Kingsholme designs and builds bespoke timber orangeries, conservatories and glazed extensions for homes throughout Buckinghamshire.
Established in 1997 and based in Studham, we are well placed to undertake projects across both north and south Buckinghamshire. Every timber structure is individually designed and manufactured in our own Bedfordshire workshop before being installed by our experienced teams.
We can manage the complete project—from initial design, 3D CAD visualisation and planning through foundations, structural alterations and brickwork to the manufacture, installation and finishing of the completed orangery.
Every orangery is individually designed to complement the
architecture and proportions of your property. Detailed 3D CAD
visualisations help you explore the design before construction begins.
Our timber windows, doors, roof lanterns and architectural details
are manufactured specifically for each project, giving us control
over the materials, proportions and finished quality.
Our experienced team can manage the project from initial design,
planning and Building Regulations through foundations, structural
work, installation and final finishing.
An orangery should look as though it belongs to the house rather than appearing to be a standard extension added afterwards.
We design each project around the proportions, materials and architectural character of the existing property. Window arrangements, masonry, roof form, paint colours and decorative details can all be adjusted to create an appropriate relationship between the new room and the original building.
Our 3D CAD visualisations allow you to see the proposed orangery in context and explore different options before the design is approved for manufacture.
Many homeowners begin their search looking for a conservatory without necessarily knowing which type of glazed extension would work best for their property.
A conservatory generally contains a greater proportion of glazing, while an orangery normally combines windows and doors with more masonry, an insulated perimeter ceiling and a central glazed roof lantern. This can make an orangery feel like a more permanent part of the house while still introducing abundant natural light.
The terminology is less important than creating the right balance of structure, glazing, insulation and usable living space. Kingsholme will help you consider the available options rather than restricting the project to a standard design.
Our timber orangeries combine traditional joinery and architectural detailing with modern glazing, security and insulation.
The windows, doors, roof lanterns and decorative components are manufactured specifically for each project in our Bedfordshire workshop. This allows us to control the proportions and coordinate every element rather than adapting a standard manufactured system.
We use responsibly sourced timbers including Accoya and Red Grandis. A wide choice of paint colours, window configurations, doors and ironmongery allows the finished orangery to be tailored to the property.
Kingsholme can manage substantially more than the manufacture and installation of the orangery structure.
Depending on the project, our complete service can include:
This provides one principal point of contact and helps ensure that the specialist joinery, building work and structural elements are properly coordinated.
Where an architect or building contractor is already managing a larger development, we can instead manufacture and install the bespoke orangery or roof-lantern structure.
The initial contact with Kingsholme and the professionalism of the product presentation singled Kingsholme out above other companies considered.
In short, we unreservedly recommend Kingsholme Conservatories as a highly competent company, offering excellent service and value for money, with whom it has been a pleasure to deal.
Colin has helped us throughout the process, and we were very pleased when he suggested another house in Harpenden that we could visit to see the quality of work before placing an order. We also thought your workmen on site were efficient, polite and customer focused.
We appreciated the low-key sales approach, and particularly valued the maturity and attitude of the people who worked on the conservatory.
The workmen were a pleasure to have, always polite and helpful. Mark, your no-pressure sales approach was a welcome change from the so called bigger companies.
My conservatory is much admired by all who see it and they comment on the high quality of the result. For me it is a daily joy. My thanks to you and I shall certainly recommend your company.
Now that the conservatory is finished Sarah and I would like to express our appreciation of the work that has been done. Back in the summer when we decided we would like to build, we had no idea who to go to and no local friends to make recommendations. We looked on the internet using words such as “bespoke, quality and individual” By chance we came across Kingsholme and then of course met with you.
We said that we did not wish to be involved with any sub contractors but that the entire job should be project managed by you. We also made it clear that we wanted a firm price for the job which would not change unless we altered the brief. You delivered on both counts.
From day one of the ground works until the final finishing touches were made recently all the people representing Kingsholme have been excellent. Skilled tidy workers, always polite and a pleasure to have around. Whilst the job was not always straightforward, i.e. the guttering which had to be specially made, there was no question of you cutting corners or compromising your quality standards.
We are delighted with the final result and especially pleased that we selected your company. Many thanks to all the team and particularly you Mark.
The whole process from our initial meeting with you through to works on site through to completion was undertaken in an extremely professional manner, resulting in an excellent conservatory design, a standard of work that is first class and undertaken by friendly/helpful operatives. The attention to detail was evident at all times.
The co-ordination of the different work disciplines was particularly impressive with the general disruption during construction kept to an absolute minimum and the site being kept clean and tidy throughout the course of the works.
Michelle and I wish to express our appreciation for the service provided by you/your company and cannot recommend you highly enough.
The whole experience from start to finish was very pleasant and professional. There was no pressure or haggling on prices, this was in total contrast to other prospective suppliers. Mark gave us some excellent design suggestions. The overall quality of workmanship was also first rate.
We have been very happy with the service provided, please keep up the good work!
Very pleased with general workmanship and helpful construction staff. Would be pleased to recommend your company to other people. Greatly appreciated Mark’s design of conservatory, blends in well with rear of house.
