Hi,
Not sure whether this is the correct place to ask a question about conservatory bases but here goes...
We are looking at replacing the dwarf wall victorian style conservatory installed by the previous owners with one with a glass roof. In all honesty, although the conservatory was 'professionally' installed, I can't say I've been impressed with the quality.
I've started to have a look around at the options and noticed that dwarf walls are usually constructed onto a standard foundation strip. On our conservatory, it looks like the dwarf wall has been installed onto an off-site pre-cast concrete slab, which has been constructed on to some concrete pier type footings (I don't know how deep they go, etc).
Obviously my major concern is whether this 'quick' base construction would be suitable for the additional weight of a conservatory and glass roof, particularly given the safety implications.
I can't seem to find anything on the web about this type of conservatory base, so wondered if anyone has any views.
Many thanks,
Damian
