Building and Construction

Building Your Conservatory Base

We will supply you with a base plan drawing which will provide all the dimensions for you to accurately construct the base for your DIY Conservatory. It is important that the external wall is built exactly to the plan provided to ensure a trouble free installation.

You may want to build the conservatory base yourself or alternatively, consider using a reputable builder to construct the base for you. If you decide to use a builder try to find one that has been recommended by a friend or relative who has experience of their work.

New Service

If you are having difficulty finding a builder to construct a traditional base we can put you in touch with a national network of professional base builders who you can contact direct for an estimate on the cost of construction of your base and who will also provide a cost for optional installation of the conservatory also. Simply let us know and we will provide you with contact details. Please note that your contract for base construction and/or installation is independent and does not form part of your conservatory purchase with us.

Always agree the price at the start and exactly what the price includes. You should ask the builder to assist you with the initial survey as often, any issues that may arise will be discussed at this stage, rather than during construction. Cost guide for a 3m x 3m base will be in the region of £1,600 - £2,000.

Tools/Materials Required

Instabuild steel conservatory base option

As an alternative to traditional base construction you may want to consider a pre-fabricated steel base. These have the advantage of avoiding the disruption and labour involved in building a traditional base, and even allow you to take the conservatory with you when you move!
