UPVC Conservatories - FAQ
Find answers to common questions about UPVC conservatories, including planning permission requirements, painting options, and their life expectancy.
Do I need planning permission for a UPVC conservatory?
You don’t typically need planning permission for a UPVC conservatory if it qualifies as a “permitted development”.
This means it must meet specific limits, such as being under 6 metres for an attached house or 8 metres for a detached house. It also mustn’t exceed the highest part of the roof or, for single-storey extensions, be taller than 4 metres.
If your plans don’t meet the criteria, you’ll need to apply for planning permission. At Clearview, we manage the entire planning process for you, ensuring a stress-free experience.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
The key difference between a conservatory and an orangery lies in their structure. Conservatories feature more glass, often including a glazed roof covering, creating a bright, open feel.
Orangeries, on the other hand, emphasise brickwork with solid pillars, fewer glass panels, and a more insulated, permanent design. However, modern designs often blur these distinctions, blending features of both to create hybrid extensions.
If you’re unsure which style suits your home, consider the atmosphere you want to achieve—light and airy with a conservatory or cosy and solid with an orangery.
Can you paint a UPVC conservatory?
Unlike wooden conservatories, which require regular repainting to maintain their appearance, UPVC conservatories don’t need painting at all.
UPVC is designed to retain its colour and finish for years, withstanding weathering without fading or peeling. Most homeowners find that a simple clean is enough to keep it looking like new.
It’s one of the many reasons UPVC remains a popular, hassle-free option for home extensions. For information on our low maintenance UPVC finishes, get in touch.
What is the life expectancy of a UPVC conservatory?
You’ll be pleased to know that a well-built conservatory completed by a reputable installer should be around for decades.
UPVC is very durable, weather resistant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent long-term investment. With proper care, a UPVC conservatory can last 20-30 years or much longer. We offer a lengthy 20 year guarantee that backs this up.
UPVC’s weather resistance helps it withstand harsh conditions, while its durability ensures it won’t warp, rot, or fade over time. Keep up with occasional cleaning and inspections and you’ll be able to enjoy your UPVC conservatory for a lifetime.

Predominantly glazed and often featuring a dwarf wall, iconic conservatory styles such as the Victorian, Edwardian, Lean-to and Gable variations continue to enjoy their status as timeless favourites. However, vast improvements in the materials and components used in their construction have given these modern classics substance as well as style.
Lending themselves to a whole host of property types, classic UPVC conservatories offer the owner a private retreat away from the chores that wait in other rooms.
Stunning yet sympathetic to the existing property...
An internal lighting pelmet transforms a Classic into a Contemporary Conservatory and offers what many feel is a cosier environment, especially in the evenings. Mounted spotlights make a Contemporary Conservatory the perfect room to relax and watch the sun rise, and set. Externally, a cornice can also be introduced to add to the elegance.
The modern feel of Contemporary Conservatories can be heightened by coloured frames. Likewise French Doors are a common element of a Contemporary Conservatory and this style of door can be used both internally, to adjoin the conservatory with another room, and externally to connect the indoors with the outdoors.
Turn your vision into a reality with a Bespoke UPVC Conservatory design...
Bespoke UPVC Conservatories take their inspiration from each and every one of the more classic styles yet refuse to be categorised as one or the other. They are quite literally unique and are ideal for people who have a very clear idea about what their dream home looks like. Needless to say, Bespoke UPVC Conservatories can be designed to subtly complement your property or stand out in aweinspiring fashion.
Despite their sometimes large-scale size and complex configuration Bespoke UPVC Conservatories remain predominantly glazed. They can be designed around a multitude of obstacles and often look all the more impressive and unique for it. Add to this the array of colours, glass options and accessories to choose from and, of course, the internal décor and furnishings, and you’ll achieve something that is unquestionably one of a kind.

UPVC offers low maintenance, long lasting and is very affordable...
Classic UPVC can be whatever colour you want it to be: a specially developed paint application process can be employed to match even the most unique colours. In the standard colour range, however, are timeless classics such as White, Whitegrain, Cream and Chartwell Green. Emerging favourites include Black, Grey and Irish Oak.
A new roof needs to be the crowning glory of any conservatory...
For a transparent perspective of the clouds above your head whilst inside a conservatory a glass roof is the best solution. Not only will it provide a clear view but it also has the capacity to minimise the sound of any rain or hail that hits it so that enjoyment inside is guaranteed at all times.
In addition to its comprehensive list of benefits, it also offers superb solar control, can be tinted in various ways and there’s always the option to specify self-cleaning glass should the extension being positioned in a spot where cleaning the roof could be complex. When observing the structure externally you will immediately note just how well it works in unison with the glazed windows and doors.
A tiled roof conservatory is something that no other roof can match...
There’s no denying that a tiled roof will obscure overhead light and views to some extent compared to a polycarbonate roof, but in terms of aesthetics both externally and internally it is in a league of its own.
Any loss of natural light is compensated for by an increase in privacy and because roof windows and integrated spotlights are included in the design there’s no chance of the conservatory ever getting too dark. To ensure the extension seamlessly complements a property, select a suitable set of roofing tiles and don’t forget that a solid roof can be utilise in both a new-build and existing conservatory.

Our range of window and door handles are manufactured to the highest quality standards, to ensure years of performance whilst always looking as good as the day they were installed.
We’ll help you choose the right colour and style of window and door handles to finish off your new UPVC conservatory perfectly.
