What is a Double-Hipped Conservatory?

A standard conservatory relies on the existing property wall for height to support the roof. A double-hipped (or dual-hipped) conservatory solves the problem of low property walls by featuring a pitched roof that slopes upwards on both sides.

Instead of attaching directly flush to a high wall, the roof slopes back toward the property and connects using a highly efficient box gutter system. This ingenious design gives you the breathtaking, airy feel of a high vaulted ceiling, making it the ultimate solution for single-story homes.

The Ultimate Bungalow Solution: Perfectly designed to bypass height restrictions without compromising on internal headroom or architectural style.
Illusion of Maximum Space: The dual-pitch roof draws the eye upward, making even modest footprints feel incredibly spacious and bright.
Versatile Styling: Whether your home leans traditional or features a sleek, modern aesthetic, the symmetrical, elegant roofline of a double-hipped design enhances any property type.

The roof is the defining feature of a hipped conservatory, and we offer options to ensure your new room is usable 365 days a year:

Advanced Glass Roofs: Maximize natural light with energy-efficient, self-cleaning glass that reduces solar glare in the summer.

What is a double hipped conservatory?

A double hipped conservatory features pitched roofs on both sides of the structure, creating a symmetrical, detached appearance. It differs from a lean-to, which connects directly to the house wall. This style is well-suited to homes with height restrictions, such as bungalows.

Do I need planning permission for a double hipped conservatory?

In most cases, no. Double hipped conservatories typically fall under permitted development. However, it’s always best to check with your local authority or seek professional advice to confirm it applies to your property.

Can I customise the appearance of my double hipped conservatory?

Yes. You can personalise the design with a choice of roof types—glass, tiled or hybrid—as well as colour finishes including Chartwell Green, Golden Oak and Grey. Decorative details can also be tailored to match modern or traditional properties.

Will a double hipped conservatory make my home warmer?

Yes. With A-rated, multi-chambered uPVC frames and thermally efficient roofs, double hipped conservatories help retain heat. This reduces energy use and lowers your carbon footprint while making the space comfortable year-round.

Is a double hipped conservatory suitable for a bungalow?

Absolutely. The roof design works particularly well for bungalows and properties with low rooflines or window placements. It creates a bright, open space without breaching height restrictions or needing structural changes.

New Conservatory Roof

"Dream Installations recently completed a complete new conservatory roof for my 'P' shaped conservatory roof. The roof is a difficult shape and because of the large size needed two of the roof joists to be made stronger. All work was undertaken very quickly. I was very pleased with the excellent quality of the roof, the installation which was fitted without any problems, the roof fitted the conservatory exactly."

- Loyal Customer

I am so very pleased with the whole thing from initial telephone query to the end of installation and receipt of 10 year guarantee. Going forward would not use any other Company in the future but these guys."

Great job, well pleased

"The salesman was excellent, he listened to what we wanted observed what we had and made no attempt to upsell. He worked out the cost and listened to our needs as to a fitting date. A little later we got a definite date and prior to fitting a reminder phone call to confirm we were ready. The windows were fitted speedily were exactly what I wanted and for a fair price."

- Anne Neill

Great Team

"Dream Installations replaced the UPVC windows as part of a renovation project to a Victorian property, the team were conscientious and polite throughout. I've already recommended them a number of times and will continue to do so."
