But should price be your only concern…?
We recognise that you want the lowest quotes for conservatories in Kent; but have you looked in to which designs will best suit your property? Edwardian or Victorian conservatories are elegantly designed, but could easily overwhelm your property if you have a terraced home with a small garden.
Is your property Grade 2 listed? If it is, then your proposed design will need to tick a few extra boxes. Will your conservatory overwhelm or support the size, style and colour-scheme of your home? Is it a good fit for the local area, or will its appearance – (most especially if it’s a side extension) – stand out for all the wrong reasons?

If you’ve been searching online for the best roofs for Conservatories in Kent, you may already know that there a choice of different glass products out there – some of which are better than others. Polycarbonate used to be the most popular choice, due to its low price – but this doesn’t have the insulating qualities of glass, which means your conservatory will be expensive to heat in winter and too hot to spend time in during the summer months.
Customers who bought polycarbonate roofs for their conservatories are now replacing them with Thermally efficient ones. That’s because this type of glass is filled with gas – more often than not, Argon – which helps to retain heat. This in turn makes their conservatories more energy efficient (thus lowering their utility bills) and improves the EPC (Energy Performance Report) rating of their property – which will make it more attractive to prospective buyers in the future.
The best roofs for conservatories in Kent are, as you can see, not necessarily the cheapest.

Independently of the size of your conservatory, you need to consider where best to site it. In January, a south or west facing conservatory might benefit from a bit of solar gain , but probably not enough to significantly reduce your heating bills.
That’s why, when researching small conservatory ideas for Kent properties, you need to think carefully about the type of roof you buy. Presuming yours is south or west facing, you could experience significant problems with temperature control. For this reason, you need a roof glass capable of reflecting the sun’s heat back in to the atmosphere.
A solution for this would be to purchase argon-filled sealed units, as these would improve insulation. Tinted glass is also recommended, as it can prevent harmful UV rays from infiltrating the conservatory. Your chosen installer will be able to help you choose the most appropriate orientation and recommend a glass roof that best suits your needs.

Now that you’ve decided on where you want the conservatory to go, it’s time to consider designs. Traditional conservatories in Kent are much the same as in any other part of the country – so you won’t be restricted to choosing a particular type of design.
The good news is that most types of conservatory can be adapated to suit the needs of their given home. Victorian conservatories continue to be popular because their design can be altered to suit both modern and period properties; they also contain finials and crestings, which are decorative adornments that help to add character to the finished design.
So, looking for traditional conservatories in Kent hopefully just became that little bit easier for you. You will inevitably have lots of other questions relating to, for example, the best orientation for your conservatory and what type of glass to use to optimise heat retention and reflect harmful UV rays.
The installer you choose will be able to help you find a fit that suits both your budget and design requirements.

The term 'best' is relative in a case like this. Your ideal conservatory may be out of your price range or not suitable for the type of property that you own. Lean To Conservatories are a good choice for smaller and/or single storey dwellings – and some of the more traditional designs (like Victorian or Edwardian) may better suit period or more modern properties.
You need to start with basic questions, such as 'What am I going to use this space for?' and 'What sort of design would best blend in with the design of my property?' More complex queries – relating to the positioning of the site and selecting the right type of glass – are probably best saved for when you start speaking to your installer.
It's easier than ever before to get planning permission. But you do need to be aware of any building regulations that could scupper your plans. For example, your conservatory cannot occupy more than 50% of the land around your property (either as it was originally built or its design as of July 1948). Your installer will be able to guide you further.
If you are a competent builder, then you could save up to 70% off the cost of your conservatory. Suppliers normally often a guarantee and you'll experience minimal disruption during the work – as there will be no contractors on site working. You will need to ensure compliance with building regulations.
