Don't forget using a ladder to do simple things like clean windows and gutters will be impossible once the conservatory is up.
When we move I am only moving to a house that doesn't have a conservatory.
so do you have heating in it for winter ? I'm only asking because all the ones I have seen put radiators in from your central heating. Lots of companies use fancy reflective coatings on the glass now to stop the greenhouse effect happening ? do you have blinds ?
heating up the room in summer isn't going to be a problem because it's East facing and will only ge tthe sun until noon ish.
so what's the cost of a proper sun room build instead of a conservatory ?
