Dating back to the 17th century in Renaissance gardens in Italy, Orangeries were once a symbol of wealth and affluence. As the name suggests, they were used to grow orange and other citrus trees by allowing sunlight to enter through the glass exterior. Today, modern Orangeries are often used to extend the home, much like conservatories but with different structures and variations in architectural features.
Here at Orangeries UK, we design & manufacture bespoke Orangery extensions to fit your specifications. We combine luxurious designs with premium quality materials in order to always deliver the finest, highest quality products.
The demand for bespoke Orangeries in the UK has increased for a variety of reasons. Due to the Covid pandemic, families are enjoying more time at home and want to get the most out of their properties. For example, if you work from home you may want a room in the house where you can enjoy more natural sunlight. An orangery will fill your home with light and enhance your living space – whether it’s a living room orangery, kitchen orangery or dining room orangery – it is sure to add that extra ‘wow’ factor to your home.
Many property owners prefer the premium look and feel of hardwood over conventional UPVC. Thanks to advancements in Wood treatment hardwood orangeries are now more durable than ever, requiring little maintenance and lasting just as long as UPVC.
Orangeries UK can help with all aspects of Orangery design. We’re happy to help you design a completely bespoke Orangery based on your size and style preferences.

Our installation team will help with everything, from an initial ground survey to setting up the foundation, to erecting the Orangery. Installation processes will vary depending on the Orangery and the property and our team will guide you through this process.
Features will depend on the specific configuration of your design. Some of the general features include:

As of 2021, the average price of a supply-only Orangery in the UK now stands at around £19,000 (this average covers uPVC and Wood) although wood is generally more expensive with average prices from £20,000 onwards.
