Working with Eddie and the team at David Salisbury has been a fantastic experience. Eddie helped us find the perfect design for our orangery, offering innovative ideas to remodel the entire living area of our house. His expertise and creativity truly stood out.
A very valuable aspects of our experience was Eddie’s introduction to very trustworthy builders, ensuring the project was completed to the highest standards. The orangery has added immense value and beauty to our home, and we are incredibly impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship.
I would also like to point out that Eddie is somebody you can 100% trust and rely on, even after the project is finished. His commitment to customer satisfaction is truly outstanding.
Overall, we highly recommend David Salisbury for their exceptional design and manufacturing services.

If you want the very best orangery look no further than Salisbury. From the first moment their representative Eddie Spillane arrived he couldn’t have been more helpful and keen to help in any way possible. He was so adept in guiding us to get the very best out of the design with lots of good ideas we had not thought of because of his vast experience in designing orangeries. Also suggested builders if we needed anyone. His suggestion was just the best and we couldn’t have been in better hands. Eddie was always on the end of the phone if we had any queries or always came back as soon as possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. We have just loved the finished result it’s quite beautiful and we live in it all the time. Do not hesitate to choose Salisbury you will be delighted and get the best. I looked at many other companies also.

We needed to replace an aging lean to conservatory and after discussing this with various suppliers we got in touch with David Salisbury. From the outset we found them the most helpful and imaginative of all. In particular, their lead sales person, Eddie Spillane, came up with a wonderful orangery design that transformed the existing space from a very utilitarian area to an elegant structure that is a delight to look at and spend time in. Having firmed up the design, their fitter team headed up by Tony Channon-Jones could not have been bettered. They were so polite, tidy and professional making it a pleasure to have them in and around our home during the build. The DS team looked after us throughout the whole process taking care of all aspects of the build and finding solutions to all the little hurdles encountered on any building project.

The finished product has definitely exceeded our expectations. We now choose to spend time in the room and where as the old conservatory got too during summer and too cold in winter, the orangery overcomes this with modern materials and design and we now have a room that can be used all year round. We shall certainly enjoy using our new orangery for many years to come.

From the initial contact to the finalised building I have nothing but praise for David Salisbury employees and their dedicated builders, Retro Builders.
Eddie Spillane was the designer and he assisted in overcoming the objections of a neighbour. The ultimate finish was of the highest. I would highly recommend David Salisbury .

We built the glass house, which we call the link, a few years ago. (Could not load the correct date so arbitrarily picked one. We built in 2018) It has been an absolute delight. Everyone in the family thinks it's the best room in the house. Visitors smile when they see it. Warm in winter and a delight in summer. The construction is sound, the care and attention to detail is good, the customer attention is excellent and even years later, the firm, approaching its 40th Anniversary year, still does everything it can to make the creation, build and finished project a delight to have as a part of one's home.

From the moment Simon Martin the chief designer of David Salisbury & Co Ltd arrived it was like having a personal session with a tailor. His approach was so professional, it can only be applauded. The factory backup and support was equally as impressive, faultless. The David Salisbury team who fitted the Orangery and their building contractors, Neil Tuckers & Co, were equally as capable.”

Helpful and efficient service throughout - both in person and via email. Very smooth process.

The Orangery designed, supplied and installed by David Salisbury is an outstanding product. We carried out plenty of due diligence, including a visit to the factory to see the manufacturing process prior to signing up. I have also waited a few months prior to this review to make sure there were no snagging issues but I needn't have worried. The people we dealt with at DS, the standard of installation and the quality feel of the product is outstanding. Even now the addition to our home gives my wife and I a thrill. We have had people walking past the house call on us to ask where we sourced the build. Even the building control sign off team from the council (we are in a conservation area) remarked on it. The scale, weight and quality of the materials would not look out of place in the building of a cruise liner. Utterly fabulous.

David Salisbury designed, manufactured and fitted our Oak garden room in 2023.
We got three quotes and after visiting the joinery we went with David Salisbury, they ticked all the boxes.
We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. The workmanship and quality of our Garden room exceeded our high expectations. Paul our fitter was an absolute joy to have at our home.
We would 100% recommend this company and have already showed our garden room to several potential new clients.

Having recently completed the installation of a David Salisbury orangery, we can safely say it has totally changed our home for the better. We now have a beautiful living space that we feel proud to show off to friends and family. The whole process was completed with minimum fuss and we enjoyed being involved in the design process, choosing some of the finishing touches. The installation team were a pleasure to have on site, working tirelessly, sometimes in pretty poor weather – what dedication! We certainly did a fair bit of research before hand but couldn't be happier with our decision to choose David Salisbury and would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for an orangery extension.

