IcoRoom Extensions

IcoRoom extensions are built in weeks, not months. Thanks to off-site manufacturing and precision engineering, a typical IcoRoom extension in Bath or Bristol can be completed in 2-4 weeks depending on size and complexity. This is up to 3 times faster than traditional brick and mortar construction. The off-site manufacturing means weather delays are minimal, and on-site work is streamlined and efficient. Foundation work typically takes 3-5 days, the structure arrives pre-manufactured and is erected in days, followed by internal finishing. This rapid construction minimises disruption to your home and family life whilst delivering a superior final product.

Many IcoRoom extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission, subject to certain size and location criteria. However, properties in Bath's conservation areas, listed buildings, or where permitted development rights have been removed will typically need planning permission. IcoRoom extensions can be finished to match any architectural style, making them suitable even for sensitive planning areas. We conduct an initial assessment during consultation to determine planning requirements for your specific property and location. If planning permission is required, we can recommend experienced local architects and guide you through the application process. Building Regulations approval is always required for IcoRoom extensions, but as our systems are fully engineered and comply with all regulations, this is typically straightforward.

IcoRoom extensions deliver exceptional thermal performance that significantly outperforms traditional construction. Wall u-values can be as low as 0.111W/m2K and roof u-values as low as 0.12W/m2K - far exceeding Building Regulations requirements. This superior insulation means your IcoRoom extension stays warm in winter and cool in summer, with dramatically reduced heating and cooling costs. The fully ventilated wall system prevents condensation and moisture issues whilst maintaining thermal efficiency. Unlike traditional conservatories that are too hot in summer and freezing in winter, IcoRoom extensions create genuinely comfortable living space year-round. The advanced thermal performance also contributes to your property's EPC rating, making your Bath or Bristol home more energy-efficient and valuable.

Yes, converting an existing conservatory into an IcoRoom extension is one of the most popular applications for our system. Many Bath and Bristol homeowners have conservatories that are too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and don't add value to their property. An IcoRoom conversion transforms this underused space into a valuable, year-round living area. The process typically involves removing the existing conservatory structure (the base and walls are often retained if suitable), installing the insulated IcoWall system and IcoRoof, and creating a properly insulated, habitable extension. This conversion usually qualifies as permitted development if the footprint doesn't change. The result is a space that looks and performs like a traditional extension but is built in a fraction of the time and often at lower cost.

IcoRoom extensions offer complete flexibility in external finishes to match your Bath or Bristol home perfectly. Popular options include smooth or textured render in any colour, timber or composite cladding for contemporary aesthetics, brick slips that provide an authentic brick appearance indistinguishable from traditional brickwork, natural stone for period properties, or mixed finishes combining materials for architectural interest. The IcoWall system is designed to accommodate all these finish types, and because it's structurally superior to traditional construction, you have even more design freedom. We work with you to select finishes that complement your existing property, meet any planning requirements, and achieve your aesthetic vision. All finishes are applied to the same high standards and backed by appropriate warranties.
