Highly Glazed Extensions and Orangeries
Modern and stylish highly glazed extensions and orangeries are fast becoming the ultimate in glass design and are desirable additions to any home.
However, if your client wants lots of glass, folding doors that open into the garden, a roof window or a lantern, you need to prove compliance to current building regulations L1B. These are sometimes referred to as 'Orangeries'.
At Tophouse Assessments, we can get building regulations Part L approval with the minimal amount of fuss and often with no change needed to the design of your highly glazed extensions or orangeries. We’re that confident that the final design proposal will be acceptable to building control, that we’ll offer a full refund of our fee in the unlikely event that it isn’t* (terms & conditions apply).
Highly glazed extensions and orangeries are slightly different to a conservatory; in that there is no separation between the main dwelling and the extension. They're also normally heated using the main central heating system in the property.

What Happens Next for your highly glazed extensions?
When you or your architect sends us the construction plans for your highly glazed extension or orangery, we will send you a quotation. If you go ahead with it, we will do all the necessary highly glazed extensions calculations and produce a report with full supporting documentation. We’ll also provide you with a list of details to be incorporated into the plans.
The highly glazed extension report will be a report of recommendation to building control from our fully qualified assessor (OCDEA) and will be sent out as a PDF in two parts.
