Planet South Lakes only installs a complete conservatory so the roof matches perfectly with the windows
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>Planet Conservatories – Roof options
The roof is an integral part of the conservatory – not a separate component. That’s why Planet South Lakes offer the Complete Conservatory. It’s not a roof system screwed to someone else’s window system, but the two halves are designed to work in harmony. In fact, it’s the only complete conservatory system on the market where the roof matches perfectly with the windows.
One vision
Planet South Lakes doesn’t compromise. Unlike conservatories made in two halves, where the roof comes from a different source to the windows, every part of a Planet South Lakes Complete Conservatory has been designed as a complete room. For example the edge design of all windows, doors, and roofing bars is the same. Conservatories made in two halves don’t have matching edge designs, but with a Planet Complete Conservatory every window,

New planning rules for conservatories and extensions take effect
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>New permitted development rules introduced by the Government on October 1 mean many homeowners will no longer need to apply for planning permission to extend their homes.

Housing minister Caroline Flint said she was axing red tape to help families who cannot afford a bigger house or get a mortgage for one.
The changes will increase the maximum size for building projects that do not require planning permission, which can cost up to £1,000 to acquire. Miss Flint predicted the overhaul will remove around…
