Before you purchase your DIY conservatory you need to measure the size of your site to understand which model of conservatory to purchase. You also need to assess obstructions and access routes.
Common obstructions include manhole covers, gas boiler flues, rainwater down pipes and even water overflow pipes. Therefore a little time surveying your proposed site to make sure none of these lay within the site before purchase can save a great deal of stress and heartache afterwards. If they do lie within your proposed site, do not despair, as it is possible to move the position of most of these items. diy2go.com do however suggest that you seek professional advise in this instance.
The majority of DIY conservatory styles look magnificent with all house styles, however if you live in a bungalow you have to take into consideration the height of the overhang of the eaves on your property. diy2go.com recommend that you choose a double hipped DIY conservatory if you own a bungalow as this eliminates this problem.
Access to the DIY conservatory site is also a consideration. How will the delivery drivers get the DIY conservatory to your proposed site? Do you live at the end of a narrow street? Do you have restricted access to the rear of your property? All these issues and more can be overcome, but they still need to be considered in order to guarantee that your project runs smoothly.Please note that current UK building regulations insist that your door from the house to the DIY conservatory is an external grade door.
