Conservatories in Aldridge

Conservatories in Aldridge: approvals and local details

Walsall Council handles planning in Aldridge. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
Homes in Aldridge within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.
Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.

Options to consider in Aldridge

Solid tiled replacement roof

A lightweight insulated roof system with tiles or slate-effect tiles outside and a plastered ceiling inside, often with spotlights. It keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer and cuts rain noise. The existing frames and base must be checked, and the work is notified to building control because the structure changes.

Glass replacement roof

Modern double-glazed roof panels with solar-control and self-cleaning coatings replace tired polycarbonate while keeping the room bright. It's a lighter change than a tiled roof, usually costs less and keeps the conservatory's character. It's a good choice if you mainly use the room in spring, summer and autumn and want daylight first.

Before you book in Aldridge

How long does a conservatory roof replacement take?

Most replacement roofs take three to seven days on site, depending on size and whether the frames need reinforcing. The roof is usually off and the new structure weathertight within a day or two, and the rest of the time goes on tiling, plastering and finishing. A new conservatory takes longer, usually two to four weeks.

Which postcodes in Aldridge do you work in?

We cover WS9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Aldridge, neighbouring Rushall and Walsall Wood are covered too.

How much does it cost to replace a conservatory roof with a tiled roof?

For a typical conservatory of around 3.5 × 3 m, an insulated tiled roof usually costs about £7,000–£10,500 in the West Midlands, including removal of the old roof, the internal ceiling and building control. Larger or more complex shapes, frame reinforcement and spotlights add to that. A glass replacement roof costs less, typically from around £3,500.

Who approves conservatories in Aldridge?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Aldridge is Walsall Council.
