From the Ground Up – #6

New Conservatories, New Systems, New Foundations

This week’s updates take us across Crawley, Burgess Hill and Bicester. Three very different builds, each showing how the right design decisions create warm, usable, future-proof spaces.

Here’s what took shape on site.

• Electrics have now been completed on this beautiful new conservatory in Crawley.
• We visited the customer this week, who told us they were initially worried the structure might overpower the garden – but were thrilled to see how well it sits within the space.
• With a double Edwardian roof and carefully matched brickwork, the conservatory enhances the look of the house while giving the family a bright space to enjoy their garden.
• A full case study will be coming later this month – watch this space.

• A slightly different type of project has been wrapped up in Burgess Hill. Instead of a traditional concrete base, we installed a steel Durabase system. The perfect solution when a manhole or underground services make digging problematic.
• This avoided disturbing the area below, removed the customer’s concerns, and kept the project moving smoothly.
• Finished with a super-insulated tiled roof, this space is now warm, quiet and genuinely usable all year round.

• In Bicester, the old conservatory has been removed and the original base has been broken up to make way for a stronger, better-insulated one.
• A previous manhole meant adjusting the position of the new structure, but the customer kept the same overall size. 
• Matching brickwork is already tying the new walls beautifully into the existing house.
• Great progress on a project that is going to transform the way this home is used.

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.
