Orangery Price Guide

If you are thinking about extending your home with an orangery an estimate in pricing is a great help. A bespoke high-end orangery can cost a significant amount and even a budget orangery can set you back quite a few thousand.

If you are looking at higher quality materials and see some additional features you require, the project is likely to cost a lot more.

How much does an orangery cost?

On average an orangery costs close to £20,000. However lower quality uPVC orangeries can cost as low as £5,000 and luxurious bespoke orangeries made from quality hardwood can cost in excess of £100,000.

Orangeries generally cost more than other home improvement solutions such as conservatories due to a variety of differences in the structure and design and the increased value they bring to the property. You can learn more by reading our guide on orangery and conservatory differences

What makes a orangery cost it's price?

The biggest factors of the cost of an orangery is the size and building materials used. Other factors of price of an orangery are additional features within the project and the orangery manufacturer you choose.

The average sized orangery is 16m2, this results in the average price per square meter is £1,250. Keeping your orangery to the size you need without having excess unused space will help improve the cost.

Orangeries are generally available in three materials: uPVC, metal or timber. uPVC provides a cheaper alternative while keeping the costs lower and timber orangeries provide a higher quality build for a increased spend. This is a personal choice for the home owner to choose between quality versus cost.

Additional features such as heating options, automated blinds, rain sensors, quality glazing and other small add-on's will all be included in your final build price. More desirable design elements will also drive up the price including ironmongery and window/door designs.

Finally the cost of a orangery can be influenced by the reputation of the company which you decide to manufacturer your orangery. A company which is more reputable often can charge a higher price for the quality guarantee of the build, you may find smaller local companies which quote for a cheaper price but this could be a risk in quality.

An example of orangery quality going wrong can be seen in this recent article from The Sun in which a family from West Yorkshire invested £20,000 in an orangery and within months were noticing problems. Remember to do your research and ensure the quality level of the company before placing your money in a company's hands.