Thank you for making it a relatively easy experience for us! As mentioned to you previously, we are very pleased with the results.
We are really pleased with the conservatory and we will certainly recommend you.
We are very pleased with the final product, which looks excellent. Mark’s approach throughout was honest and helpful, in direct contrast to the many other sales people from other companies who were clearly only interested in securing the sale.
The fantastic reviews I see here reflect the experience we have had with Kingsholme. It has been faultless from the first contact through to completion of our orangery. The technical information on the website gave me confidence that the product is outstanding, based on years of experience. All of the team were outstanding, highly experienced tradesmen. The final product is of the highest quality in terms of design, materials and construction. There was absolutely no ‘sales’ involved and during my first call, I was given a ballpark figure based on the size of the space; the final cost was only higher because we increased the size and there were no hidden surprises. The first design we received was exactly what we wanted (they ‘got it’) and the only tweak we made was around the size of a side window. Mark agreed to take on some additional work inside the house, opening up a supporting wall between our kitchen and old dining room. I had struggled to get anyone to take this on, so was grateful to him for doing it. This proved to be quite a challenge for the team based on how the original wall was constructed and took a few more days than expected, however they worked constantly in horrible conditions until it was done. We didn’t have a lot of time to get involved in the project and that wasn’t an issue in the end as everything was taken care for us. It’s rare to say this of a company – we have not had a single issue with Kingsholme. Thank you to everyone involved.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this company. Every member of the team were polite and helpful, from our initial site meeting through to completion of the project. We feel that they offered a very high standard of work at a fair price. The design is top end and certainly comparable with the companies that advertise in House and Garden Magazine and buildings that we have seen exhibited at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show. From the groundwork team through to the decorator, every member of the team were highly experienced and meticulous with every detail of the work that they did to create a stunning orangery for us.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your help, assistance and understanding. It has been a pleasure dealing with you and we are delighted with the end result. If you wish to use us as a reference we would be more than happy to recommend you/ Kingsholme to prospective clients.
Excellent throughout; friendly, courteous employees. Good to your word regarding all aspects of the build.
Thanks for a good job – we are very happy with the end result.
I’m very happy with the quality of work and materials, the finished conservatory is exactly what I wanted. I would be happy to recommend Kingsholme or provide a reference site.
All the workmen were helpful, efficient and trustworthy. The standard of work was excellent and we are very satisfied with the end result. We would have no hesitation in recommending your firm to friends and neighbours.
The attitude of everyone connected with the selling and building of the conservatory was very good, both to their jobs and to the customer. I would recommend Kingsholme to anyone I knew who were considering having a conservatory.
Many thanks for the support and advice during the problems with the neighbours and development company. I appreciated very much the care and effort given during my major stress-out times! Your calm and matter of fact approach was very reassuring.
I am very pleased with the result, thank you.
We are delighted with our orangery, thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks again to you and all the team for your efforts, we are exceptionally happy with the end result, it has truly made a big improvement to our living space and we look forward to spending some quality time in the new garden room for many years to come.
We would like to thank you [Mark] and Kingsholme for installing us a wonderful conservatory and paying great attention to detail.
Many thanks to Mark for his professional and courteous attention to all matters from planning permission, to the final successful outcome.
Many thanks for a super job that has been well done.
We are very pleased with our conservatory and would like to thank you and your team for the good workmanship, attention to detail, care and consideration that has been shown to our property and us and would be happy to recommend your company. We would be grateful if you could pass these sentiments on to those involved.
Thanks to you, [Mark] Dave and Ian for a great job, the conservatory is all I had hoped for.
We were very pleased with your service, and we are delighted with the result. Thank you for all that you have done.
Thanks for your help in everything, you have given us a very good service!
A very workable solution to a difficult situation. Mark has been very diligent and has delivered what was proposed. A good job, many thanks.
Would not hesitate to recommend Kingsholme to anybody.
The job was very much to our satisfaction. Dave (fitter) is a good asset to Kingsholme.
Friendly and professional approach adopted by all staff, Dave and Ian demonstrated a particular pride in their work. Very happy with our new conservatory, we would recommend you to others.
Builders and glaziers were very professional and tidy, excellent job.
We were extremely pleased with the team that constructed the conservatory, they were especially polite and considerate to our needs regarding our dogs, and carried out their work in a very professional way. Your company is lucky to have them. All in all, we are very pleased with the end result.
All aspects of the total job seemed exceedingly well done. In particular I would mention the friendliness and extreme helpfulness of all those involved.
Fitters, workmen were all professional, polite and easy to communicate with. They took care to do a good job. We are very pleased with the conservatory and it is how we imagined it would be.
Our requirements have been met and we are very satisfied with the end product. Good supervision and communication with Mark throughout.
Excellent quality of work and people, many thanks!
Your staff were all excellent workers and very helpful. I am delighted with my new conservatory, which though small, does greatly enhance our living space.
We are very pleased with the conservatory and will have no hesitation in recommending you to all who admire it.
