- Guide price in HanworthFrom £39,000 inc VAT
- PlanningSame limits as single-storey rear; glazing checked for building regs
- Build time10–16 weeks on site

What we take care of
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Opening into the main house
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.
Do I need planning permission in Hanworth?
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Working in Hanworth
Site visits are available across Hanworth (TW2, TW12, TW13, TW14). The same team covers Hampton (2 miles), Feltham (2 miles), Hounslow (3 miles), Isleworth (3 miles), all within easy reach.
West Molesey, in Surrey, is roughly 2 miles from Hanworth and also on our list. In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Hanworth?
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.
Do you cover all of Hanworth?
Yes. We cover Hanworth and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Hanworth, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £3,120 to £5,850 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £58,000 to £73,000 in Hanworth.
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.
