Surveying |

Once a contract has been agreed, a full survey is carried out by one of Malbrook Conservatories' experienced surveyors who will prepare final drawings of the conservatory or orangery for your approval as well as detailed base plans for the builder. Our structural engineers wil specify any load bearing requirements and prepare heat loss calculations, if required. |

Planning permission |
|
Where required, Malbrook Conservatories can apply for all necessary planning and listed building consents. We can also work with your architect, surveyor or builder as appropriate and will advise on requirements for building regulations. We are fully conversant with requirements for historic and refurbishment projects. |

High-level ventilation |

Roof ventilators may be manually or electrically operated as required, including thermostatic control systems. |

Door and window fittings |
|
Each door is fitted with a British Standard 5-lever mortise lock, lever handles, barrel bolts and cabin hooks. Each window is fitted with a casement fastener and stay with Chubb security bolts to meet insurance requirements. Malbrook Conservatories and Orangeries offer various ironmongery finishes, including brass, polished or satin chrome and stainless steel. |

Rainwater goods |
|
Rainwater is discharged from the conservatory roof to ground level gullies using Marley Classic or moulded aluminium guttering as required. |
|
Lead work and flashing |
|
Where the conservatory or orangery abuts the house, we provide and install all lead flashing and box gutters where necessary. Code 4 lead is used for most flashing, whilst lead, reinforced EPDM or similar may be used for box gutters and valleys. |

Painting and finishing |
|
All Malbrook Conservatories and Orangeries are painted or stained by our fitters to the highest standard. Choice of colour is entirely at the client’s wish and eco-friendly paints may also be chosen.

Glazing |
|
Double glazed roof units are constructed using 6mm toughened safety glass incorporating a 16mm airspace. Roof glass is held in a specially formed seal under aluminium rafter caps, which are polyester powder-coated and provide a maintenance free roof construction. Wall units are constructed using two leaves of 4mm toughened safety glass incorporating a 12mm airspace. All Malbrook Conservatories' units are manufactured and toughened to British Standards and are Kite marked.For most installations Malbrook would recommend the use of special low emissivity insulating glass together with Argon gas filling to double glazed units. Advances in technology allow us to offer further options including 'self cleaning' and solar control glass. |
|
Timber |
|
Malbrook Conservatories fully appreciate the importance of selecting durable timber of the highest quality for our conservatories and orangeries. Appropriate hardwoods are chosen from sustainable sources, and all sections are machined and assembled using traditional joinery methods, reflecting our attention to detail. |
