Nestled amidst the verdant landscapes of Hertfordshire, traditional orangeries and conservatories stand as timeless symbols of architectural elegance and refinement. These exquisite structures, often crafted from high-quality timber and featuring intricate detailing, evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while offering modern-day functionality.
In Hertfordshire, where historic charm and natural beauty converge, traditional orangeries and conservatories seamlessly blend with the picturesque surroundings, creating serene havens that invite natural light and provide a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Whether used as a sun-drenched dining area, a cozy reading nook, or a stylish entertaining space, these versatile living spaces enrich the lives of residents, offering a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor splendor. As Hertfordshire continues to cherish its architectural heritage, traditional orangeries and conservatories remain cherished additions to local homes, preserving the region’s timeless elegance for generations to come.
We offer a selection of classic timber roof lanterns that can be supplied and installed as standalone fixtures. Whether you’re replacing an old skylight or looking to create a stunning focal point for a new extension, our timber roof lanterns are designed to bring a captivating “wow-factor” to any room.
Our traditional-style roof lanterns boast ovolo moulded rafters and hips, crafted from FSC Certified hardwood. While most of the timber remains protected from the elements, ensuring durability is not compromised, the inherent strength of hardwood allows us to use slimmer sections without compromising structural integrity.
To ensure minimal maintenance, the external components of our roof lanterns combine aluminium and accoya. For optimal performance, we highly recommend solar control glass, capable of blocking out over 80% of solar heat and reducing glare. This type of glass is also equipped with a self-cleaning coating, delivering surprisingly effective results.
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 time.
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 keep 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 propective 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 greatful 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 that 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.

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.

Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside and historic towns, Hertfordshire is a vibrant county rich in natural beauty and architectural heritage. For residents, businesses, and developers alike, securing planning permission is a pivotal step in shaping the county’s growth while preserving its unique character and charm. Understanding the complexities of the planning process is essential for navigating development in Hertfordshire effectively.
Hertfordshire, with its diverse landscapes and thriving communities, is subject to careful planning regulations aimed at maintaining its distinct identity and ensuring sustainable development. Oversight of planning matters in Hertfordshire is managed by various local planning authorities, including Hertfordshire County Council and individual district councils, each responsible for evaluating applications within their jurisdiction.
For homeowners considering alterations, extensions, or new construction projects in Hertfordshire, the first step is often to determine whether planning permission is required. While some minor works may fall under permitted development rights, larger projects typically necessitate formal approval from the relevant council. Seeking guidance from planning officers or consulting with professional advisors can provide clarity on specific requirements and ensure compliance with local regulations.
In Hertfordshire, where heritage preservation is highly valued, properties located within conservation areas or designated as listed buildings may be subject to additional planning restrictions. Preserving key architectural features, respecting the character of the area, and using sympathetic materials are essential considerations when seeking planning permission in these designated zones. Working closely with conservation officers and incorporating heritage considerations into proposed developments can help streamline the planning process.
For developers proposing new construction projects in Hertfordshire, navigating the planning process involves submitting comprehensive proposals, engaging in consultations with local authorities, and addressing any concerns raised by residents or community stakeholders. Factors such as environmental impact, traffic management, and infrastructure considerations are carefully evaluated to ensure that proposed developments align with the county’s vision for growth and sustainability.
Throughout the planning process in Hertfordshire, transparency, communication, and community engagement are paramount. Engaging with local residents, seeking input from planning authorities, and demonstrating a commitment to high-quality design and sustainable development practices can help build support for proposed projects and increase the likelihood of approval.
In Hertfordshire, where the balance between progress and preservation is delicately maintained, obtaining planning permission plays a crucial role in shaping the county’s future. By adhering to local regulations, respecting the county’s natural beauty and architectural heritage, and embracing sustainable development principles, homeowners, businesses, and developers can contribute to the continued prosperity and beauty of this cherished county for generations to come.
