Hi,
Has anyone recently replaced, or installed a new, conservatory in Wellington?
We need to replace our existing unit (which is old and tired) with a new, slightly larger, version of the same, but I'm having a devil of a time even getting quotes....I've been trying for two months, and I've had ONE, yes only ONE, quote come back - and that was steep to say the least! It has got to the point where between the lack of responses, and the crazy high quote that I do have, I'm seriously considering changing my conservatory such that I can frame it all out of SG8 timber, clad the outside, and then installing *standard* aluminium joinery.
The conservatory is three sided - it has a 2m half-height side section sitting on a low wall, a 4m floor-to-ceiling section in the front, and small 0.9m wide floor-to-ceiling section on the other side. The rest is all backed into the existing house structure. We also have a lightweight insulated sandwich panel roof.... so this is hardly complicated...
I'd be very interested to hear if I've just had a really bad run of luck or if this is a more common problem....and for those who have had success, which company was used and were there any hassles or issues?
Cheers,
B.
