Across BS22, BS23, BS24, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Burnham-on-Sea (7 miles), Clevedon (8 miles), Nailsea (11 miles), Portishead (13 miles).
In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.

Who an orangery extension suits
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Those who want daylight without overheating
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
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 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.
The planning position for a specific Weston-super-Mare address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
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
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Orangery extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Weston-super-Mare?
Yes. We cover Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding parts of Somerset. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Weston-super-Mare?
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.
Will my neighbours in Weston-super-Mare be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
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.
