Conservatories & Orangeries in Jersey

Vale Garden Houses has been designing and building conservatories and orangeries in the Channel Islands for over 20 years and has successfully completed many projects, each providing the client with a unique space, designed specifically to suit their needs and lifestyle.

Vale’s expertise and knowledge of architecture and period detailing stretches worldwide, encompassing designs for many of Jersey’s fine buildings and the Island’s specific building practices, joinery and detail. Our designs are worked to complement and empathise with local architecture and heritage.

Period Detail, Made to Measure

From hand-drawn designs and watercolour presentations to lead roofs dressed using traditional, time-served methods, every Vale conservatory and orangery is made to order. If a project is large or complex, needing specific knowledge of a period or structural requirements, we can explore the more complicated design and detailed requirements with you.

Questions

Conservatories in Jersey: Your Questions Answered

Do I need planning permission for a conservatory or orangery in Jersey?

Most of the projects we build on the island are of a size or detail that means they need Planning Permission, consent for a building of historical importance, Permitted Development rights or other approvals. Vale produces all of the drawings needed and can take over full responsibility for the design-related permissions on your behalf.

Who has to make the planning application?

In the Channel Islands all applications have to be made by a resident of the Islands. We prepare the drawings and, if alterations are needed, our designer liaises with your architect and the case officer assigned to the project.

Can you work with my architect or builder?

Yes. If you already have an architect and plans, we can liaise with them and work from their drawings, although we still produce our own drawings for the quotation. We are equally happy to work with your contractors if they are handling the conservatory as part of a larger project.

How does a Vale conservatory get to Jersey?

Every conservatory and orangery is made in our workshops, assembled and checked in our pre-installation area, then dismantled, packed and shipped on our own vehicles or on Jersey-specific freight vehicles. Installation is carried out by our own time-served joiners and lead-workers.

What happens after my conservatory is installed?

All Vale conservatories are covered by our guarantee and you are given advice on caring for your new room. We keep records of every project, including all glazing measurements, and as we are regularly working on the island a representative can visit without too much delay.
