White UPVC conservatories installed between 1990 and 2010 are the most common type across Bristol’s family housing stock. Over time, the profiles yellow and develop surface staining.

We clean and degrease all UPVC profiles, lightly abrade the surface, mask all glazing, and apply a UPVC adhesion primer before the finish coats. Two coats are sprayed for a factory-smooth result.

Older conservatories, particularly lean-to structures added to Clifton and Redland properties in the 1970s and 1980s, are often aluminium-framed. We use an aluminium-compatible etch primer before applying the topcoat.

Victorian and Edwardian lean-to conservatories on Bristol’s period properties are often timber-framed. The timber needs to be assessed for condition, any rot addressed, and an exterior wood primer applied before the finish coats.

Most conservatories sit on a dwarf wall. Where this is painted or rendered, it often looks tired at the same time as the framework. We include the dwarf wall in the scope wherever the client wants a complete result. For rendered dwarf walls, see our render painting page.

The visual impact of a conservatory colour change is immediate. A white UPVC structure from the late 1990s can be entirely transformed to anthracite grey or black to match contemporary window frames.
