How Would You Go About Building A Dwarf Wall Conservatory On A Raised Patio?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Under the slabs we have a layer of sand on top of hard core, i guess its about two – three feet down to solid ground, would it be best to dig it out and make a concrete plinth to build on to, or is there another way of doing it, i know we could dig down and build the wall up from below the patio but what about the conservatory floor itself that why we are thinking of a concrete base

Building A Used Conservatory?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I have found a used Conservatory on ebay that I am interested in. It is in good condition and has the roof frame but no roof panels. Can you just use corrugated plastic for the roof? Also how do I go about building a base for it? My garden is on a slope and there are about three steps up to the door that I would like the Conservatory to come from. Obviously I would like it built up to the same level as the door.
I do not know much about diy personally and a close friend who is quite good at most diy projects said they would have a go at putting it up for me.
Will this be too much for the average diyer especially as it will have to be raised quite a bit? Also would it cost a huge sum just to build the base? It is a full height Conservatory. I am assuming these are easier to build?
Anyone with any know how. I would very much appreciate your advise.

Does Building A Conservatory Add Value To Properties, Or Make Them Easier To Sell?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I live in a fairly small 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We could really do with more space, and we intend to try and buy a larger property in the nest 12 months. So i am wondering whether or not building a conservatory, while it would be fab for us to have some more living space now, would be a good or bad investment in a property we will be selling.
Any ideas from anyone who has had a conservatory built and then sold their home??
