When thinking of extending their home, most people consider a traditional conservatory build, but if you want to bring outside living in and inside living out, then a beautiful new orangery could be the perfect option.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
One South Wales couple did just that but went a step further and redesigned their kitchen too as part of the project. City life spoke to Steve and Valerie Harris on why they chose Vale Orangeries to transform their home.
Did you get quotes from other companies before choosing Vale Orangeries?
Yes, one other quote. What was it that made you choose to work with Vale Orangeries? We both liked Dean's manner and attitude to the project. He seemed genuinely interested in helping us create a space that worked for us as a family. He was always approachable and available to discuss any aspect of the project.
What work did they carry out for you at your property?
A 7x4m extension from the kitchen and Dean helped us design/project manage a new kitchen. He introduced us to Andy Brown who designed and installed a modern kitchen.
Did you give them a tight brief or were they able to give their design input and offer suggestions?
Yes, we had our own ideas on what we wanted, but Dean was always on hand to offer useful suggestions or alternatives to the design.
Are you happy with the work?
We're very happy. There were no problems along the way and the builders did a great job. They arrived on time and if there was a delay due to the weather, they worked over the weekend. Everyone was trustworthy which meant a lot as it was not possible to be around all of the time. Of course, Dean was supportive and nothing was too much trouble.
Would you recommend Dean and Leanne to friends or colleagues?
Absolutely. Without hesitation.
What difference has the work done to your home made to the way you live?
It has provided us with a lovely bright family space. It is a lovely place to entertain or just to chill out and relax. The initial idea was to get more light into the kitchen and we certainly achieved that and more.
