From concept to creation

Conservatories Cork

Add light, space and a room your family will actually use, all year round.

Add More Space and Light to Your Cork Home 

A conservatory or sunroom extension gives your home something most Cork properties are missing, a bright, usable room that doesn’t feel like a bolt on. Some homeowners want a fully fitted conservatory, built with generous glazing to bring in as much natural light as possible. Others are after a sunroom extension instead, with more solid walls and a stronger focus on comfort, so the room holds its heat and gets proper year-round use. Either way, there’s often a lighter option too, a garden room style space for reading, relaxing or simply catching more daylight through the darker months. 

Whatever the brief, the process involves more than just glass and a roof. There’s planning, groundwork, structural work, glazing, electrics and finishing, all of which need to come together properly for the space to work as intended. 

That’s where IVCG comes in. As your single point of contact, IVCG manages and coordinates the whole project end to end, from that first conversation about layout right through to the final finish. You’re not left juggling separate tradespeople or chasing updates, you deal with one team who keep things moving and keep you informed. 

Whatever the scope, the process involves more than knocking through a wall and laying some flooring. There’s planning, structural work, insulation, electrics and plumbing where needed, and finishing, all of which need to come together properly for the space to work as a genuine room rather than a converted shell.

Conservatory FAQs

It depends on the size and position of the build. As of July 2026, a rear extension or conservatory is generally exempt from planning permission if it doesn't add more than 45 square metres to the original floor area of the house and isn't higher than the house itself. If it's built above ground level, it needs to sit at least 2 metres from any boundary and is capped at 12 square metres for terraced or semi-detached homes, or 20 square metres for detached homes. Whatever's left of the rear garden space can't drop below 25 square metres, and protected structures face extra restrictions. The same general rules apply to garden rooms where relevant. It's always worth checking your specific situation before work begins, and IVCG can talk you through where your project stands.
There's no single figure that applies across the board, whether you're pricing a fully fitted conservatory or a smaller sunroom extension. Cost comes down to size, the type of glazing used, the finish level you want and whether electrics and heating are being fitted. IVCG provides a clear quote once they understand what you're looking for.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a conservatory typically refers to a more traditional, glass heavy structure, while a sunroom tends to have more solid walls and a stronger focus on year-round comfort. In practice, both are built to the same standard by IVCG.
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, along with planning requirements. IVCG will give you a realistic timeframe once your design and scope are confirmed.
