A good way to get rid of your conservatory is to sell it. Depending on its condition you may not make much money from it, but it’s an easy and financially viable way to get your old conservatory dismantled and out of the way. If you are replacing it, the installer can easily remove this for you completely.

Advantages for Conservatory
- uPVC is low maintenance. It doesn’t need treating with anything, and you can clean it by simply wiping it with a damp cloth
- uPVC is durable. It won’t rot or warp when it’s wet, like wood can. It also won’t fade when exposed to sunlight.
- uPVC is long-lasting. If a uPVC conservatory has been built well with quality materials, it can last at least 35 years.
- uPVC conservatories are often cheaper than other conservatories, as plastic is generally less expensive than wood or aluminium
- uPVC is energy efficient. It doesn’t conduct heat, which means it’s an excellent insulator. uPVC keeps the heat in your home so you don’t waste energy or money.
Disadvantages for Conservatory
- Despite its durability, uPVC can become brittle over time. This means that under impact it could shatter or splinter.
- uPVC is a commonly used material, and can look cheap when compared to options like wood or aluminium
- uPVC is not environmentally friendly. Its production gives off carbon emissions and uPVC isn’t biodegradable

Conservatory FAQs
Modern conservatories are well insulated and have double glazing. This means that you can use them in winter, as well as in the warmer seasons. Different roof options such as a glass roof or a titled roof will allow a conservatory to become simply another room in the home.
This varies according to the quality of the conservatory and installation work. If these are both high quality, your conservatory should last at least 25 years. But obviously if you notice deterioration or leaks, then this could be an early warning sign that time is running out.
Most conservatories won’t require Building Regulations approval. However, if you’re planning a conservatory more than 30 square metres in floor space this may be required. If there is no linking door between the home and conservatory then Buildings Regulations approval will be needed too. For more information and to ensure getting everything right, speak to the local council or planning officer.
Many conservatories fall under permitted development which means they don’t require planning permission. There are exceptions to this though, especially if you’re looking to have a large conservatory installed. Read our guide on conservatory planning permission for more information.
Whilst you may think conservatories are nearly all made from glass, this doesn’t have to be the case. If you live in a built-up area you could have a tiled rooftop to enable extra privacy, use obscure glass and even invest in blinds. Be aware that solid walls are possible but if the conservatory is manufactured with less than 50% of glass, you’ll need Buildings Regulations approval.
Whilst uPVC is the UK’s favourite because it’s cheap to manufacture and has a number of qualities, there are also options available including aluminium and hardwood. Both are popular for various reasons. Aluminium, as a metal, is the strongest and most durable material available for conservatories. On top of this it won’t rust, warp or crack. Hardwood offers a more traditional appeal and whilst it requires high maintenance levels, is perfect for conservation areas and listed buildings.
In 2002 the Government amended Building Regulations governing the replacement and installation of glazing units. For the first time, windows had to meet energy efficiency standards and tough thermal performance levels. For new window units you must have efficiency ratings of at least a level C.
