Homeowners Sarah and Steven had an old, unloved conservatory that was in urgent need of attention. It had become little more than a dumping ground that was permanently closed off from the rest of their home and the couple wanted to create a new open plan space that could be used all year round. When looking at the traditional build route, things always seemed too complicated and expensive. However, when they came across the hup! building system everything changed!
hup! is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting to extend their home or transform an existing conservatory. Simple to order, incredibly fast to build, far more energy efficient than traditional builds, and with endless designs possible, building with hup! is a no-brainer.
The system offered the perfect solution to all of things associated with a traditional build that had put them off, such as spiralling costs, weather delays, too many trades to coordinate, long build times, lots of strangers in their home, mess and disruption – the list goes on. hup! builds are carried out by one small team, with Building Regulation red tape taken care of, and a super-fast build (five times faster than building with bricks and mortar) that is not affected by adverse weather. Costs are confirmed at the point of order and because hup! is pre-manufactured offsite, there is minimal mess and disruption. As hup! is so light, it is often possible to use an existing base which is what Sarah & Steven chose to do, saving time and money.
Once the build began, the core structure of walls and roof was in place by the end of day one and the structure was watertight by day three. The new lean-to Ultraroof was glazed with two full length glazed panels that bring in so much more natural light than the old polycarbonate roof and coupled with the large bi-fold door and full-length window, the couple’s light filled dream really started to take shape. The build continued to move quickly with the same small hup! team carrying out the electrical and other works and the entire project from start to finish was fully completed in just 14 days!
Commenting about their experience of a hup! build, Sarah said: “We knew that building with hup! is fast but seeing the build happen in just a few days was amazing. We couldn’t believe how warm it was – even before our radiator was fitted it was already as warm as the rest of our home! We removed the doors that used to separate the old conservatory from our kitchen and are delighted that we now have a stunning open plan extension that will totally change how we live in our home.”

MI Construction NW who undertook the build as their first ever hup! are equally delighted with the ease and results of using hup! for a transformation, with Director, Grant Proctor, commenting: “Now that I’ve discovered hup! I can’t wait to ditch my trowel!”
