There is a renowned national shortfall in housing, particularly in the level of affordable homes available to rent or buy. Social rent is genuinely more affordable for those on a lower income, but the rapid fall in houses being built or acquired for social rent has meant the total number of extra homes categorised as "affordable" has been on a downward trend. It is interesting that councils will be encouraged to engage in providing certainty over future rent levels and thus, hopefully play a larger.

Over several decades, the conservatory has been a welcome addition to many homes across the UK by adding value, extra space, often without planning constraint hassles. While traditional conservatory design ticks the box when it comes to creating extra space, they are often too hot, too cold or too noisy. By upgrading the standard glass or polycarbonate roof with a solid roof, your conservatory instantly transforms from a part time sun-room into the desirable, soundproof extra ground floor living space that you can use all year round.

The Benefits

A solid roof means the extra space can be integrated into the home and utilised every day regardless of temperature or weather. No longer seen as a compromise,.
