Can the preview show different roof styles — Victorian, Edwardian, or a lean-to?

Yes. Run a separate preview for each roofline you're quoting — a traditional Victorian roof with ridge cresting, an Edwardian box-eaves style, or a plain lean-to — all on the same rear elevation, so the homeowner compares rooflines on their own house instead of in a catalogue.

Does it match the frame material and colour we're actually quoting?

Yes. White uPVC, anthracite grey aluminium, woodgrain foil — whatever frame spec is on the quote gets reflected in the render, so what the homeowner sees at the kitchen table matches what turns up on installation day.

Can it show a dwarf wall matching our existing brick, or a full-height glass base instead?

Both. The AI reads the brick colour and bond of the existing house and matches a dwarf wall to it, or renders a full-glass base from cill height if that's the spec. Homeowners choosing between the two see the actual difference on their own wall, not a swatch.

How is a conservatory preview different from an orangery preview?

A conservatory preview renders a predominantly glazed structure — glass roof, slim frames, dwarf wall or full glass. An orangery preview renders a more solid structure with a brick or render parapet, a flat or lantern roof, and less glass overall. Installers quoting both often generate one of each so the homeowner sees the actual difference in solidity and light before choosing.

Does the preview account for planning permission or conservation area rules?

No — it's a visualisation tool, not a planning consultant. Most single-storey conservatories fall under permitted development in England if they stay within standard height and footprint limits, but conservation areas, listed buildings, and flats always need a separate planning check.

What happens to the house photos after the preview is generated?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets UK GDPR or any other regulation that applies. No training on your customers' photos, ever.

What does a conservatory preview tool cost?

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

How is this different from the 3D conservatory design software we already use?

Most conservatory design software produces a schematic drawing or a generic 3D model — useful for the installer, meaningless to most homeowners. This produces a photograph of their own house with the conservatory on it, in under 10 seconds, from a phone photo taken during the survey.

What is a conservatory preview preview?

A conservatory preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a proposed conservatory built onto a homeowner's actual house. The installer photographs the rear elevation during the home survey, and the tool renders the chosen roof style, frame material, and glazing directly onto that wall — not a generic show-home photo. Conservatory and glazing installers use this at the kitchen table to move a homeowner from "we'll get a couple more quotes" to a signed order in the same visit.

Why it matters

A mid-size conservatory typically runs £10,000 to £35,000 or more depending on frame material, roof style, and glazing spec — a price point where homeowners routinely book three competing quotes before signing with anyone. The sales cycle stalls because brochure photography always shows someone else's Victorian terrace or 1930s semi, never the homeowner's own rear elevation, so the leap from "here's an example installation" to "here's my extension" is where deals go cold. A preview generated from the actual house during the survey visit closes that gap in the same appointment, before a competitor's rendering ends up on the kitchen table instead.

Who uses this

Field sales surveyors doing the in-home consultation — the exact moment competing installers are being compared side by side. Showroom staff at glazing and home improvement retailers who want the visual in hand before a homeowner walks out to "think it over." Installers quoting both conservatories and orangeries who need to show the difference between a full-glass roof and a solid, insulated one on the same house.

Heard this from a homeowner mid-survey?

They flip through the brochure and say the example conservatory is on a totally different house — different brick, different roofline, nothing like theirs.

One partner wants a traditional Victorian roof with a ridge and finial, the other wants a plain lean-to, and the decision stalls because nobody can compare both against the actual house.

They tell you they're "getting two more quotes" and go quiet for three weeks while a competitor's render sits on the fridge.

How conservatory preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the rear elevation

One phone photo of the wall where the conservatory will sit, taken during the survey. No CAD software, no scaffolding, no second visit.

AI builds the conservatory onto that wall

The model renders the roof style, frame material and colour, and dwarf wall or full-glass base against the house's actual brick, render, and roofline — not a template house from a brochure.

Present it before you pack up the tape measure

The homeowner sees their own house with the conservatory attached, on your tablet, before you leave the kitchen table. The quote gets discussed against a real image instead of a mental sketch.
