Whether you’re adding a new conservatory or looking to replace an older one, we’ll help you explore the options and find an approach that works for your home.
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 Poole 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, including Poole, 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.
Poole has been part of our wider Dorset patch for years, 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 Poole and the Surrounding Area
Poole has a real mix of properties, from the waterfront homes around the harbour and Sandbanks to more traditional streets further into town. 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. Homes closer to the water often need frames, glazing and hardware specified for salt air and exposure, and we can advise on that as part of the design.
Wherever you are in Poole, from the harbourside out to the surrounding villages, get in touch and we’ll talk through what would actually work for your property.
Why a Conservatory Adds Value to a Poole Home
Sandbanks
A narrow peninsula between Poole Harbour and the open sea, consistently ranked among the most expensive stretches of real estate in the world. Waterfront homes here often call for frames, glazing and hardware specified for salt air and constant sea exposure.
Canford Cliffs
A clifftop residential area with larger inter-war and period homes on mature, well-established plots. Home to Compton Acres, it's an area where a bigger orangery-style extension has room to breathe.
Compton Acres
Ten acres of themed gardens in Canford Cliffs, including an Italian garden and an authentic Japanese garden, laid out in the 1920s with views over Poole Harbour. Proof of how long this area has valued ambitious, well-built outdoor spaces.
Poole Park
110 acres of Victorian parkland by the harbour, opened in 1890 and still one of the most-used green spaces in the town. A short walk, cycle or paddle from most of central Poole.
Poole Harbour
One of the largest natural harbours in the world, and the reason the town exists where it does. It shapes daily life here, from the views some homeowners want to keep to the salt air their glazing has to withstand.
Brownsea Island
A National Trust island in the middle of the harbour, and the birthplace of the worldwide Scouting movement after Robert Baden-Powell's first camp there in 1907. Now a sanctuary for one of the UK's few surviving red squirrel populations.
Whether you’re watching the boats come into Poole Harbour or spending an afternoon at Compton Acres, a well-designed conservatory lets you enjoy Poole’s outlook in comfort all year round. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your home, your street and the coastal climate.
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.
