Choose From Our Extensive Range of Products
Victorian Conservatories
Victorian conservatories offer a timeless design with elegant detailing and a distinctive roof shape. They can be a particularly attractive choice when you want your new space to have a traditional character while providing additional light and living space.
ViewEdwardian Conservatories
With their clean lines and symmetrical design, Edwardian conservatories provide excellent usable floor space. Their straightforward layout makes them a versatile option for a wide range of homes.
ViewModern Glass Extensions
For a more contemporary appearance, a modern glazed extension can create a strong connection between your home and garden. Generous areas of glazing allow natural light to become a key feature of the space.
ViewOrangeries
An orangery provides a more substantial architectural feel while retaining the benefits of generous glazing. It can work particularly well as a dining area, family room, lounge or entertaining space.
ViewWarm Tiled Roofs
If you want your conservatory to feel more like a natural continuation of your home, a warm roof can provide improved insulation and a more solid interior finish. Our warm tiled roof solutions also work well when upgrading an existing conservatory, creating a more comfortable space for everyday use.

A Family Business Trusted Across Blandford Since 1969
David Fennings has been helping people transform their homes since 1969. What began as a local conservatory business has grown into a trusted name across Dorset for glazed extensions, warm tiled roofs, windows and doors, and we are still family-run and still working from the same showroom at Sunrise Business Park on the edge of Blandford Forum.
Blandford has been part of our patch from the very beginning, and our own team handles every stage of the job: the initial design and ideas, planning permission and baseworks, the full build, then the final touches like flooring, blinds and lighting. There are no sub-contracted crews, no hard sales and no gimmicks, just honest work and the same care whether it is a full orangery or a single new door.
If you would like to see the standard of finish before you commit, you are very welcome to visit us. There are several full conservatories on display with tiled floors, furniture, blinds and lighting, alongside an extensive range of aluminium, hardwood and uPVC systems. We are easy to find just off the A350, with ample parking.

Conservatories in Blandford and the Surrounding Area
Blandford has a real mix of properties, from period homes with genuine character to newer, more contemporary builds. A conservatory that works has to suit the house it’s attached to, not just look good in a brochure.
We take the proportions, materials, roof design and glazing options of your specific home into account, rather than offering one design across the board.
Whether you’re right in Blandford Forum or out in one of the surrounding Dorset villages, get in touch and we’ll talk through what would actually work for your property.
Why a conservatory adds value to a Bournemouth home
The Plocks
Georgian townhouses and listed shopfronts in the heart of Blandford Forum, rebuilt in brick and tile after the Great Fire of 1731. Homes here often sit inside the conservation area, so we work within local guidelines to keep sightlines, glazing bars and finishes true to the period.
Bryanston
Wide verges, mature trees and larger plots on the edge of town, close to Bryanston School and its parkland. The extra space here suits bigger orangery-style extensions with room to spare.
Stour Meadows & The Rotary Way
Footpaths and footbridges trace the River Stour from the Market Place out towards Bryanston, a reminder of how much of Blandford life still runs along the water. A popular route for an evening walk once the shops close.
Milldown Nature Reserve
Chalk grassland, woodland and a wildflower meadow a short walk from the town centre, with views out over the Blackmore Vale. A Green Flag site that's popular with dog walkers, families and anyone after a bit of quiet.
Blandford Forum's Georgian Market Place
Rebuilt in brick and tile by the Bastard brothers after the fire of 1731, the Market Place is one of the most complete Georgian townscapes in England. Proof of how long this town has cared about getting the details right.
Bryanston House
A Grade I listed mansion built by Norman Shaw in the 1890s, now home to Bryanston School, just outside town on the banks of the Stour. Proof that Dorset has never been shy about ambitious brickwork and glazing on a grand scale.
Whether you’re overlooking the water meadows from a spot near the Stour or catching the last of the light after a walk round Milldown, a well-designed conservatory lets you enjoy Blandford’s outlook in comfort all year round. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your home, your street and Dorset’s changeable weather.
What our customers say
Correspondence was great
David did my aluminium double glazed bi-folding doors at my house. The service from start to finish was superb. Correspondence was great. And the product is the best as my house backs on to the fleet at Weymouth where we get big south westerly winds carrying all the salt spray. They have been installed for 10 years now and operate and look new.
We can't recommend them enough
Fantastic service from David Fennings Conservatories, we can't recommend them enough. Highly professional service, friendly and reassuring from start to finish. The quality of our conservatory is great and even in the cold weather we have used it as a great addition to our house.
Just love it, thanks so much David Fennings
Our aluminium framed conservatory has now been up for 20 years and continues to give us as much pleasure as the day it was finished. We live in it for 90% of the year enjoying its warmth and sunshine during winter plus glorious outdoor style in summer. Just love it. Thanks so much David Fennings. A proper job that brings the Med lifestyle to Dorset.
We highly recommend them
This summer, we also have had fantastic service from David Fennings Conservatories, we highly recommend them. They were most responsive to our particular needs and we cannot fault the standard of workmanship. The quality of our conservatory is great and even in the cold weather we are using it as an everyday addition to our house.
Highly professional, knowledgeable and genuine
David is a highly professional, knowledgeable and genuine gentleman that does not hard-sell. David and his team use only the best materials for the job at hand and are very experienced at what they do. Our current large conservatory was installed originally by David and his team 24 years ago and still stands strong. I can highly recommend David Fennings Conservatories.
