From the elegance of Victorian bays to the clean lines of contemporary lean-tos, every conservatory we create is designed to draw the character and beauty of your garden into the home. At Farrow & Jones, our service is entirely bespoke, taking you seamlessly from the initial design through to expert installation and the finishing touches.
Every conservatory we build includes exceptional Sapele hardwood, a factory-applied protective finish, solar control glazing and a genuinely full service from first the sketch to the final light switch. Here is what sets ours apart.
Dense, stable hardwood that resists warping.
Microporous coating, re-coat every decade.
Reflects heat, keeps rooms comfortable year-round.
From initial drawings through to electrics and lighting.
Every conservatory is built using Sapele hardwood frames, argon-filled double or triple glazing and a choice of glass panels or a lantern roof. Choose from options including French doors, bifold or sliding patio doors, and casement or flush casement windows, all secured with multi-point locks and toughened modern glass as standard. Roof vents allow for good air movement on warmer days, and every build is completed in line with building regulations.
Frames, doors and windows can be colour matched to your existing joinery, brickwork or the rest of the house. Given the fact that our conservatories are made bespoke, we can accommodate any finish you desire. Some of our frequently requested options include classic whites, heritage greens, contemporary greys or a bespoke RAL.

The grandeur of the Victorian conservatory has been marvelled at in this country for centuries. With a distinctive faceted glass front, ornate cresting, and a charm for filling a living space with plenty of natural light, the Victorian style remains the nation’s favourite. However, there are other styles worth considering, including the expansive Edwardian, the compact Lean-to and the instantly striking Gable-End.
However you plan to use it, an extra dining room for entertaining, a home office away from the rest of the home, or simply somewhere to keep a few exotic plants and watch the seasons change, our timber frames keep the space comfortable for daily use, all year round.
We build in Sapele hardwood rather than softwood, uPVC or aluminium for a range of reasons. The first is simple, it’s incredibly luxurious. Your guests will no doubt be impressed by the characterful frames, attention to detail and interlocked grain patterns. Sapele hardwood is premium from a performance standpoint too. It lasts for up to half a century with minimal upkeep needed from yourself and truly is best in class when it comes to thermal performance, a vital consideration currently.
We like to communicate with our clientele throughout the build with a dedicated project manager on each project. We are a family business that has completed over 500 projects across Britain. It’s our choice of materials and hands-on approach that consistently delivers the best results, at a price that holds its own.
Sapele hardwood forms our timber extension frames, chosen for its exceptional strength, stability, rich natural grain and ability to last for decades. FSC and PEFC-certified, it is complemented by Sarnafil roofing membranes and Teknos coatings for enduring protection.

Before committing to a conservatory extension, most homeowners have questions about planning, materials and practicalities. Here are the ones we're asked most often.
Most conservatories fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is not required. Conservation areas, listed buildings and certain property types are the exception, so we check this for you at the outset, and can sort it for you if required.
Once designs and permissions are agreed, most conservatories are completed within 8 to 12 weeks on-site. We handle groundwork through to a genuinely sofa-ready finish, including plastering and lighting.
Sapele hardwood offers greater structural strength for large glazed spans, a naturally low-knot finish and a lifespan well beyond uPVC or aluminium alternatives, ageing with far more character and aesthetic appeal. It also has the biggest positive impact on the energy efficiency of your home.
Yes. Our Victorian and Edwardian styles are especially suited to period proportions, respecting the original architecture of the home, including Grade II listed buildings, while traditional conservatories sit just as comfortably alongside a new home build.
A bespoke hardwood structure built around the architecture of the property, rather than a standard off-the-shelf design, is one of the clearest markers of quality. From broad garden views and vertical glazing to premium materials throughout, every dream conservatory we build offers a genuine sense of openness, a seamless connection to the garden and lasting appeal for period homes, country homes and more modern homes alike.
