Conservatory ?

[Lazzzydog]

We have just placed an order for a conservatory with a company from Mansfield Woodhouse and it rings a bell with me that a forum member lives over that way but I can’t remember who it is. Anybody on here dealt with Conservatoryland with any stories good or bad about them?

Nearby, but sorry I've not had any dealings with them

Yep thats me Tony. I deliver their profiling and other stuff to them on a Friday. They have been around for a good few years so that's always a good sign.
I can't tell you what they are like as company but they have decent premises and the lads I deal with are fine. What I can tell you is our profile is seen as second best in the industry so you are getting a decent quality conservatory (before its manufactured).

Thanks Grumps, I have been in touch with them on and off for over 12 months and they come across as a stable company but I have just handed over a fair wedge of money for a cancelled order orangery so it’s good to have some re-assurance from somebody with closer connections.

Well it tested my patience at times and b******* my back up for a few weeks at a time when trying to get an appointment at our medical centre was akin to winning the lottery, but the orangery that I bought sight unseen is almost finished. I did book a builder to put it up for me but he let me down at the last minute so I did it myself. My neighbour who is in his eighties helped with the labouring and a friend put the final plaster skim on, and that’s the only bit I’m not 100% happy with so there might be a lesson there. No rest yet because the new kitchen cupboards arrive next week.

looks more reddy, than orangery

At least you’ve fortunate to have some mates to help out, hat off to the senior. Looking good for Xmas

Did you consider matching the bricks with the house bricks?

The bricks don’t match the house because I was penny pinching. The conservatory was a late cancellation by whoever specked it and it was ready for despatch. The company contacted all interested parties on their books and offered it at a knockdown price but it had to be taken with no alterations to the original order. The saving was good enough that I bought it with a view to either painting or rendering it to match the bungalow. That will wait til the Spring now.
