T-shape conservatory orangery conversion cost
An orangery conversion on a medium T-shape conservatory typically costs £14,000 to £35,000, fitted.
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.

- 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.
