Testimonial: Stephanie D WATERLOOVILLE, HANTS
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011I have never had such fantastic customer service, the service from Dream was exemplary. 
I cannot find one single fault with anything.
Stephanie D WATERLOOVILLE, HANTS 9th January
The service received from Dream was faultless , as was the product. Everything was A1.
Vince P NORTHWICH, CHESHIRE 10th January
The Rep you sent out was Martyn Dunford, He was a real nice person, he was extremely helpful and not pushy. I normally don’t like salesmen because they are so high pressure and pushy, trying so hard to get you to sign on the dotted line, but Martyn is none of these,That’s one of the reasons why I chose DREAM.
Phillip P TUFFLEY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 18th February
A big thank you for your prompt help and an excellent product . I will recommend Dream products to all my customers combined with the Instabuild system yours was the easiest and quickest installation I have ever done combined with limited mess and disruption, also your after sales and replacement service is second to none.
John L BRAINTREE, ESSEX 13th August
I would just like to write to you about your consultant Mike Collington. He’s really approachable and more importantly I didn’t feel pressured by him in anyway. He explained your products to me really well, and I felt that he was upfront and honest about the conservatory he was selling to me. He’s a genuinely good man, and it was a pleasure to meet him.
Thank you very much for all your help.

The service you gave was first class, also the factory was first class. We had a minor problem and it was sorted immediately. I would recommend you to anyone. We were dealt with in a very courtious and professional manner. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank-you all very much indeed.
A Morris AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND 3rd September
I am delighted with the end result of a new conservatory built on the Instabuild system that has given me a larger than expected unit with an attractive pitched roof that was constructed in 3 days at an attractive and affordable price. I was particularly pleased with the ability to install all the wiring and other services within the system as it was constructed, so there were no add ons after it was completed.
The conservatory is used as an office, occasional dining room and a restful sunroom and is an integral part of my home, and has brought me immense pleasure.

What Are Your Options With Modern DIY Conservatories?
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010What exactly do we mean by modern DIY conservatories? It is a very vague term, because what one person deems as being thoroughly modern the next person might think is fairly ordinary. So a lot of it is in the eye of the person who views the finished product.
The vast majority of conservatory styles that are modern in nature are really much the same as traditional conservatories. Victorian and Edwardian styles definitely hark back to other times, but the orangery and the P shaped conservatory are rather more obscure. They could relate either to times gone by or modern times, depending on which way you look at it.
Quite often a modern DIY conservatory is one that has been constructed out of modern materials. Instead of being made from hardwood it will be made from uPVC. This simple difference is often what people mean by modern or traditional.
Some companies are striking out in a new direction and creating DIY conservatories that are very modern in design however. These kinds of conservatories are very modern and stylish and very unlike the normal kinds of designs and shapes you are used to.
There has also been a move in the direction of glass rooms rather than standard designs. The more glass that is used, the more you feel as if you are outside. This is the look some designers are going for.
If you think of an orangery design, this appeals very well to the use of more glass. Some of these have lots of glass included in them, while others make better use of higher walls to help create the illusion of another room rather than a conservatory.
Some of these designs have the walls going almost all the way up to the roof. There are then some narrow windows running along the length of each elevation, with these and the roof letting in more light.
Skylights are also good for modern DIY conservatory designs. They let heat out and fresh air in, and help to aerate and lighten a conservatory which relies on solid walls more than it would traditionally.
Finally you have to think about the use of bi-fold doors rather than traditional patio doors. These allow you to open up virtually one whole wall to the garden, rather than simply opening up a set of double doors. This compensates for having more walls than you would ordinarily, and it defines many of the modern conservatory designs you will see today.
It very much depends on your own personal tastes and indeed your budget as to whether you opt for this kind of DIY conservatory. It might be just what you are looking for.
