A conservatory installation is an effective way to expand your Devon or Cornwall home and bring natural light into your property. Your home is a valued space, and an expertly built conservatory has many benefits, however poorly executed installations can be detrimental to your property’s performance as well as appearance.

There are many routes you can choose to take when it comes to extending your home by adding a conservatory. You may decide to:

 

• Hire a local installer or builder to do the work for you

 

• Opt for a company that supplies and installs your new conservatory

 

Whichever way you choose to undertake your home improvement project, we would recommend only purchasing products and services from a conservatory specialist. Investing in a conservatory that meets current standards, installed by experts is worth it. The approval as well as validation from key industry organisations is more than just a certificate, it is actual proof that the products and services meet the highest standards achievable.

 

Here at Realistic, we have been enhancing homes across Devon and Cornwall with market leading conservatory, orangery and home extension roofing systems for over 15 years. We are proud to only use products with accreditations, so that homeowners can trust us to provide top quality products.

TOP ACCREDITATIONS FOR CONSERVATORY COMPANIES

There are many accreditations conservatory specialists can receive and as an Ultraframe Improved Installer, we are proud to their systems that have been accredited and approved by several key industry organisations.

The best conservatory companies will have the stamp of approval from several regulatory organisations, including (but not limited to) the following:

The British Standards Institution (BSI) - The BSI is the UK’s national standards body, generating technical standards on an extensive range of services and products. Conservatory companies, installers and products can comply with several BSI regulations, with certain frameworks and companies having more accreditations than others.

Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) - The GGF is made up of over 200 leading glass manufacturers, installers as well as suppliers. This organisation was started to promote higher standards in the glazing industry with all members having to undergo thorough testing and follow the GGF code of good practice. A GGF accreditation is government acknowledged and the organisation plays a large role in influencing building regulations and standards.

 

When searching for the best conservatory roof replacement companies or conservatory specialists, look out for manufacturing companies that comply with the BSI standards, including:

 

ISO 14001:2015 - This is the standard companies must meet to show they are doing all they can to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

 

ISO 9001:2015 - Companies that meet this standard can demonstrate that they can consistently provide services and products that meet regulatory and consumer requirements.

 

BSEN 12608 - By achieving this standard, you’ll know that your new conservatory is made from high standard materials, is impact resistant and the framework features strong corners.

 

BS 7412 – To conform with this BSI regulation, conservatories must meet high tolerance requirements in construction, safety, security and weather resistance.

Double Glazing & Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme - Conservatory companies with a DGCOS accreditation only use installers who are vetted annually, ensuring they continue to comply with the rules of the scheme. When you choose to work with a DGCOS company, you will benefit from free deposit protection, a free insurance back guarantee and free stage payment protection. A conservatory is a big financial investment, and choosing a DGCOS approved conservatory company can provide you with additional peace of mind.

 

British Board of Agrément (BBA) - The BBA assesses, then validates the performance of a range of products, ensuring that they comply with national building regulations and industry standards. Choosing a BBA approved conservatory company means your new installation has been inspected to verify its quality, safety, and performance.
