Box gutters explained
Our box gutters are a structural part of the conservatory roof. Usually around 135mm wide but ranging upto 210mm. Our aluminium box gutter bolts straight on to the house wall. Its robust self supporting design whether used on the side, back or both of the conservatory is easy to fit and made to measure for your design.
In some situations such as a bungalow you may not have enough room under the soffit to fit the box gutter above the back door. In this situation the box gutter can be fitted directly onto the fascia with the window frames of the conservatory carrying on back under the soffit to the wall.

Raised box gutters
This type of box gutter is mainly used in situations where a partial return wall is interfering with the roof. Its high back and additional strength make it ideal for welding and creating turns in the gutter. Its use allows the window frames to be run inline with the wall without the need to build support pillar.

Beware of Unscrupulous Diy Conservatory Companies
October 7th, 2010It’s not often that I get angry but currently there is a wave of stupidity running through the diy conservatory industry. At www.diyconservatoryquotes.co.uk we offer glazed diy conservatories. Our competitors cant, they have to offer separate frames with the glass not in the frames as their conservatory walls have to be screwed together. The cause of my frustration ………. when asked by a potential customer “are your frames glazed”, they are replying yes. Then supplying conservatory frames that the poor customer has to remove the glass from the conservatory to screw the frames together and then REGLAZE them. What a complete waste of time, effort and risking of breaking the glass.
Here’s a piece of advice why not ask “Does your conservatory come fully glazed and can you explain how the frames assemble together?”
I don’t mind healthy competition but this kind of stupidity ruins the customers experience and the potential of future recommendations or maybe they just dont get ANY recommendations !!!!

Diy Conservatory Kits
July 13th, 2010How to save time with a Diy conservatory Kit.
Our diy conservatory kits are the fastest and easiest diy conservatory kits to put up on the market. To start with our durabase system was designed with speed and ease of use in mind. I put my 3.5mtr x 3.5mtr durabase up in under four hours from start to finish. Granted I did dig the pad plans the weekend before but they only took me 3hrs. With each pad stone being 450mm x 450mm I would say each one took half a dustbin bag of mud out which I easily lost down the garden. Once secured here’s the key to making sure your build goes well……… Measure the cills twice and screw down once checking all the diagonals. If you do this I guarantee the time you save is worth the double checking. Using Best technology our customers (the majority novice diy’ers) can’t believe that they will have the window frames up and ready to take the roof before the end of day one is up. We get a lot of customers that say they did it faster but if you take this as a guide it is true. What’s the secret? A Fully patented locking system that allows preglazed windows to be installed. We actively encourage you to check out the competition and ask them if their system has the glass in the frames when it arrives at your house. I doubt it. Once the frames are in our comprehensive 70 page manual guides you through the roof and with every individual piece being labelled to match your bespoke roof plan and our technical roof support guys on call (office hours) there’s not an easier way to build your conservatory.
