 10 years, hardware for 2 years and our workmanship for 10 years, all backed by an insurance-backed guarantee through HomePro.
How much does a conservatory or extension cost?
Cost depends on the footprint, the style, the roof and base, and the doors and windows you select. No two Sherborne houses are the same, so Kenny surveys before quoting. There is no charge for either.
