Designed and made at our workshop in Studham, every Kingsholme orangery is created around the architecture of your home and the way you want to use the space.
Since 1997, our team has designed, manufactured and installed individually made orangeries, conservatories and roof lanterns for homes throughout Bedfordshire.
Every Kingsholme orangery is individually designed to complement
the architecture of your home, make the most of the garden and
create the living space you need.
Our timber structures, windows, doors and roof lanterns are made
to order by experienced craftspeople at our own workshop in
Studham.
We can manage the complete project, from design and necessary
approvals through to manufacture, construction, installation
and the agreed finishing work.
Every Kingsholme orangery is individually designed around the property, the garden and the way the new room will be used. Rather than working with standard shapes and sizes, we adjust the proportions of masonry, timber, glazing and roof construction to create an extension that feels connected to the original house.
Our designs range from traditionally detailed hardwood orangeries for period properties to cleaner, contemporary glazed extensions. Detailed drawings and 3D CAD views allow you to explore the design and understand how the finished room will look before manufacture begins.
When it comes to crafting our orangeries, we embrace the enduring charm of timber—a timeless and sustainable material known for its inherent beauty and remarkable tactile quality. By seamlessly blending traditional joinery techniques with modern technological advancements, we create a product that truly embodies the best of both worlds.
Every timber orangery we construct is a testament to bespoke craftsmanship, meticulously tailored to meet the unique requirements of our clients while harmonizing seamlessly with the host building and accentuating the natural splendor of the surrounding garden. The versatility of timber allows for a wide array of color choices, ranging from classic whites to bold greys and even subtle pastel shades, ensuring a perfect match for any aesthetic preference.
With a comprehensive approach, we take pride in overseeing the entire process, from initial design to precise manufacturing and seamless installation. This ensures that the end result not only meets but exceeds our clients’ initial expectations. If desired, we are fully equipped to manage the accompanying general building work, offering a hassle-free experience. Alternatively, we can focus exclusively on manufacturing and installing the exquisite timber orangery components, allowing you to seamlessly integrate this captivating addition to your home.
In our commitment to sustainability, we carefully source FSC Certified hardwoods, ensuring that our orangeries are not only visually stunning but also environmentally conscious. By selecting timber as our primary material, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with our construction practices while providing a durable and long-lasting structure that will stand the test of time.
Whether you envision an orangery that exudes classic elegance or one that showcases a more contemporary aesthetic, our team of skilled craftsmen and designers will work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Each timber orangery we create is a testament to our dedication to quality, personalized service, and the timeless allure of natural materials.
Experience the transformative power of timber orangeries—an exquisite addition that seamlessly blends architectural grandeur with the beauty of nature. Allow us to guide you through the process, creating a bespoke masterpiece that will become the heart of your home for generations to come.
A timber roof lantern brings natural light into the centre of an extension while creating a distinctive architectural focal point. Kingsholme roof lanterns can be incorporated into a complete orangery or supplied and installed for a suitable new extension or replacement project.
Every lantern is made to measure in our Bedfordshire workshop. Its proportions, glazing arrangement, paint colour and decorative details can be tailored to suit the room and the character of the property.
Our traditional lanterns combine carefully detailed timber internally with durable, low-maintenance external components. High-performance solar-control glazing can also help manage heat gain and glare while preserving a light, open atmosphere.
Kingsholme designs and manufactures traditional timber orangeries, conservatories and roof lanterns at our workshop in Studham. We also create contemporary glazed extensions incorporating aluminium windows and doors where these are better suited to the property and the client’s preferred style.
Every project is individually designed. We carefully consider the proportions of masonry, timber, glazing and roof construction to create a comfortable new living space that complements the original house.
Our experienced team can manage the complete process, from the initial design and necessary approvals through to manufacture, construction and installation. Alternatively, we can manufacture and install the orangery or roof-lantern components as part of a wider building project.
Our clients’ comments reflect their experience of working with Kingsholme, from the first design conversations through manufacture, construction and completion.
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.

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.

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

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.
An orangery or conservatory is generally treated as an extension for planning purposes. Some projects may fall within permitted development rights, while others require a planning application. The requirements depend on the property, the size and position of the proposed extension, previous alterations and any restrictions affecting the site.
Planning permission and Building Regulations are separate matters. A project may require Building Regulations approval even when planning permission is unnecessary. Listed buildings and homes within conservation areas can require additional consideration.
Kingsholme can assist with planning and Building Regulations as part of a complete design-and-build project. Our drawings and 3D CAD views clearly show the proposed extension in relation to the existing property and help establish the technical requirements before construction begins.
