Local to Llandrindod Wells
Across LD1, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Newtown (18 miles), Brecon (21 miles), Welshpool (28 miles), all within easy reach.
In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
What is included
- Opening into the main house
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Llandrindod Wells address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

Your questions about an orangery extension in Llandrindod Wells
Do I need building regulations approval in Llandrindod Wells?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Llandrindod Wells?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Llandrindod Wells?
Yes. We cover Llandrindod Wells and the surrounding parts of Powys. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
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.
