Conservatories in Oldham
Find a Conservatory Style That Suits Your Oldham Home
From traditional Victorian designs to cleaner contemporary layouts, your conservatory can be shaped around both your property and the look you want to achieve.
St Helens Windows designs and installs made-to-measure conservatories throughout Oldham and Greater Manchester, with a wide choice of shapes, glazing, frame finishes and roof options available.
Choosing the Character
Traditional or Contemporary Conservatory?
The right conservatory does not have to follow one particular look. Some homeowners prefer decorative shapes and traditional roof lines, while others want something simpler and more understated.
Traditional Character
Victorian, Edwardian and Gable designs can give a conservatory a more established architectural appearance with distinctive roof shapes and proportions.
Clean & Contemporary
Simpler layouts such as a Lean-To or modern Garden Room can create a more restrained appearance with straightforward lines and generous areas of glazing.
Something Larger
P-shaped and T-shaped conservatories can be considered where there is enough room for a larger footprint or a layout with more than one distinct area.
Compare the Shapes

Each layout creates a different footprint and external appearance. Comparing several styles can help narrow down what could work with the available space around your home.
Victorian
Recognisable by its faceted frontage and traditional roof form, the Victorian remains one of the most distinctive conservatory designs.
Edwardian
A more regular square or rectangular footprint provides straightforward internal proportions and a balanced external appearance.
Gable
The upright front elevation and high roof line give a Gable conservatory a strong sense of height and a distinctive glazed frontage.
Lean-To
A simple sloping roof keeps the design uncomplicated and can suit projects where a lower or less elaborate roof profile is preferred.
P-Shaped
Combining two forms within one footprint can provide additional space and help create separate areas within a larger conservatory.
T-Shaped
A projecting central section creates a more substantial layout and a strong visual feature where the available space allows for it.

Making the Choice
Three Things to Consider Before Choosing a Conservatory Style
Appearance matters, but the best starting point is understanding what the property and available space will comfortably accommodate.
1
The Available Footprint
Consider how far the conservatory could project and how much width is available without compromising the rest of the outside space.
2
The Roof Line
Different shapes create different roof heights and profiles, so the relationship between the conservatory and the existing house is important.
3
Windows & Doors
Glazing and door positions influence both the appearance of the conservatory and the way you move between the house, new room and garden.
Changing the Character
How the Roof Shapes the Look of Your Conservatory
The roof is a major part of the overall design. A highly glazed roof creates a very different appearance from a solid system, while existing conservatories may also be suitable for a replacement roof project.
Traditional Glazed Appearance
Glass roofing keeps the roof visually open and works naturally with conservatory designs where glazing is a dominant feature.
A More Solid Roof Line
Solid systems create a different architectural character and can be considered where a less extensively glazed roof is preferred.
Updating an Existing Roof
For an existing conservatory, a replacement roof may be an option depending on the current structure and the proposed new specification.
What About Planning Permission?
Many conservatories can fall within permitted development rights in England, but this depends on the size, position, height, property and any previous extensions or local restrictions.
If you are unsure what applies to your proposed project, check the position before work begins.
