What should you know before starting in Atherstone?
North Warwickshire Borough Council handles planning in Atherstone. 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.
- Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.
- On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

Which option fits your home?
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.
Lean-to conservatory
A simple rectangle with a single sloping roof running down from the house wall. Lean-tos are the most affordable style, work under low eaves and on bungalows, and make good use of a narrow garden. The plain shape is also the easiest to furnish, and it's often the right choice for a dining or sitting space.
What does your conservatory cost in Atherstone?
Guide prices start at £3,500 and run to £22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: around £7,000–£10,500.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Glass roof replacement | £3,500 – £7,000 | Solar-control glass on your existing frames |
| Solid tiled roof replacement | £6,500 – £12,000 | Insulated roof with plastered ceiling |
| New conservatory | £10,000 – £22,000 | Lean-to, Victorian or Edwardian, with base and walls |
Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
Conservatories in Atherstone: common questions
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 Atherstone do you work in?
We cover CV9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Atherstone, neighbouring Polesworth and Nuneaton are covered too.
Will I still be able to use the house while the work is done?
Yes. Work is confined to the conservatory and the garden side of the house. The doors between the house and the conservatory stay shut while the roof is off, so the rest of your home stays secure and weathertight. You'll need to clear the conservatory of furniture before we start.
Does North Warwickshire Borough Council need to approve my conservatory?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Atherstone is North Warwickshire Borough Council.