We have already recommended you to two other people, both of whom are having conservatories built by you. All the workmen were pleasant and polite, and got on well with the job. We are really pleased with the end result, and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anymore of our friends who are thinking of having a conservatory.
We are very pleased with our conservatory and patio, and would recommend Kingsholme to others
I am delighted with my conservatory and had my first Sunday afternoon tea in it this weekend.
We have had lots of compliments on the standard of build, and so far are very pleased with conservatory.
We are very pleased with the final result. We would recommend Kingsholme to friends and would use your services again. The workmen were excellent.
We have been very impressed by the design and build overall. Seeing the design develop into a finished conservatory has been very satisfying.
All involved have been helpful, polite and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble and the level of service was very good.
Very good team of builders and installers; always helpful and courteous.
We wish to thank you and your team for carrying out a very good job, we are pleased with the result.
Overall the work was done to a very professional standard, particularly groundworks, foundations and finish (plastering, flooring, electrics and heating) Care was taken to keep things tidy and to clean up afterwards. Very satisfactory!
The conservatory is looking really good. A great bunch of guys on site who got on with the job and kept things tidy. Very happy with the result and would recommend Kingsholme.
We are enjoying our new orangery enormously. We absolutely love it and so does everyone who visits. We spend a huge amount of time in here and it has added so much to our enjoyment of the house. People keep commenting on how well the design sits with the rest of the property — it looks as though it has always been part of the house. Thank you to Mark and the whole team for an excellent job. We would definitely recommend Kingsholme.
We are delighted with the finished project. The team were professional throughout and the quality of the work is first-class. We can’t wait to make full use of it now the weather is improving. Would recommend Kingsholme to anyone considering similar work — and we’re happy for prospective clients to come and see it if that helps.
Mark and the team delivered a great-looking space for us. It has transformed the way we use the house and looks exactly as we hoped. Straightforward to deal with and the finished result is excellent.
I was very pleased with the whole process, from the first phone call right through to completion. Clear communication, no surprises, and a professional finish. Kingsholme made what could have been a stressful job straightforward. Happy to recommend them.
Really pleased with the work Kingsholme carried out on our orangery and new opening. The team were careful, considerate and left the place tidy. Very little extra making-good was needed, which says a lot about the quality of the installation. Grateful to Mark and everyone involved — we would use them again without hesitation.
We are very pleased with the finished structure and your process to get there.
Kingsholme Conservatories have been building bespoke orangeries and conservatories in Buckinghamshire since 1997. All of the conservatories we have installed throughout Buckinghamshire have been individually tailored to meet each client’s requirements.
With an impressive track record of 25 years, we have established ourselves as a reputable company known for delivering top-quality builds and ensuring utmost customer satisfaction. As an independent specialist, our expertise lies in creating exceptional orangeries and roof lanterns. Our portfolio showcases a diverse range of designs, catering to both traditional and ultra-modern aesthetics. By entrusting us with your project, whether it’s a tailor-made orangery or the installation of a roof lantern, you can transform your living space and seamlessly connect with the outdoors, basking in the beauty of your garden and enjoying abundant natural sunlight throughout the year.
Please note that all the captivating photographs featured on our website proudly display the orangeries and roof lanterns meticulously designed and crafted by Kingsholme.
We specialise in crafting orangeries predominantly using timber, a timeless and sustainable material cherished for its natural beauty and quality essence. By blending traditional joinery techniques with modern technology, we create a product that seamlessly integrates the best of both worlds.
Each timber orangery we construct is meticulously customized to suit our clients’ unique requirements, harmonize with the host building, and maximize the beauty of the surrounding garden. The versatility of timber allows for a wide range of color options, ranging from crisp whites to bold greys and subtle pastel shades, ensuring a perfect match for any aesthetic.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, covering every step of the process, from design and manufacturing to seamless installation, guaranteeing that the final product exceeds initial expectations. We are equipped to handle the entire project, including any necessary building work, or alternatively, we can focus solely on manufacturing and installing the timber orangery components.
At our company, we offer a wide selection of traditional timber roof lanterns that can be supplied and installed as standalone items. Whether you’re seeking to replace an old skylight or create a stunning focal point for a new extension, our timber roof lanterns are designed to bring the ‘wow-factor’ into your room.
Our classic-style roof lanterns boast elegantly crafted ovolo moulded rafters and hips, constructed from FSC Certified hardwood. While the majority of the timber remains sheltered from the elements, ensuring durability is not compromised, the inherent strength of hardwood allows us to use slimmer sections while maintaining the required structural integrity.
To enhance longevity and minimize maintenance, we combine aluminium and accoya for the external components of the lantern. Our recommended choice for glass is solar control glass, capable of blocking out over 80% of solar heat and reducing glare. Additionally, this glass is equipped with a self-cleaning coating that surprisingly proves highly effective.
Kingsholme designs, manufactures and installs bespoke timber orangeries, traditional roof lanterns and contemporary aluminium orangeries. Every project is individually designed to complement the existing property and meet the client’s practical and architectural requirements.
We can provide the specialist orangery structure or manage the complete project from design and planning through building work, installation and finishing.
