FAQs about greenhouse installation services

How long does greenhouse installation take?

Most standard greenhouse installations take one to two days, depending on size and base preparation.

Do I need planning permission for a greenhouse?

Planning permission isn’t usually required for a greenhouse, unless the structure exceeds permitted development limits or is in a front garden or conservation area. Always check with your local planning authority to be sure.

Can I install a greenhouse myself?

Many greenhouses are sold as self-assembly kits, but professional greenhouse installers can ensure the structure is level, secure and weather-resistant.

What base is best for a greenhouse?

A concrete slab or paved base is typically the most stable and long-lasting foundation for greenhouse installation.

What time of year should you build a greenhouse?

A greenhouse can be built at any time of the year. However, erecting a greenhouse between November and March will mean your new greenhouse is up and running for the start of the growing season.

Setting up a greenhouse in spring though will mean more favourable weather conditions for the installation.
