Working in Wrexham
Across LL11, LL12, LL13, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Rhosllannerchrugog (4 miles), Buckley (9 miles), Hawarden (10 miles), Deeside (11 miles).
In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Planning rules that apply in Wrexham
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.
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.
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).
What is included
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Opening into the main house
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
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.

Common questions in Wrexham
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wrexham, 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 Wrexham?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Wrexham 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.
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.
