How to build your DIY conservatory

Over the next few weeks we will be uploading extracts from our installation guides to help you plan the installation of a DIY conservatory - and to try and show that it isn't as hard as it looks!

Today a few words in preparation:

Note ... Always read the COMPLETE instructions fully before you start constructing, as knowledge of the latter stages of the build should explain the instructions at the start. These blog posts are not intended to replace complete instructions, just act as a guide. Contact us now on 0800 161 3034 if you need more information

- All instructions are viewed from OUTSIDE and are taken from LEFT to Right.
- Please use a QUALITY low modulus silicon sealant. Use sparingly in all applications and areas as instructed
- Remove any render, pebbledash or aesthetic coatings etc. The panels and roof must be fitted to sound clean walls.
- All panels are externally glazed and MUST be fitted with the beads to the outside. The French Doors are outward opening,
with the master door on the left.
- When fitting the frames please ensure that you fit with the drainage slots to the BOTTOM.
- When fitting any panel or component, please use a long spirit level to ensure that it is PLUMB and LEVEL.
- Using 3 clamps per panel, tightly CLAMP all components in place until they are permanently fixed.
- Code 4 lead (inserted to a minimum of 25mm into the parent wall) should be used to seal the conservatory.
