ABOUT DIY CONSERVATORIES

DIY conservatories can seem like an attractive option for homeowners looking to save money on their conservatory installation. However, there are several potential problems and risks with DIY conservatories that should be considered before investing in such a project.

Lack of expertise

Conservatory installation requires a high level of expertise, including knowledge of building regulations, structural engineering and glazing. Unless you are an experienced builder, it can be difficult to achieve a professional finish on your DIY conservatory.

What Happens Next - Installation

Quality of materials

DIY conservatory kits are often made from lower quality materials than those used by professional installers. This can lead to problems with structural integrity, insulation and weatherproofing, resulting in a conservatory that is uncomfortable or even unsafe to use.

Time and effort

Building a conservatory is a time-consuming and labour-intensive process, requiring a significant investment of time and effort. Unless you are prepared to devote a significant amount of time to the project, it is likely be much more cost-effective to hire a professional.

Risk of damage

DIY conservatories are at greater risk of damage than those installed by professionals, due to the lack of expertise and quality of materials. This can lead to problems such as leaks, drafts and damage to the structure or glazing.

Lack of warranty

Many DIY conservatory kits come with limited or no warranty, leaving homeowners with little protection in the event of problems or defects.

A professional installer will have the expertise, materials and equipment necessary to ensure that your conservatory is safe, comfortable and durable for years to come. And if you choose a Premium Retailer at Conservatory Outlet you will receive up to 20 years guarantee – giving you total peace of mind.
