“ The Only Way is hup ! for Hyde Builders
Tony and Liesel inherited an old conservatory when they moved into their home and felt that at around 20 years old , it had seen better days . As part of a large-scale renovation project on their home , the couple decided to transform their conservatory into an energy efficient , new extension using the hup ! system – and are absolutely delighted with their decision .
The couple explained more about transforming their conservatory with hup !: “ Our old conservatory wasn ’ t working for us - it was dated , we struggled to achieve a comfortable temperature , and the old polycarbonate roof was very noisy when it rained . As there were lockable doors between the conservatory and the house and due to the issues we had with it , it just remained unused and locked off from the rest of the house .
We had a vision when we set about transforming the conservatory and that was that we wanted a modern open plan space that would connect with our kitchen

and allow us to enjoy our garden without being in the garden . It was important to us that the new space was energy efficient , because as part of our home renovation project , we installed solar panels , and so wanted to ensure that this energy efficiency / environmental focus was also carried through into our new extension .
Our builders , Fairway Construction , told us about the hup ! system and it
After
After seemed the perfect solution for our project . We loved how when we were discussing design options , we could put new walls , windows , and doors wherever we wanted on top of our existing base . Our builders explained that had we built the new extension from bricks and mortar , the new walls would have been too heavy for the existing base . This meant we would have had to create a new base which would have added considerably to the cost . We chose a solid wall against our boundary wall , a gable style tiled Ultraroof with huge skylights , picture windows in the gable end , and bi-fold doors opening onto our garden .
When it came to the build it was very quick to take down the old conservatory and then we were amazed that the new hup ! was built in just over four days . The speed of the transformation was quite incredible .
Our new extension is now everything we dreamed of . It ’ s a beautiful modern room that is open plan to our kitchen , making the whole space very family orientated . We love all being together when cooking , entertaining etc and the amount of light in the extension and the kitchen is fantastic . On the outside we chose render so that the new extension ties in perfectly with the rest of our home and we are delighted with how it looks , both inside and out .
When hup ! came along there was an absolute trust right from the start that this was going to be a fantastic product from start to finish and we ’ re really , really happy with it , in fact , it ’ s been life-changing . The only way is hup !”
