Make more of your home with a bespoke orangery designed around the way you live. Kingsholme designs and builds timber orangeries and conservatories in Harrow, creating space for kitchen extensions, dining rooms and garden-facing living areas.
Our timber windows, doors and roof lanterns are made to order at our Studham workshop in Bedfordshire. From the first design drawings to construction and installation, we can coordinate your project under a clearly agreed scope, or work alongside your architect and builder.
Every orangery is developed around your home, garden and intended use. Detailed 3D drawings help you explore the proportions and layout before manufacture begins.
Our timber windows, doors, roof lanterns and decorative joinery are made to order at our Studham workshop, giving us close control over detailing and finish.
We can coordinate design, approvals, construction and installation, or work alongside your existing project team, with responsibilities and scope agreed from the outset.
The character of an orangery comes from its proportions and details: the height of the windows, the arrangement of the doors, the roofline and the relationship between timber, brickwork and glass.
We consider these elements together so the extension feels connected to the original house. Traditional glazing bars and decorative joinery can complement an older property, while simpler detailing can create a quieter, more contemporary appearance.
An orangery kitchen extension can create space for a dining table, a comfortable seating area or a more generous connection between the kitchen and garden.
We start with the layout of your existing home and how you want to use the additional space. Furniture positions, circulation routes and the location of garden doors all help shape a room that works for everyday family life as well as entertaining.
Our complete design and build service brings together the main stages of creating your orangery, from developing the design and coordinating approvals to construction, joinery installation and agreed finishing work.
If you already have an architect or builder, we can discuss supplying and installing the orangery elements within their wider project. Clear responsibilities from the outset help the work progress smoothly.
An orangery typically has a solid roof perimeter surrounding a glazed lantern, while a conservatory generally has a more extensively glazed roof.
The choice affects the character of the room, the distribution of daylight and the space available for lighting and other fittings. We can help you consider both approaches alongside your home’s orientation, privacy and intended use.
Replacing a conservatory is an opportunity to reconsider how that part of the house works. The new design might create a more useful dining area, improve the connection to the kitchen or provide a separate room overlooking the garden.
Our Berkhamsted project shows an ageing uPVC conservatory replaced with a bespoke orangery. For your home, we would assess the existing structure and foundations before deciding what could be retained as part of the new work.
A timber roof lantern brings daylight into an extension and creates a focal point above a dining table, kitchen island or seating area.
Our traditional roof lanterns are made to order, allowing their size, proportions and finish to be considered alongside the room below. They can form part of a complete Kingsholme orangery or an extension being constructed by your own builder.

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.

All aspects of the total job seemed exceedingly well done. In particular I would mention the friendliness and extreme helpfulness of all those involved.

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

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.

Really pleased with the work Kingsholme carried out on our orangery and new opening. The team were careful, considerate and left the place tidy.

We are very pleased with the finished structure and your process to get there.
