The Elegance of an Extension, the Light of a Conservatory
Bespoke orangeries with brick piers, a plastered perimeter ceiling and a light-flooded Ultraframe glazed roof, designed and built by our Martlesham team. Glass or polycarbonate roofs, Profile 22 frames with A-rated glazing as standard, and our 10-year guarantee.
A Room That Feels Like It Was Always There
An orangery is what you build when you want more than a conservatory but less upheaval than a full extension. Brick piers and a solid, plastered perimeter ceiling give it the permanence and cosiness of a real room — spotlights in the ceiling, warmth in mid-winter, furniture against proper walls — while the great glazed roof at its centre pours daylight into the middle of the space in a way no ordinary extension can. It's the design our customers most often choose for kitchen-diners and everyday living rooms, from Georgian townhouses in Woodbridge to modern homes in Kesgrave.
Every orangery we build uses the Ultraframe roof system — the UK's market leader, individually engineered to your postcode's wind and snow loads and supplied through Emplas — with its insulated internal pelmet creating that signature plastered ceiling, an optional external cornice concealing the guttering for clean, classical lines, and energy-efficient Profile 22 uPVC frames fitted with A-rated glazed units as standard. You choose a performance glass or polycarbonate roof (compared below), your brickwork to match the house, frame colours, and doors — French, sliding or bifold. If a fully glazed design appeals more, see our Victorian, Gable and Lean-To conservatories, or crown a flat-roof extension with our range of roof lanterns. It's all designed and built by our own team from our Martlesham base, in gardens across Kesgrave, Ipswich, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and throughout Suffolk and Essex.
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation design visit and quotation, and is protected by our 10-year guarantee.
Choose Your Roof
The glazed heart of your orangery can be dressed in performance glass or polycarbonate. Both sit on the same Ultraframe structure with the insulated pelmet — the difference is comfort, quietness and budget. Our consultants will price both for you so you can compare properly.
Ultraframe Performance Glass Roof
Self-cleaning Conservaglass units that work all year round: solar-control coatings bounce summer heat away while low-E layers hold your warmth in winter. Paired with the insulated pelmet's plastered ceiling, it makes the orangery genuinely indistinguishable from a 'proper' room — just far brighter.
| Glazing | Self-cleaning Conservaglass, 24–35mm units |
|---|---|
| Solar control | Up to 81% solar heat rejection |
| UV protection | Up to 94% (protects furnishings) |
| Structure | Ultraframe Classic, engineered to your postcode |
| Interior | Insulated pelmet with plastered ceiling & spotlights |
| Tints | Blue, neutral, aqua, bronze & clear options |
Ultraframe Polycarbonate Roof
Modern multiwall polycarbonate is a world away from the thin, noisy sheets of the 1990s — its layered air chambers insulate surprisingly well, it's lightweight, tough, and it trims a meaningful amount off the project cost while keeping the same Ultraframe structure and insulated pelmet interior.
| Glazing | Multiwall polycarbonate, 25–35mm |
|---|---|
| Finish options | Clear, opal & heat-reflecting tints |
| Weight | Lightweight — gentle on the structure |
| Structure | Ultraframe Classic, engineered to your postcode |
| Interior | Insulated pelmet with plastered ceiling & spotlights |
| Budget | The most cost-effective roof option |

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Orangery Customers Say
Reviews related to our orangeries
Our orangery has become the heart of the house — we cook, eat and live in it. The plastered ceiling with spotlights makes it feel like it was always part of the home.
The brickwork match is so good you genuinely can't tell it's an addition. Superb project management from base to final plaster, and it finished on the week they promised.
Honest advice throughout — they talked us through glass versus polycarbonate with no pressure and even suggested where we could save. The finished room is stunning.
Cannot recommend Homestyle enough. Warm on Christmas morning, cool in the July heatwave, and not a single leak through two coastal winters.
