Design & Engineering
We are experts when it comes to building commercial glasshouses, able to deliver anything from simple to turnkey glasshouse solutions to growers, nurseries, and garden centres all over the UK.
With over 40 years of experience in commercial glasshouse engineering and construction, and with an ever-evolving stock of thousands of new and used greenhouse spare parts and fixings, we have all the skills, expertise, and equipment to design and build your structure from start to finish.
We specialise in the design and construction of Venlo and Widespan glasshouses, but we are skilled in building any type of greenhouse. Our aim is to help growers and garden centre professionals be as efficient as possible in the increasingly competitive and costly horticultural industry, providing greenhouses that maximise production and minimise energy consumption.
The Dutch Connection
We operate primarily in the UK, but due to our inherent Dutch connection and the quality-driven horticulture sector in Europe, we import most of our materials from our trusted horticulture retailers in the Netherlands.
Our great relationships with reputable international suppliers ensure we only import the highest standard of materials to carry out the building, repair, and maintenance of glasshouses all around the UK.
What to Expect from GVZ When You Get in Touch
We routinely construct, deconstruct, redesign and rebuild commercial greenhouses, so you can trust our experienced team of engineers.
GET IN TOUCH
It all begins with an initial conversation where we’ll make sure to ask all the right questions to get us started on designing the build of your commercial glasshouse. It’s essential we get as much information as possible so that we can build the glasshouse structure that meets more than just your current requirements; we always try to make sure you’re set-up and ready for planned expansions in the future, too.
ARRANGE A SITE VISIT
A lot can be done over the phone and email, but there’s nothing like face-to-face contact with our customers. We’ll book a site visit and come and see you and your commercial nursery or garden centre wherever you’re located in the UK to discuss your requirements in person. We prefer coming to site and, depending on the job, we may carry out more than one visit, to make sure we have all the information we need to provide you with a quote for your horticultural construction project.
RECEIVE A QUOTE
Once we have all the information, we’ll get back to you with a quote, which includes a comprehensive list of parts required and associated costs. Lead times on quotes will vary depending on the job. If we’re designing your glasshouse hot water pipe heating system, for example, our heating specialists will need a couple of weeks to complete their in-depth design and drawings. Every job is different, but we’ll do a thorough one from quote to design to build and keep you updated at all times.
Turnkey Glasshouse Solutions
We deliver turnkey glasshouse projects to give you a move-in-ready, fully operational growing space, complete with all systems and solutions. Our turnkey greenhouse solutions will ensure we’re your primary point of contact, so you don’t have to worry about liaising with multiple third-party contractors; we’ll execute everything from start to finish.
We will design, build, and deliver your commercial greenhouse with all integrated systems in place and provide the necessary aftercare and maintenance services to keep you in business long into the future. We’ll manage everything in-house and provide only top-quality turnkey glasshouses.
From greenhouse layout to temperature control systems to energy efficient design work, with GVZ you’re only a stone’s throw away from being fully operational from the start.
Commercial Retail, Warehouse, Packing House, and Leisure Spaces
In addition to designing and constructing complete commercial greenhouses we routinely build new commercial retail, warehouse, and leisure spaces for the UK horticulture sector.
We specialise in transforming former glasshouses into professional-looking commercial spaces, allowing you to recycle your previous investment to achieve the new structure you want.
In close collaboration with our Dutch partners at WNL Horti Insulation, we create efficient, durable, and well-insulated commercial spaces using Sandwich Panels. Not only can these sandwich panels replace glasshouse roofs to turn your growing space into a 100% leak-proof commercial space, but there’s a wide range of side panels and facades available in lots of different colours to create a commercial building that suits your aesthetic and looks as new.
Bespoke Greenhouse Solutions
We design and engineer Venlo glasshouses, widespan glasshouses, polycarbonate greenhouses, and complete garden centre structures, but common structures and sizes don’t fit all. We are always up for bespoke projects.
We can design and build bespoke greenhouse structures for commercial growers, research facilities, and large garden spaces to create the perfect aesthetic environment for your plant stock.
We Stock Thousands of Commercial Glasshouse Parts
GVZ Glasshouses specialises in more than commercial horticulture construction. We are one of the leading suppliers of glasshouse, ventilation, heating, drainage, irrigation, and machinery parts in the UK.
Our warehouse stocks thousands of parts from only the best suppliers in the UK and the Netherlands, including those hard-to-find parts that have long been discontinued elsewhere. Our ability to deliver greenhouse parts and systems goes beyond our online product catalogue.
It’s always best to get in touch when you can’t find what you’re looking for, because we can source anything you need through our trusted horticultural parts suppliers. Whether you’re looking for heating parts, ventilation parts, glasshouse fixings, horticultural machinery, or more, we can supply the greenhouse parts you need.
