Using Dave’s maintenance tips, you can help to prolong the life of your new conservatory and ensure that it remains a beautiful and functional space for generations to come. Research and Planning any home improvement project takes time, read Dave’s FAQ over a cup of tea.

Cleaning Conservatory windows and frames in the sustainable way

Clean the windows regularly to prevent dirt build-up and maintain clear visibility. Use a mild, eco-friendly cleaning solution and a soft cloth, but you know this already. Just don’t use brilo pads. Clean the frames and sills to remove dirt and grime, some people just use flooring wet wipes, easier to dispose and no buckets of water. Pay attention to areas around hinges and handles like your mother would do. Go to poundland and invest in a nylon duster, dust and clean any furniture, curtains, or other accessories in your conservatory like cane furniture with loads of holes. A quid will go a long way, as do surface wipes.

Hanging out in the garden? Carry out regular inspections

Landscaping your garden in mind? Check for any signs of leaks, such as water stains on the ceiling or walls. If you notice a leak, address it promptly to prevent further damage. It’s like toothache, don’t ignore it thinking it will get better. It won’t.

Excessive condensation can lead to mold and mildew growth, this is really common so be prepared. Ensure that your conservatory has adequate ventilation to prevent condensation.
Structural Issues: Inspect the structure of your conservatory for any signs of damage, such as cracks or sagging. If you notice any issues, consult a professional for repairs.

Seasonal Checks – Winter is Coming

Before Winter:
Inspect the roof for any damage caused by winter storms or heavy snowfall.
Check for leaks and ensure that the heating system is functioning properly.
Consider using insulation covers or blinds to help retain heat during cold weather.
Before Summer 2025:
Inspect the roof for any damage caused by high winds or hail.
Check the ventilation system to ensure it is functioning properly.
Consider using blinds or curtains to help block sunlight and keep your conservatory cool during hot weather.

Mansfield homeowners choose to build a conservatory with Buildworks because…

Conservatories provide a valuable extension to the home, creating a new space for relaxation, dining, or entertaining. This additional living space can be used as a sunroom, playroom, gym, or even a home office. Conservatories are designed to increase natural sunlight, creating a bright and airy atmosphere, having a positive impact on mood and well-being.

A conservatory offers a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. It allows you to enjoy the beauty of your garden while remaining sheltered from the elements. Walking through your home and seeing a glorious morning may persuade you to try an al fresco breakfast, but sheltered from any wind. You can sit and admire your blooming garden as you tuck into Eggs Benedict.

Increased Property Value: Adding a conservatory to your home can significantly increase its value.

Potential buyers often find conservatories to be desirable features. Buildworks were established back in 1971, which means in 2024 we are celebrating 53 years in the building trade. We specialise in new builds, home extensions, barn conversions and general property refurbishment.
