UK cost guide
Conservatory prices depend more on the footprint, frame and roof than on the style name. A tiled roof costs more than polycarbonate or glass but insulates better, and it's often the biggest single upgrade on a quote.
Typical budget
£6,000 to £40,000+
Supply and fit. Check whether the base and foundations are included: they can add £1,000-£3,000.
Typical UK conservatory budgets by project size.
| Budget band | Typical cost | What it usually covers |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | £6,000-£12,000 | a small uPVC lean-to of about 3m x 3m with a polycarbonate or glass roof. |
| Mid-range | £12,000-£20,000 | a medium lean-to, Victorian or Edwardian conservatory with a glass or tiled roof. |
| Premium | £20,000-£40,000+ | a large or P-shaped conservatory, or an aluminium, hardwood or oak frame. |
Supply and fit. Check whether the base and foundations are included: they can add £1,000-£3,000.

Ask each shortlisted company to confirm the same scope and timeline. Avoid comparing quotes where only some include the base and foundations; also avoid skipping the planning permission and building regulations check before you sign and choosing a fully glazed roof for a south-facing room without asking about overheating.
