In what might have felt like an endless period of wet weather, we can finally bask in some warm temperatures this weekend. Whilst we might not be experiencing the record highs that our neighbours in France in particular are sweltering in, this more pleasant weather is an ideal chance to open up some windows and doors and let in some air – and what better place to do so than in your orangery or garden room.

We’re very proud to have supplied Brent House Carvery, something of a local landmark and a destination for good food, with their new oak orangery.

We have often talked in the past about our expertise in successfully working with Listed Buildings but, after careful review of the sheer number of orangery and conservatory projects we have completed in recent years, we can now proudly add some evidence and provenance to this statement.

There is something incredibly timeless and natural about oak. As the only truly sustainable building material, timber has been used in construction for hundreds of years. But it is the durability and longevity of oak that makes it stand out as an ideal material for manufacturing orangeries or garden rooms.

While most of us were consumed at the end of last week by the latest political bombshell, with Theresa May’s statement that she is stepping down as Prime Minister, here at David Salisbury, another announcement last weekend also caught our attention due to the continuous positive impact on planning for a new orangery and garden room. Above all, if you love your home, the last thing you’ll want to do is move for extra room.
