Despite reports of fluctuating consumer confidence, the latest figures from Leads 2 Trade show that extensions are still high on the homeowner wish-list.
Andy Royle, Director and co-founder of the UK’s leading provider of double-qualified sales leads in the home improvement sector, reveals a 10% increase in conservatory enquiries over April and May compared to the start of 2025 – and that, far from falling out of favour, the upward trend suggests that homeowner appetite for conservatories and home extensions remains robust.
“Consumer interest only seems to be gaining momentum in 2025,” explained Andy. “Not only are we seeing increased demand for new conservatories, but there’s been consistent interest in orangeries and extensions, despite wider market concerns.
“These are strong indicators that homeowners are still investing in ways to add space and value to their homes.”
Encouragingly for installers, the figures are holding steady year-on-year. “When we compare this year’s numbers to 2024, they are virtually identical,” said Andy. “There’s no sign of a slowdown, which is welcome news for the industry.”
The upward trend isn’t limited to new builds either. Leads 2 Trade is also seeing continued demand from homeowners upgrading existing conservatories with new roofs, aiming to improve insulation and usability.
“We’ve recorded a steady 5% increase in conservatory roof replacement enquiries since January,” Andy added. “That figure has grown with the warmer months, showing that homeowners are keen to make better use of their existing space.”
Leads 2 Trade is urging installers to capitalise on the demand by joining its Trusted Installer Network and receiving double-qualified leads in postcodes of their choice through the company’s appointment booking and hot key telephone transfer services to convert more enquiries into sales.
“Installers looking to grow their pipeline can tap into strong consumer demand by partnering with us,” added Andy. “It’s a golden opportunity to get in front of ready-to-buy homeowners and secure high-quality conservatory, roof replacement and orangery leads.”
