Orangeries Scotland

Providing an average cost for an orangery in Scotland is difficult because very few orangeries we help create for homeowners end up being similar. With different sizes, styles, and shapes on offer, not to mention optional extras, no single Homeshield orangery is ever truly the same, so no single final bill is ever truly the same either.

With that said, you could realistically spend anywhere from £5,000 for a smaller 4m x 4m orangery, up to £60,000+ for a larger, 7m x 7m orangery construction.

How much yours might cost will depend on different factors such as:

• Size 
• Shape 
• Material – uPVC orangery vs aluminium orangery vs timber orangery etc
• How unique the design is 
• Type of roof 
• Level of glazing 
• Heating requirements 
• Ventilation system 
• Insulation 
• etc

In most cases, installing an orangery at your home will not require planning permission because they’re usually treated as permitted development, so your building project can typically start without local authority or council permission. 

However, there are also a few conditions that need to be satisfied in order to avoid planning permission, including the following:

• The property must not have already been extended
• The orangery must not extend over more than 50% of the garden area
• The roof must not reach any higher that the existing property roof (and must not exceed 4 metres, or 3 metres if within 2 metres of a boundary)
• The orangery should not include any elevated platforms

Meeting these requirements will usually mean you can continue with your orangery home improvement project without seeking permission from your local planning authority. However, if ever you’re unsure, our expert installation team are well-versed in the nuances of planning permission when it comes to home improvements, and we will be able to advise further. If you’re really concerned about planning, you can contact your local planning authority directly, too. 

The main benefit of Orangeries Scotland is that they’re incredibly versatile, allowing you to turn it into almost any space you can imagine to suit your needs. In addition to its versatility, you can also expect several other benefits, including:

• Additional space 
• Natural light that’ll transform your living spaces
• The perfect link between your garden and home
• Balanced costs – giving you extra space without the high price tags of extensions
• Added property value (some estimates suggest as much as 15%)
• Fully bespoke – allowing you to create a space that works for you
• Robust and secure build – meaning it’s built to last and with your safety and security in mind

Yes, you can. Homeshield Scotland’s orangeries have often been used as both kitchens and dining areas. Obviously, in the case of using it as a kitchen, you must also install the necessary plumbing and electrical connections for a kitchen as well as make sure the ventilation you install is suitable. This is because, with the addition of a kitchen, you will add a lot of heat and moisture-producing equipment which could lead to damp and condensation issues if left unchecked.
