Covering Brecon
We cover Brecon and the postcode districts LD3. Nearby, we also take on projects in Llandrindod Wells (21 miles), Newtown (39 miles), Welshpool (49 miles).
Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
Is an orangery extension right for your house?
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Those who want daylight without overheating
Do I need planning permission in Brecon?
In Wales a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the normal single-storey limits (up to 4 m at the rear). Welsh building regulations also limit glazing and heat loss, so glass-heavy designs need calculations.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about an orangery extension in Brecon
Do you cover all of Brecon?
Yes. We cover Brecon and the surrounding parts of Powys. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Brecon?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Brecon?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a solid roof perimeter with a central lantern and more solid wall, so it is warmer and more like a room. A conservatory is mostly glass. Building regulations treat a heated orangery joined to the house as an extension.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
