Conservatory Conversions
Modern Conservatory Comfort for Year Round Living
A conservatory is a brilliant traditional way of linking your main dwelling to your garden, enjoying the best of both worlds – a warm and comfortable room that feels like it is as much a part of the garden as the house.
However, many conservatories were built in the boom of the 1970s and 1980s, and are now suffering from a number of drawbacks, not least the perpetual problem of being too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer.
Our Conservatory Conversions
Modern Conservatory Conversions for Stylish and Cost Effective Living
Our conservatory conversions will usually keep the foundations that were used on the existing conservatory…but change pretty much everything else! The emergence of Modular technology means not just replacing the glazing, but the walls and rooves too, meaning a stunning new room that has a completely new layout, and is bang up to date, too.
By keeping the existing foundations, the price of a conservatory conversion will be less than a complete new room, whilst being faster to build and install.

Why Modular?
A SMARTER WAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR CONSERVATORY
Modular builds differ from traditional builds in that the construction of the superstructure takes place in a factory off-site. ‘Superstructure’ includes the walls, roof cassettes and where necessary floor construction. The components are then delivered when they are needed to the site and can be fully constructed in rapid fashion.
Opting for a modular extension opens up the option of ‘parallel manufacturing’, where the construction of the superstructure is done to precisely match when it is needed. This speeds up delivery and installation, and ensures that, for example, there is no waiting for site measuring.
Faster Construction
Because the structure is built off-site, installation on your property is completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional building methods.
Precision & Quality
Factory-controlled manufacturing ensures tighter tolerances, better consistency, and a higher standard of finish than on-site construction.
Energy Efficient
Modular extensions outperform many traditional builds with superior insulation, reduced thermal bridging, and improved airtightness.
Low Carbon Approach
With less on-site waste and efficient manufacturing processes, modular construction offers a more environmentally responsible solution.
About Conservatory Conversions
Modern Conservatory Conversions Benefits and Improvements
Most people love the idea of a fully glazed room that links the main house to the garden. However as technology has evolved, many older conservatories suffer from a number of disadvantages, all of which can be mitigated by a brand new conservatory conversion.
These disadvantages include:
- Tired, uninspiring look and feel
- Poor insulation properties
- Configuration no longer fit for purpose
- Old wiring that needs to be updated
- Broken or damaged roof panels and glazing
By converting your conservatory, you can bring all the advantages of modern, modular builds to your house whilst also adding value.

High-Performance
improve your home’s carbon footprint
Our modular extensions are designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency, improved comfort, and long-term value for your home.
EPC Performance
Modexa’s modular extensions are built using our modular system and are designed to achieve very high EPC ratings, typically A or high B, thanks to precision factory manufacturing, high insulation levels and reduced thermal bridging.
This will be a stand-alone rating and will be added to the main house rating, often meaning your extension will outperform your main house.
Higher EPC ratings mean:
- Lower energy bills.
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Increased property value/ resale value
- Better mortgage and lending options
Air Tightness & Thermal
Because Modexa modular extensions are manufactured in controlled factory conditions, construction tolerances are far tighter than traditional building.
This results in:
- Significantly reduced air leakage
- Improved thermal efficiency
- Consistent insulation installation
- Lower heating demand
Typical modular airtightness levels can be 70% better than many traditional builds.
Renewable Energy Ready
Modexa Modular extensions are designed to integrate seamlessly with modern renewable technologies such as:
- Solar PV systems
- Air source heat pumps
- Smart energy systems
This ensures your extension is ready for the future – High Performance Living.
Build smarter. Live better. Talk to our team now to deliver exceptional energy efficiency.

Whilst the superstructure is being manufactured off-site with our manufacturing partners, we will be preparing your site for delivery, so that, on delivery, everything goes as smooth as possible.
5
Delivery and Installation
With a fully-prepared site now in place, all modules will arrive ready to assemble, with installation fully completed within days.
frequently asked questions
Your Questions, Answered
Here are some of the most common questions about our modular extensions, pricing, and process.
Conservatories were extremely popular in the 1980s and 1990s, where the UK saw a huge growth in their popularity. As a result, many older generation conservatories are showing their age. Modexa Build are experts in taking an older conservatory and bringing it up to date with a new roof, new walls, new layouts and much better insulation properties.
Subject to a foundation survey, a conservatory conversion will generally use the existing conservatory as its base, so will usually be the same size.
The cost of a conservatory conversion will largely depend on what needs converting. For example, a replacement roof will inevitably be cheaper than if the roof and walls need replacing. Also make allowance for improvements to insulation, too
Yes, updating an older, inefficient conservatory will add value to your property. In fact, older and unsightly conservatories can often not add value to a property if they are deemed to be of little benefit to a purchaser.
Traditionally, older conservatories would suffer from being too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. With innovations in thermal retention and glazing, a converted conservatory can get over these issues and be a wonderful space to use all year round.
A modular approach is ideal for conservatory conversions; they are built off-site and assembled on site, reducing the amount of time a conservatory will be open to the elements during build.
