Making the Most of Dry Spells

This week we’ve made strong progress between rain showers. In Bradley Stoke, a block-and-beam base is installed, in Horsham walls are rising on a new orangery, and in Christchurch a conservatory conversion is underway.

Let’s get into it!

Bradley Stokes, Bristol

Building Performance From the Start

  • Taking advantage of short dry spells, we’ve installed a block-and-beam floor to retain airflow from the house’s existing air vents without compromising finish.
  • Brickwork is now going up, with high-quality solid insulation in the cavity to ensure warmth and long-term efficiency.
  • More updates to follow as this orangery continues to take shape.
Horsham, West Sussex

From Rain Delays to Real Progress

  • After earlier weather disruption, the base is now complete and walls are rising.
  • Classic orangery corner pillars are being formed, tying the new structure into the house and giving it that extension feel.
  • Fitters are on site this weekend with the roof going on – more progress photos coming soon.
Christchurch, Dorset

Old Structure Out, New Space Beginning

  • The old conservatory has been removed and the new base is now being built.
  • Clean red brickwork, chosen by the customer, is already going down.
  • Fitting is expected next week as this upgraded space starts to come together.

That’s a Wrap For This Week

That’s it for this week’s round-up! It’s always exciting to see these spaces take shape. From first foundations to final finishes. Whether you’re mid-project, just getting started, or simply gathering ideas, we hope these updates give you a clear view of what’s possible.
