Conservatories in Brownhills

Before your conservatory in Brownhills

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 Brownhills, Walsall Council handles it.

Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.
Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
Homes in Brownhills within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Before you book in Brownhills

Should the doors between the house and conservatory stay?

If you want the conservatory to stay exempt from building regulations, yes. Removing them, or leaving the opening permanently open, means it must meet the full energy standards for an extension, which usually involves more insulation, glazing upgrades and an application. If you want an open-plan link, we'll talk through the extension route instead.

Do you cover Brownhills?

Yes. Brownhills (WS8) is about 8 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.

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 Brownhills?

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