Base and Wall Construction

Scott James Commercials reputation as one of the south east's foremost manufacturers and installers of conservatories is built on its product quality, workmanship, service and attention to detail.

This is particularly important when it comes to the building work that will go into your conservatory. Due to the high specification and tight tolerances which we work to, we have our own building teams that carry out the work.

	The foundations which we dig will be a minimum of 600 mm deep and 500 mm wide. Quite frequently, we go a lot deeper than this due to the individual site requirements.
	Concrete poured into the trench until it is 150 mm below ground level. This will be left to set prior to the cavity wall being erected.
Cavity walls are then erected, including the all important damp proof course, to the agreed height.
	Inside the perimeter goes hardcore topped off with sharp sand to make a cushion for the damp proof membrane.
	Damp proof membrane is laid, followed by 50 mm of dense polystyrene for insulation.
	On top of the polystyrene goes 100 mm of concrete.
	Once the conservatory is erected, we then lay a 50 - 70 mm sand and cement screed floor. Just prior to this, if specified, we will carry out any plastering.
Finished Conservatory that will stand the test of time.
