How Much Does a Lean-To Conservatory Cost?
The cost of your brand new lean-to conservatory will depend on several different factors.
This includes what overall style of conservatory you chose, what materials you are having it built with, and the location of your property.
For instance, living in certain areas in London will mean that your conservatory installation cost will cost more than if you are living in a different area of the UK.
However, the most important factor to consider in terms of how much your new conservatory is going to cost is size, which can massively affect the overall price of your conservatory.

Lean-To Conservatory Benefits
The lean-to conservatory, otherwise known as the Mediterranean conservatory, is one of the most simplistic and minimalist conservatory styles.
There are numerous benefits for choosing a lean-to conservatory offers, especially if you are looking to get the most out of your money while still working to a budget.
The lean-to offers all the advantages of extra space but without the massive cost of other similar extensions.
It will also add value to your overall property, should you ever choose to sell on, making it a great long term investment as it will make your home much more attractive to potential buyers.
Contemporary Appearance
With clean, sleek symmetrical lines, this conservatory style provides a contemporary appearance that will nevertheless suit both modern and traditional properties.
If you are looking for an understated look that draws attention to the pre-existing features of your property, the lean-to conservatory provides a fuss free structure.
If you are living in a property with limited space, or with restricted height or dimensions, such as a small terraced house or a bungalow, the lean-to conservatory is the perfect choice.
They are ideal for properties with low eaves, such as bungalows & cottages, as well as homes with period terraces.
Those with Victorian or Edwardian terraced houses often create a long, narrow lean- to style which extends into their garden.
Low Pitched Roof
This sloping roof attaches to the outer wall of your property, promoting rain runoff and creating the effect that it was part of your original property rather than an afterthought.
Easily adaptable, it can be fitted into even the more awkward of spaces without compromising your aesthetics.
Low Maintenance
uPVC is an incredibly hard-wearing material that doesn’t require any of the repainting, varnishing or sanding of timber frames, and will be able to last for years on end with only the occasional wash to keep it looking its best. uPVC will also never rot, warp or crack even after years of exposure to the elements.
Versatile
Lean-To conservatories aren’t just for those who can’t get larger conservatories, as they are a very stylish option that can be used in many different ways.
The multi-purpose space they provide allows them to be used as everything from a home office, a children’s play room and even a greenhouse should it strike your fancy.
Lean-To Conservatory Design
Lean-to conservatories are available in a variety of different styles.
Their base, as well as their roof offers great versatility, with all kinds of different roofs available to be fitted onto any kind of conservatory structure.
This flexibility makes lean-to conservatories highly desirable amongst home owners and buyers alike.
This simple structure offers many different conservatory combinations too. The Victorian or Edwardian design can be combined with the lean-to, creating a larger P-Shape conservatory design.
Conservatory Base
One of the many options includes dwarf-walls with solid brick plastered walls coming up around hip-height.
The walls come halfway up the structure providing more security and better insulation.
However, full height glass or uPVC panels are also available to give it a more modernistic, sleek appearance while also saving you money.
uPVC panels are the more affordable option, but dwarf walls will provide you with a greater level of privacy, security & efficiency thanks to their sturdier nature.
Conservatory Roof
Most lean-to conservatories come with a pitched roof, sloping outwards from the exterior wall of your property, but even that option comes with a range of personalisation options.
A lean-to conservatory can either have a shallow pitch that best accommodates properties with restricted height, such as bungalows, or a steep pitch which best suits terraced properties.
When it comes to choosing the material for your conservatory roof, there are a number of different options.
Polycarbonate roofs are the more affordable option, however they are not as thermally efficient or secure, while glass roofs bring in much more natural light and provide better views, security and thermal insulation.
Lean-to Conservatory Planning
Planning permission can be a real hassle for homeowners, not only adding extra waiting time before installation work can begin, but also costing you more in fees and stress than you wanted.
Yet, you will be pleased to hear that, thanks to recent changes in legislation, a conservatory is now considered to be a permitted development.
This means is that more often than not planning permission is no longer required in order to get one built.
However, there are still certain regulations in place that means that your conservatory will be subjected to the limits & conditions listed below to see whether or not they still qualify, such as:
- Will your conservatory be seen from either a road or public right of way?
- Has your property been extended or had any additions in the past?
- Are there any restrictive covenants applied to the property?
- Is your property a listed building?
- Are you located within a Conservation Area or an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ONB)?
You can find out more about conservatory planning permission by visiting the governments planning portal website.
