Bespoke Conservatories in Dorset
Beautifully designed conservatories, built around your home and lifestyle.
Create more space, welcome natural light and enjoy a closer connection to your garden with a bespoke conservatory from David Fennings 1969. With over 40 years of experience, our family-run business designs and installs high-quality conservatories tailored to your property, personal style and everyday needs.
Conservatories Designed Around You
A beautiful conservatory can completely transform the way you enjoy your home, providing a bright, welcoming space for relaxing, dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden throughout the seasons.
At David Fennings 1969, we have been designing and installing conservatories across Dorset and the surrounding areas for over four decades. From traditional Victorian and Edwardian designs to contemporary and fully bespoke structures, we create conservatories that complement your home rather than simply extending it.
Working with quality hardwood, aluminium and uPVC, we offer a wide choice of frames, glazing, doors and roofing solutions. Every project is carefully considered to deliver the right balance of appearance, functionality and long-term performance.
From your initial ideas through to the finished installation, our experienced team provides personal guidance, skilled workmanship and attention to detail at every stage.
Conservatory Styles
Find the Perfect Conservatory for Your Home
Whether you prefer the timeless appeal of traditional architecture or the clean lines of contemporary design, we offer a range of conservatory styles that can be tailored to suit your property, available space and budget.
-
Elegant and full of character, Victorian conservatories are recognised by their distinctive three-bay or five-bay fronts, pitched glazed roofs and decorative detailing. Their traditional appearance makes them a popular choice for period properties and homes where architectural charm is a priority.
Each design can be customised with different bay proportions, roof pitches, doors and ornamental finishes to suit your home.
-
With their square or rectangular layouts, Edwardian conservatories combine classic styling with practical use of space. Straight walls and generous proportions make it easier to arrange furniture, creating a versatile room for dining, entertaining or everyday relaxation.
An Edwardian design is particularly suited to homeowners who want a traditional appearance without compromising on usable floor space.
-
Modern conservatories offer a stylish, practical way to extend your living space. Featuring clean lines, generous glazing and contemporary materials, these designs complement both modern homes and traditional properties seeking a more understated extension.
From simple lean-to layouts to larger contemporary structures, modern conservatories can provide excellent flexibility and make effective use of the available space.
-
Every home is different, which is why a standard conservatory design isn’t always the right solution. Our bespoke conservatories are designed around your individual requirements, whether you have an unusual property layout, a challenging building position or a particular architectural style in mind.
We can combine traditional and contemporary design features, incorporate specialist glazing and adapt roof and frame configurations to create a conservatory that feels genuinely unique to your home.

Materials & Finishing Options
A Conservatory That’s Built to Last
The right materials play an important role in the appearance, comfort and performance of your conservatory. We offer a range of quality options to suit different architectural styles, maintenance preferences and budgets.
-
Hardwood Conservatories
Hardwood offers timeless character and natural beauty, making it an excellent choice for traditional properties and homeowners seeking a distinctive, premium finish. With the appropriate care and maintenance, hardwood conservatories can provide lasting performance and complement both classic and contemporary homes.
-
Aluminium Conservatories
Aluminium combines strength, durability and a sleek contemporary appearance. Its slim frame profiles allow for generous glazed areas, helping maximise natural light while creating a clean, modern finish. Aluminium is also a practical, low-maintenance choice.
-
uPVC Conservatories
Versatile, practical and cost-effective, uPVC remains a popular option for conservatory construction. Available in a choice of colours and finishes, uPVC offers good thermal performance and requires relatively little maintenance, making it suitable for a wide range of properties.
Conservatory Roofs & Glazing
Comfortable Living, Whatever the Season
Your conservatory roof and glazing have a significant influence on how the room looks, feels and performs throughout the year.
At David Fennings 1969, we offer a range of glazing and roofing options to help create a space that suits your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a traditional fully glazed conservatory, a combination of solid and glazed roof sections, or a modern tiled roof solution, we can help you choose the most appropriate specification.
For homeowners looking to improve the comfort and usability of an existing conservatory, we also offer replacement roof solutions, subject to the condition and suitability of the existing structure.

01258 459259What type of conservatory is best for my home?
The most suitable conservatory depends on your property’s style, the available space and how you intend to use the room. Victorian conservatories offer traditional character, Edwardian designs maximise practical floor space, and modern conservatories provide clean lines and flexible layouts. We can also create bespoke designs for more unusual properties or specific requirements.
Can a conservatory be used all year round?
Yes, with an appropriate design and specification. Modern glazing, insulation, ventilation and suitable roofing solutions can help regulate temperatures and improve comfort throughout the seasons. We can advise on the options available for your proposed conservatory.
Do I need planning permission for a conservatory?
Not necessarily. Some conservatories may be built under permitted development rights, provided the relevant conditions are met. However, requirements vary depending on the size, location and circumstances of your property. Building regulations may also apply. We can provide guidance on the relevant considerations during the design process.
How much does a new conservatory cost?
The cost of a conservatory depends on its size, style, materials, roof design, glazing specification and the groundwork required. As each project is tailored to the property, we recommend arranging a consultation to discuss your requirements and receive a quotation.
Which conservatory materials do you offer?
We work with hardwood, aluminium and uPVC, offering a choice of finishes to complement both traditional and contemporary properties. Each material has different benefits in terms of appearance, durability, maintenance and cost.
Can you replace the roof on my existing conservatory?
Yes, we offer replacement conservatory roofing solutions, including insulated warm tiled roofs. The suitability of a new roof depends on the condition and structural capacity of the existing conservatory, which must be assessed before work begins.
Can you create a conservatory for an unusual property layout?
Absolutely. Bespoke conservatories are one of our specialities. We can design around irregular layouts, restricted spaces and individual architectural requirements, adapting the frame, glazing and roof configuration to suit your property.
How long does it take to install a conservatory?
Installation times vary depending on the size, design, groundwork and complexity of the project. Planning requirements and material availability can also influence the schedule. We can discuss an estimated timescale once the design and specification have been established.
