Conservatories & Extensions

Create a two-week extension with hup !

Homeowners Sarah and Steven had an old , unloved conservatory that was in urgent need of attention . It had become little more than a dumping ground that was permanently closed off from the rest of their home and the couple wanted to create a new open plan space that could be used all year round . When looking at the traditional build route , things always seemed too complicated and expensive . However , when they came across the hup ! building system everything changed .

» HUP ! IS A FANTASTIC CHOICE FOR anyone wanting to extend their home or transform an existing conservatory . Simple to order , incredibly fast to build , far more energy efficient than traditional builds , and with endless designs possible , building with hup ! is a no-brainer .
The system offered the perfect solution to all of things associated with a traditional build that had put them off , such as spiralling costs , weather delays , too many trades to coordinate , long build times , lots of strangers in their home , mess and disruption – the list goes on . hup ! builds are carried out by one small team , with Building Regulation red tape taken care of , and a super-fast build ( five times faster than building with bricks and mortar ) that is not affected by adverse weather . Costs are confirmed at the point of order and because hup ! is pre-manufactured offsite , there is minimal mess and disruption . As hup ! is so light , it is often possible to use an existing base which is what Sarah and Steven chose to do , saving time and money .
Once the build began , the core structure of walls and roof was in place by the end of day one and the structure was watertight by day three . The new lean-to Ultraroof was glazed with two full length glazed panels that bring in so much more natural light than the old polycarbonate roof and coupled with the large bi-fold door and full-length window , the couple ’ s

light filled dream really started to take shape . The build continued to move quickly with the same small hup ! team carrying out the electrical and other works and the entire project from start to finish was fully completed in just 14 days .
Commenting about their experience of a hup ! build , Sarah said : “ We knew that building with hup ! is fast but seeing the build happen in just a few days was amazing . We couldn ’ t believe how warm it was - even before our radiator was fitted it was already as warm as the rest of our home ! We removed the doors that used to separate the old conservatory from our kitchen and are delighted that we now have a stunning open plan extension that will totally change how we live in our home .”
