Local to Newport, Gwent
Site visits are available across Newport, Gwent (NP10, NP18, NP19, NP20, NP44). Neighbouring towns we cover include Cwmbran (5 miles), Pontypool (8 miles), Chepstow (14 miles), Ebbw Vale (16 miles).
Just over the Mid Glamorgan border, Risca is about 5 miles away. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
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 Newport, Gwent 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).

Common questions in Newport, Gwent
Will my neighbours in Newport, Gwent be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newport, Gwent, 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 long does an orangery extension take to build in Newport, Gwent?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
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.
