In an uncertain world it is reassuring to know that there is a company that has built an enviable reputation for Quality, Expertise, Service and Trust to provide bespoke structures for our many clients from conception to completion, on time, on budget, while showing respect to their design brief and property.
Garden Rooms
Conservatories are great additions to a home but some people find that they can be a little too hot to use in the summer or too cold in the wintertime.
Garden rooms are an innovative upgrade to an existing conservatory gives you the best of both worlds. With a garden room, you have some interesting design possibilities available to you that transform a conservatory into a very useful room.
Orangeries
Orangeries are structures comprising of a flat roof perimeter with a glazed lantern in the centre, flooding the interior with light. The flat roof perimeter is highly insulated and can incorporate lighting and speakers, it also provides shade from high levels of sunlight, which can often be oppressive in a south facing conservatory.
A major advantage of orangeries is that the flat roof area ensures that the glazed roof area does not intrude on any upstairs windows and also gives easy access to clean and maintain such windows as well as the lantern roof itself.
Conservatories
Our wealth of experience has helped us build up an excellent reputation and working relationship with both clients and many local authorities, who now know if Strata is carrying out the project it will be organised and completed to a high standard following the correct procedures and regulations.
Our vast experience in project management ensures your project will flow smoothly, on time and to your chosen budget. We strive to ensure the process is stress free for our clients, consulting them throughout.
Porches
A porch on the front or rear of your property will generate an air lock that separates your lovely warm home from the ravages of the English climate outside.
But a porch can be so much more, it can bring shape and character to a building as well as a home for plants, coats and shoes.
Car Ports
Carports are seeing a vast growth in demand over recent years, with many homeowners opting to use their expenditure to optimise the value of their own home and seeing the vast benefits they can offer.
The modest yet effective design allows great affordability. However, if customers require a more decorative carport to fit in with a traditional style, bespoke designs are available upon request along with our Victorian upgrade Package which can be added to create a more aesthetically pleasing and ornate finish.
Verandas

Not only does aluminium require little-to-no maintenance outside of regular cleaning, but users will be able to use their outdoor living space all year round free from the elements
Walkways

Orangery rooms
Orangery rooms are one of the most popular ways of extending your home and adding light, space and variety to your living space. During Victorian times these rooms were built to provide a warm bright space that was suitable for growing, at the time, ‘exotic’ fruits and also for a beautiful space to sit on a sunny evening.

Traditional orangeries
The history of the Orangery begins with records of Roman times, it was really not until the 18th century that botanists, bringing back tender exotic citrus plants from round the world that led to the first appearance of the orangery or conservatory as part of the great homes of the wealthy and aspirational in Britain.
