Recommendation for new kitchen and conservatory / orangery extension in Surrey

7 replies

Zoo33 · 09/12/2017 21:58

We're buying a new house and it needs a tonne of work, including a new kitchen and work to the existing conservatory which is ancient. We're thinking instead of building a kitchen conservatory / orangery (?) to make an open plan kitchen dining area. Does anyone have any recommendations for designers and/or builders who could do this work? We're SW London / Surrey area.

My kitchen is in a Prime Oak orangery. This may not suit your house but other decent orangery designers/manufacturers could be approached. Look at magazines for ideas or online. There are loads of them.

Thanks @BubblesBuddy. Prime Oak is stunning! I think I was hoping to find out if the same company could build an orangery and do the kitchen at the same time, but maybe that's not realistic as they're pretty different specialisms.

Personally I think they are different. You can put any kitchen you want in the building. Normally when you extend, a separate company does the kitchen because that’s what they specialise in!

@BubblesBuddy I figured as much! Thanks. Now to do more research...

I'd say you'll need 2 different companies. That's what we found when we were trying yo to the same. In the end, we went with a builder who rebuilt a bit of the building including the garden room (lots of glazing in walls and roof). However, the actual glazing bits have been done by a window company. If you're looking for a traditional orangery, you might need to get a specialist company to do that bit. You could try Malbrook or Vale Garden.
