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 Southampton Since 1969
David Fennings has been helping people transform their homes since 1969. What began as a local conservatory business in Dorset has grown into a trusted name across the wider region, including Southampton, 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.
We travel out to Southampton and the surrounding area for the right projects, 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 just off the A350 in Blandford, with ample parking, and it’s a straightforward drive from Southampton.

Conservatories in Southampton and the Surrounding Area
Southampton has a real mix of properties, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the city centre and the Common to larger suburban homes further out. 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.
Wherever you are in Southampton, get in touch and we’ll talk through what would actually work for your property.
Why a Conservatory Adds Value to a Southampton Home
Bassett
A leafy northern suburb close to Southampton Common, known for larger inter-war and period homes on generous plots. The extra garden space here often suits a bigger orangery-style extension.
Highfield
Victorian and Edwardian streets near the university and Southampton Common, popular with families wanting more space without moving far from the city centre.
Southampton Common
365 acres of woodland, parkland and lakes just north of the city centre, one of the largest urban parks in the country. A short walk from Bassett and Highfield alike.
Mayflower Park
A waterfront park on Southampton Water, built in the 1930s and still the city's only central park by the water. It hosts the Southampton International Boat Show every September and gives some of the best views of ships coming and going from the docks.
The Bargate
A Grade I listed medieval gatehouse dating from around 1180, once the main entrance to the walled city and still standing in the city centre today. One of the most complete medieval town gateways in Britain.
Southampton's Titanic Story
The Titanic departed from Southampton's Ocean Dock on 10 April 1912, and much of her crew were local residents, a history the city still marks through memorials and the SeaCity Museum. Proof of how deeply the sea runs through this city's identity.
Whether you’re closer to Southampton Common or down by the water at Mayflower Park, a well-designed conservatory lets you enjoy Southampton’s outlook in comfort all year round. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your home, your street and the local 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.
