Conservatories in Wigan
Design a Conservatory That Connects Naturally with Your Wigan Home
Create additional space while thinking carefully about how the new room connects with your existing living area, garden and everyday routes through the home.
St Helens Windows designs and installs made-to-measure conservatories throughout Wigan and Greater Manchester, with different layouts, glazing arrangements, frame finishes and roof options available.
Think Beyond the Footprint
How Should Your New Conservatory Connect with the House?
The shape of the room is only part of the design. Where the openings sit, how you enter the conservatory and how it leads towards the garden can make a major difference to how naturally the new space fits into the home.
Connection to the Existing Room
Consider where the conservatory will meet the house and how people will move between the existing living area and the new space.
Access to the Garden
Door positions can be planned around the garden, patio or outside seating area so the route through the conservatory feels practical.
Views & Glazing
The amount and position of glazing can be considered around the outlook from the property and the parts of the garden you want the room to face.
Shape the New Space
Choose a Conservatory Layout Around the Available Space
Different designs create different relationships between the house and garden. The right choice depends on the width available, how far the extension can project and the type of room you want to create.
Simple & Compact Layouts
Lean-To conservatories use a straightforward footprint and can be useful where you want additional space without an overly complicated shape or roof line.
Classic Conservatory Shapes
Edwardian and Victorian designs provide two different traditional approaches, from regular rectangular floor space to a more distinctive faceted frontage.
Larger Combined Layouts
P-shaped and T-shaped designs can be explored where the property has enough room for a larger footprint or more than one usable area.

Plan How the Room Works
Consider Doors, Glazing and Everyday Movement
Small design decisions can have a big effect on how practical the conservatory feels once it becomes part of the house.
Position the Openings
Think about where people naturally enter and leave the room rather than treating doors as an afterthought once the footprint has been decided.
Balance Glass and Frame
The glazing arrangement can be planned to provide the outlook you want while keeping the proportions of the conservatory visually balanced.
Think About Furniture
Knowing roughly where seating, dining furniture or other items may sit can help avoid placing important openings where they become awkward to use.
Complete the Structure
Choose a Roof That Works with the Conservatory Design
The roof should be considered alongside the glazing and overall layout rather than as a separate decision, because it changes both the external appearance and the character of the room.
Glass Roofs
A glazed roof continues the transparent character of the conservatory upwards and allows additional daylight to enter from above.
Solid Roof Options
A solid system creates a more enclosed roof appearance and may suit projects where this works better with the intended design.
Existing Conservatory Roofs
Replacement roof options can also be explored for suitable existing conservatories, depending on the structure and proposed 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.
