Most people who ask us about a conservatory in Derby start with the same question: what will I actually use it for? A dining room that looks onto the garden, somewhere for the children to spread out, a quiet place to work. Answering that first makes every other decision easier, from the shape to the roof.
Amber Windows is a family-run Midlands manufacturer and installer. Our factory and head office are in Coleshill, where our frames are made, and every enquiry from this website comes to our head office. From there we arrange a free home survey at your house in or around Derby.

A conservatory used as a dining room needs a different layout from one used as a playroom or a home office. At the survey we look at how the room would connect to your house, where the sun falls during the day, and which existing doors and windows would open into it. You can see the range on our conservatories page, or look at modern designs, Victorian and Edwardian styles.
The roof decides how warm the room feels in winter and how bright it is in summer. Our guides explain the roof options and the glass choices in plain English, so you can ask informed questions when we visit.
If you want a room that feels closer to the rest of the house, a kitchen extension may suit you better. We can talk through both at your survey, and our extension guide sets out the differences.
Many conservatories can be built without planning permission, but not all. It depends on the size, your house and where you live. Our planning guide covers the basics, and you should check with Derby City Council or your local authority if you are unsure.
Your work is covered by our comprehensive guarantee. Read about our guarantees. If you would like to spread the cost, we can explain our finance options when we visit.
We fit in Derby and nearby areas, including Alvaston, Allenton, Chellaston, Spondon, Chaddesden, Littleover, Mickleover, Long Eaton and Borrowash. If you are not sure about your address, ask us.
Many customers update more than the conservatory. See our windows and doors.
It depends on how you will use the room and which way it faces. We talk through the options at your survey, and our roof guide is a good place to start.
That is one of the main things we plan around. The glass, roof and heating all affect comfort, so we cover them before you decide.
