Quick answer
Builderr builds conservatories and orangeries across Tower Hamlets (E1, E2, E3, E14, E15), where the borough's Victorian terraces in Bow and Bethnal Green sit alongside Georgian terraces in Spitalfields and new-build dockside apartments in E14. Rear gardens in the E2 and E3 terrace stock are modestly sized but can accommodate a lean-to conservatory to excellent effect. Lean-to conservatories cost £35,000–£95,000; full orangeries run £60,000–£185,000. Build duration is 8–14 weeks. Spitalfields and Whitechapel conservation areas, as well as the Bethnal Green conservation area, have Article 4 directions removing PD rights — full planning permission is required in those zones.
Spitalfields conservation area (E1) contains some of the finest surviving 18th-century domestic architecture in London. Conservatory or glazed extension proposals on or adjacent to listed Georgian terraces in E1 require both planning permission and Listed Building Consent. Tower Hamlets conservation officers maintain strict design guidance for the Spitalfields area.
