Before your conservatory in Brierley Hill
Most conservatories and small porches can be built without planning permission or Building Regulations approval if they meet the size and separation rules, which we check before quoting. Where permission is needed in Brierley Hill, Dudley Council handles it.
- 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.
- Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Conservatories in Brierley Hill: 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.

What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?
The roof system, glazing and frames are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your products are set out in your quote. Building control issues a completion certificate for notified work, which you should keep with your house documents. Ask us about anything you'd like clarified before you sign.
Will I need permission from the council in Brierley Hill?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Brierley Hill is Dudley Council.
