Conservatory q (upvc one)
Folks,
We got a conservatory from Wickes years ago and had it professionally installed. One side backs onto neighbours garden and is more or less up against
a 6' fence.
It would be better, and we should have thought about it then if that one side was a brick wall.
So, the obvious q is, can it be retrofitted as a brick wall (already has double brick dwarf wall)
Cheers
ATB

In theory, yes.... I built my own upvc conservatory and could have put a brick wall in one side.
Depends on the shape of it really.

im sure a good bricky could do that no bother. Do bear in mind that it might require some sort of permission from the council regarding the percentage
of walls that are glass etc.

Ours is exactly that.
My understanding (not a fact) is that it needs 6 or 12"? clearance of the border line.
Ours was put up during a neighbours period of vacancy some years ago ( before us) and built on the line

I'm not certain, but I think that the rules changed recently and the transparent/translucent area is no longer a limiting factor. As long as
your conservatory is "permitted development", then the council should have no involvement and it should be perfectly possible to replace
one side with brickwork.
Other options are to cover the glass with frosted film to hide the fence or remove the glass and replace with similar thickness uPVC panels.
