I like Airey Houses. You can probably tell.
Hi ,
I am new to this site so if I am asking a question that has already been dealt with sorry!
My Mum and Dad live in an Airey house which they want to attach a conservatory to, but they have been told that it is not possible - is this the case, or are there conservatories design for this type of building?
Yes, all the good sized ( Parker Morris Standards) council houses were the first to go Ideally if there is a semi pair of them , long term the most £ucrative option is to both agree and demolish for new build . When the market settles. With modern technology there should be no problem weathering/flashing from a concrete wall to a cons. roof /wall BUT it won`t look pretty. It will have to be "glued" on Traditionalist that I am , I still embrace modern waysI like Airey Houses. You can probably tell.
Thank you so much!
I was begining to think I had made a big mistake asking the question!
You are right about the Airey houses - I am very impressed with the size and design of my parents home.
I will pass this information on to them which should make my Mum a very happy person indeed.
I too own my airey house & think its fab! i agree with what the nice man said about it being possible to attach a conservatory.
we are considering something similar at the back so it would extend the hall & kitchen. my dads a fabricator engineer & works on constructing big buildings with steel & hes said it would be no problem adding to these using steel beams etc
he said as long as loads are supported properly eg not just a steel beam put accross the top of were you remove a post (as thats not how the posts are meant to be) & theres lots of triangles its fine! hehe! I have copies of the original plans to mine if anyone needs them theres 3 drawings very old but give an idea how they are constructed.
I searched for a good 18 months to get info on airey houses on the net & wasnt hugely succesfull as it was so full of pages saying how rubbish they are! so what information i have i will gladly pass on.