First class service and great product. The glass extension has completely transformed a once tired, cold living room into a warm, cosy and bright place to be. The initial design was almost perfect but a couple of suggested improvements along the way made this product something to be truly proud of. David Salisbury's was an easy and open company to deal with, I'd recommend to all!

Rudy came round to quote for new windows and a small extension earlier this week. He was very helpful, gave lots of detail and was very professional.
We have been so delighted with our Orangery that was built about 14/15 years ago, that we would like to use David Salisbury again for our next project. We have had no issues with it and it still looks new ( we have repainted the sills and windows but the roof part does not need maintenance) would definitely recommend!

Bought unit in 2022. Hard sell from salesman. Quality proven to be mediocre. Slow to get repairs done. Lots of administrators/estimators/planners who are poor at communicating between themselves.

I note the reply from DS. Contrary to the inference, DS are well aware of our complaints.

Update - pleased to hear that DS are focused on fixing the issues. To date every problem has taken months. In the 6 months since completion, this has included faulty roof glass, exploding glass door, poor seals, beading falling off etc etc etc ! We look forward to improved speed of rectification of inferior quality workmanship.

If you are looking for a first class orangery in terms of looks and quality, look no further. Everyone from David Salisbury is very experienced and professional.

Davis Salisbury's fitted our first conservatory in 1999 excellent service and delighted with result. Sept8th 2022 scaffolding fell onto said building damaging it beyond repair due to roofers errors.
Contacted this firm who were incredible helpful original designers still with company Quote was accepted and the original builders still working with the company did a great job of rebuilding walls etc. D .the fitter and assistants made an excellent job of constructing our conservatory. work was due to finish about 3 week into July. Our site manager M.was made redundant (we were not informed ) and for a period of some 6 weeks no workers on site,final details were not finished.
When the protective sheeting was removed from the existing floor it became apparent that considerable amounts of salts had been drawn out to the tiles and the appearance appalling. M saw this damage before he left and said the company would sort it out and send 2 workers to try to remove to no avail . J in the office organised for a specialist company quote to treat floor. When I rung her she said the quote was around £400 which would be no problem.On further investigation this amount was for materials with labour approx £1,800 more ,so she said she would have to seek authorisation from a director which he then refused .I have asked to speak to him to see is we can resolve this matter ; no contact whatsoever yet.I have booked specialist company to undertake the cleaning to avoid delay in our ability to use this area.Legal opinion received

Design and end product fantastic. From initial on-site consultation to build completion, it took just over 12 months. Definite room for improvement on communications both at the planning stage and from our contracts manager during the build. Lack of contact frequently led to unnecessary stress and we had to do a lot of chasing for updates. The build team - mainly Jason & Alex - were absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t fault either - went above & beyond to make sure everything was as required.

All of the people involved worked as a team and worked well with our builders as the brick columns,window and door openings were constructed by our own builders.This was very important as the orangery was obviously manufactured at the factory and needed to fit.

We are absolutely thrilled with the orangery that David Salisbury constructed for us. From beginning to end, their service was nothing short of exceptional.

Every detail of the orangery is reflective of the high-quality craftsmanship that David Salisbury is reputed for. The finish is immaculate, clearly showcasing the team's dedication and expertise. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality surpassed our expectations, resulting in a space that is not only beautiful, but also perfectly tailored to our needs.

David Salisbury's customer service was equally impressive. Their team was always available to address our questions and concerns, providing us with regular updates on progress. We felt valued as customers, and there was a clear sense of collaboration and shared enthusiasm for the project.

We could not be more pleased with our decision to choose David Salisbury. They have provided us with a gorgeous orangery that we will enjoy for many years to come. It is with full confidence that we give David Salisbury a 5-star review and would unreservedly recommend them to anyone considering a similar project. Their exemplary work truly speaks for itself!

We chose David Salisbury to design and build an Orangery, to maximise the full potential of a 19th century Cotswold Rectory. They created not just a very handsome and appropriate extension, but managed to obtain all the obligatory planning and Grade II Listed Building consents required due to its heritage and location in a conservation area and AONB. A huge bonus and no mean feat.

Every stage from concept to delivery was impressive. And all the communication throughout the project exemplary. The finished Orangery is classic and timeless in style, adding a bright capacious living space, highly flexible in use, that seamlessly connects the house to the surrounding terrace and gardens. Every one is thrilled with the result. And we thank and heartily recommend the whole David Salisbury team.

Really helpful and accessible team at all stages of building my conservatory, from design choices through to final inspection, and clear explanations of the process. The final product is beautifully constructed and looks fit to bring me joy throughout the year. I have only praise for a very professional job and high quality product, which met all my expectations from their achitect's original drawings.
