What to ask for

The questions you should ask a potential installer

• Ask about prior jobs that the installer has undertaken in the area

• Ask for references or testimonials from previous customers

• Ask to see the installer's certification and official approvals

Having satisfied yourself of the installer's credentials, you can then:

• Discuss your ideas for a conservatory and ask the installer's opinion of what would be suitable, based on:
  
  • your budget
  • intended size of your conservatory
  • the size and location of your house
  • the available area for building
  • the layout of the surrounding area

• Get an accurate idea of costs

• Ask for a timing plan

• Ask for a full design service, including drawings of how your conservatory will look - this will be provided by the installer's own design consultant

• Ask for a full technical assessment and plan - this will be provided by the installer's own surveyor
