Planning your conservatory in Bedworth
Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.
- Homes in Bedworth within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
- A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.

Options to consider in Bedworth
Hybrid roof with glazed panels
A solid insulated roof with built-in glazed panels or roof lights gives better insulation than glass while still letting daylight in from above. It's a sensible middle ground where a fully solid roof would make the room or the house behind it too dark. Building control requirements are the same as for a fully solid roof.
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.
How much should you budget in Bedworth?
Prices in Bedworth match the rest of our area: £3,500–£22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: usually £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.
Before you book in Bedworth
Can my existing conservatory take a heavier roof?
Many can, but not all. The vertical frames need enough reinforcement to carry the new roof, and the base and footings must be sound. We check for steel reinforcement in the frames and look for cracks or movement at survey. If extra support is needed, it's priced in your quote before you decide.
Do you cover Bedworth?
Yes. Bedworth (CV12) is about 22 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
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 Nuneaton and Bedworth 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 Bedworth is Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
