Conservatory or Orangeries?
Conservatory or Orangery? Discover the Ideal Extension for Your Home
Expanding your home is about more than just extra space—it’s about creating an environment that enhances your lifestyle, adds value, and complements your property perfectly. Whether you’re considering a light-filled conservatory or a refined orangery, both options offer impressive benefits. The key is choosing what’s right for you.
At The Sure Group, we’ve spent over two decades helping homeowners across Staffordshire and surrounding areas transform their properties with bespoke conservatories and orangeries. Here’s how you can do the same—with expert advice and a free, no-obligation quote.
Why Choose a Conservatory?
A conservatory is the perfect choice if you’re looking to bring the outdoors in. With its predominantly glazed structure, it fills your home with natural light while offering expansive views of your garden.
Key benefits:
- Bright, open atmosphere ideal for relaxing or entertaining
- Versatile use as a sunroom, family room, dining space or home office
- Affordable way to add functional square footage
- Wide range of designs, from Victorian and Edwardian to contemporary styles
With high-performance glazing and modern construction techniques, today’s conservatories are built for year-round comfort.

Why Choose an Orangery?
An orangery offers a more substantial and architecturally integrated extension to your home. Combining solid brickwork with elegant glazing and a central roof lantern, it creates a luxurious, light-filled space that feels like a true room addition.
Key benefits:
- Excellent thermal performance for comfortable all-season use
- Sophisticated style with a timeless, high-end finish
- Ideal for open-plan kitchens, dining areas, or everyday living spaces
- Designed to seamlessly blend with your existing architecture
Orangeries deliver the perfect balance of space, style, and practicality—especially for homeowners who want something more solid than a traditional glass structure.
