Expert remedial work, crafted with precision
Many beautiful hardwood orangeries built in the 1980s–2000s now suffer from rot in the lower frames and cills, leaking roof lanterns, failed glazing seals, tired paintwork and poor thermal performance. Rather than demolish these much-loved structures, we specialise in bringing them back to their former glory — and often far beyond.
At Malbrook Joinery we have restored dozens of orangeries across the Home Counties, from classic Victorian-style lantern-roof designs to larger contemporary garden rooms. Our dedicated remedial team carries out thorough surveys to identify every area of decay or weakness, then delivers comprehensive, long-term solutions using traditional craftsmanship combined with modern high-performance materials.
Typical works include splicing new sections into rotted rafters and cills, replacing or over-cladding existing roof structures with new insulated panels and fibreglass finishes, upgrading to slimline double or triple glazing, installing new leadwork and flashings, re-aligning and servicing doors, and completing a full professional repaint with our proven microporous paint system.
The result is an orangery that looks brand new, performs to modern insulation standards, is completely watertight and will give decades more enjoyment — all while preserving the original architectural charm that made you fall in love with it in the first place.
