Looking for a Veranda? Get a Stunning Glass Veranda to Elevate Your Outdoor Space

Yes, Sunspaces Verandas are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including harsh UK weather. The high-quality materials and robust construction ensure they are durable and long-lasting, providing a reliable outdoor living space.

This is a very common question, and the good news is that in many cases, a veranda or sunspace falls under "permitted development" rights in the UK, meaning you don't need a full planning application. However, it's crucial to check the specific rules as they can vary depending on your property and location.

You will most likely need planning permission if:

• The structure is over 4 meters high (or 3 meters high if within 2 meters of a boundary).

• The veranda or sunroom is located on a part of the house that faces a public road.

• The new structure covers more than 50% of the land around the "original house."

• Your property is a flat, a maisonette, a listed building, or is in a designated area like a conservation area, National Park, or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

• The veranda includes a raised platform or balcony over 300mm high.

While we can provide expert guidance, it is the homeowner's responsibility to ensure all necessary permissions are in place. We can, however, assist you in navigating this process.

Sunspaces verandas and glass rooms offer a modern alternative to traditional conservatories. While a conservatory is a fully enclosed, insulated extension that requires extensive groundwork and often a full planning application, a veranda or glass room typically has a much quicker and less disruptive installation. They are also often more cost-effective. A key difference is the "feel" – a conservatory is a new room, while a veranda or glass room is a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living

The cost of your veranda or glass room will vary significantly based on its size, the materials you choose (glass or polycarbonate roof, aluminium frame, etc.), and any additional features like lighting or heating. A simple glass veranda is a more budget-friendly option, while a fully enclosed, bespoke glass room with all the accessories will be a greater investment. We provide a tailored, no-obligation quote after a consultation to ensure the price is precise for your specific project.

The installation of a Sunspaces veranda is surprisingly quick and efficient, with most projects completed in just 1 to 2 days. A more complex glass room might take a little longer, typically around 2 to 3 days. This is significantly faster than building a traditional conservatory or home extension, which can take several weeks or even months.

Our verandas and glass rooms are built with high-quality, durable aluminium frames and toughened safety glass, designed to last. We offer a comprehensive 15-year product guarantee to give you complete peace of mind, with a life expectancy for the structures of 25 to 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
