The following 3 examples show you what type of glass conservatory you will get by different price range.
Basic glass conservatory
Do you want to enjoy extra space for a seating area, but don’t want to make the investment cost too high? Then choose a small glass conservatory of 10 m2 with standard double-glazing. You pay an average of £10,000 for this glass conservatory, including all materials, labour costs and VAT.
Average glass conservatory
Most people choose a glass conservatory between 15 m2 to 20 m2 with HR++ glass. You can already enjoy this well-insulated glass conservatory for between £20,000 and £25,000, including all materials, labour costs and VAT. An average-sized conservatory creates a completely new living space in your home; it can easily accommodate a large dining table.
Luxury and large glass conservatory
Do you really want to impress? Then opt for a large conservatory with HR+++ glass. A 30 m2 glass conservatory with HR+++ glass costs on average between £30,000 and £35,000, including all materials, labour costs and VAT. A luxuriously large conservatory with HR+++ glass offers enormous possibilities. For example, choose to install a sofa and dining table so you can dine in your conservatory all year round and enjoy the view outside from your sofa. Or include the conservatory directly in your living room so that your living room becomes 1 or 2 times as big in one fell swoop.
How does the price structure of a glass conservatory look?
Choices that determine the price of a glass conservatory
If you have decided that you want a glass conservatory, the following choices will come your way, all of which will influence the total price of your ideal glass conservatory.
Choice 1: Choose the size of your glass conservatory
The size has the biggest influence on the total price of your glass conservatory. As a starting point, assume around £1,000 per m2 of glass conservatory. From 30 m2 the price increase per m2 flattens out because the fixed costs do not increase much more. Talk to a conservatory specialist with no obligation to determine what size conservatory fits your home and, of course, your wishes. In most cases this consultation is free of charge, ask about this.
Choice 2: Choose your type of glass
The bulk of your conservatory consists of glass, so the choice of type of glass plays a big role in the total price. Nowadays, most conservatories are fitted with double glazing as standard, but there are already much better insulating glass types on the market. Many people therefore choose the glass type: HR++ glass. Below you can see the additional price per type of glass.
| Glass type | More price including VAT, excluding labour costs | U-value* (the lower the better) |
|---|---|---|
| Double glazing | Standard | 2.7 |
| HR | £5 per m2 of glass | 1.7 – 2.0 |
| HR+ | £10 per m2 of glass | 1.3 – 1,6 |
| HR++ | £ 15 per m2 of glass | 1.2 |
| HR++ | £ 55 per m2 of glass | 0.5 – 0.9 |
* The degree of insulation can be read from the U-value of the glass. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation.
Example: A 10m2 glass conservatory has an average of 20m2 of glass and costs £10,000. If you want HR++ glass (most commonly chosen), that brings the total price to an average of £10,300.
Choice 3: Choose the material
Although your conservatory is mostly made of glass, the choice of frame material also affects the price of your glass conservatory. Below, you will find the different prices and the advantages and disadvantages of the materials.
| Material | Average price, including materials, labour and VAT | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glass plastic conservatory of 12.5 m2 | £12,500 | Low maintenance, good insulation value, any colour available , inexpensive | Expensive |
| Glass wood conservatory of 12.5 m2 | £ 12,500 | Atmospheric, high insulation value, strong material, inexpensive | Requires maintenance |
