DIY conservatory help please

[abiknox]

i am looking to get a conservatorey for our house and want to do it as cheaply as possible. i have found this one from B&Q

Can anyone tell me what i would need to do myself / get someone into do for me ie dig footings, build wall and construct the glass and approximately how much that would all cost. I want to know if this is a better option than going strait to a company that will do everything.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Abi - the B&Q models are very basic specifications. For a better model, I recommend http://www.conservatoryland.com - you will get all the help you need from there.

Doing-it-yourself or project managing some subbies is certainly possible if you know what you want and are confident doing it.
Otherwise it may end up looking a mess and actually devalue your property.
If you seriously are only interesting in getting it done as cheaply as possible, perhaps you could consider a shed instead?
