Thinking of a home extension?

If you are considering extending your home – whether through the addition of a conservatory or extension – then you should consider the Livinroom. It offers the light from a conservatory Milton Keynes with the feel of an extension, creating a whole new dynamic to the space – a ‘real room/living room’ feel.

Combining the light and sky of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of an extension, the Livinroom is truly multifunctional and offers lots more than either a conservatory or a traditionally-built extension. Providing more styling and furnishing options and with its perimeter ceiling perfect for down lighters,  it’s an ideal solution for extending a kitchen or, in fact, anywhere where extra living space is needed. 

**THE EVOLUTION OF CONSERVATORIES**

In the olden days, MK conservatories used to be little more than elaborate greenhouses for plants and fruit. Not so today. In fact, conservatories are becoming a very attractive alternative to a traditionally-built home extension, not least because they are so cost-effective and thermally efficient. With a range of designs and roofing systems to choose from, you can add a room that seamlessly blends in with other rooms in your home. A range of conservatory designs and roofing systems are on display in our showroom including the latest 'LivinRoof' - part solid, part glazed - giving you the best of both worlds!

Not only that, with *FREE VERTICAL CONSERVATORY BLINDS* until the 28th Feb 2016*, this is a great time to consider adding that extra space to your home!

*Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Stormy weather? No problem!

With the recent relentless stormy weather we’ve been experiencing, perhaps you’ve noticed that your windows or doors are rattling or are draughty. So now is a great time to consider replacing them. With A+ energy-rated Milton Keynes windows fitted as standard and our high-quality doors with superior weather tightness,  you can be reassured that next time a storm comes our way, you’ll keep warm and cosy. Not only that, you’ll save on those heating bills too!

Andy's Door!

We thought we'd share a pic of Andy's new Milton Keynes front door with you! We think it looks great, but don't take our word for it, here's what Andy had to say ..

"Dave and Tom have just fitted the most beautiful door. They were polite, tidy, unobtrusive and professional. Thanks Guys - outstanding!"

LivinRoom designs

We install many different shapes and sizes of conservatories. Take these two recent installations for example.

The Rosewood/White conservatory is known as a "Hipped Lean to" design and the brick pillar conservatory is one of our latest "LivinRoom" designs. Both offer different features, particularly the 'LivinRoom' with its perimeter ceiling which gives a whole new dynamic to the space - a 'real/living room' feel. The 'LivinRoom' can also be built with windows all round to maintain light and space, making it a very versatile option. customconservatory MK

We've got lots of other conservatory designs with different roofing options on display in our showroom, so come in and take a look!

MK Conservatory LivinRoof

Our customers wanted to replace their existing conservatory roof with a new one that would create a whole new look and feel to the room. The 'LivinRoof' was the perfect choice. With its combination of glass and solid panels to give optimum natural light and heat control, plus the internal perimeter ceiling for recessed lighting, it has truly transformed this conservatory into a room that is much more like a home extension.

The 'LivinRoof' is adaptable to fit just about any style of conservatory so as long as the existing structure is sound, then it can be a very cost effective alternative to replacing the entire construction. We've got the MK Conservatory LivinRoof on display in our showroom so come in and see for yourself just what a difference a roof can make!
