A T-shape has a wide lean-to or Edwardian section along the house with a projection sticking out from the middle, often with its own Victorian or gable front. These are usually the largest conservatories and the most complex roofs.

Orangery conversions on a T-shape conservatory

T-shape orangery conversions are effectively a new extension and priced like one.

  • Two valleys, several hips and long gutter runs make labour the biggest part of the price.
  • Large glazed floor areas get very hot under polycarbonate or glass, so these rooms benefit most from a solid roof.
  • Bigger roofs are more likely to need structural calculations and extra posts.
