Quickest way to extend house

We live in a tiny tiny house! And we’re going a bit crazy.

What’s quicker to build - extension or conservatory?

It’ll only be small as we don’t have a large garden Smile

Sell and buy a bigger house. Extending wouldn't make it big

Conservatory. But really it depends on what it is that you wish to use the space for though.

Bear in mind that conservatories tend to be too hot in summer and too cold in winter. I think you also need an external foot between the conservatory and the rest of the house.

It a lot of money so I wouldn’t be looking for ‘quick’ but really think hard how to make your house work or if you can move.

That's only for conservatories with plastic rooves; it doesn't apply to glass rooves.

I know 2 people with fully glass conservatories and both are rubbish for temperatures.

I agree, we hardly ever use the conservatory.
