FAQs

We get asked some similar questions regularly, here are some quick answers for you. Please get in touch with anything else you might like to ask.

White Cottage greenhouses combine a traditional painted-timber glasshouse with a maintenance-free aluminium roof system. This retains the character and proportions of period structures, while reducing the level of ongoing maintenance typically associated with timber buildings. Each greenhouse is manufactured in Cheshire, with both Signature and bespoke designs available depending on the requirements of the site.

White Cottage greenhouses combine painted Accoya® timber side frames with a powder-coated aluminium roof system. Accoya is selected for its stability and durability, and is well suited to the coating process used on all frames. The roof structure, glazing bars and vents are formed from aluminium extrusions, finished to complement the timber. All glazing is 4mm toughened glass, and fixtures such as hinges and door furniture are manufactured from brass or stainless steel.

Yes. Bespoke greenhouses form a significant part of what we do. Both Edwardian and Victorian specifications can be adapted to suit individual needs, whether that involves adjusting dimensions, incorporating specific features or responding to existing buildings and garden layouts. We work closely with each client to develop a design that’s appropriate to the setting, while maintaining the proportions and detailing associated with traditional greenhouse structures.

Yes. White Cottage delivers and installs greenhouses throughout mainland UK. Each structure is assembled on site by our own team, ensuring consistency between manufacture and installation. Projects outside mainland UK can also be accommodated, subject to location and access.

Lead times vary depending on the type of greenhouse and the stage of the project. Timescales are agreed once the design has been finalised, with installation arranged to suit the progress of the site works. For the most accurate indication of current lead times, we recommend enquiring at the time of ordering.

Our full queue of work fluctuates throughout the year but typically, there is a 6-8 week wait from confirmation of your walls* to delivery and installation of your greenhouse. We’ll discuss the delivery date with you at this stage and agree a mutually convenient day.
