What should you know before starting in Codsall?
South Staffordshire Council handles planning in Codsall. 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.
- Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

Options to consider in Codsall
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Codsall?

Questions about conservatories in Codsall
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.
Which postcodes in Codsall do you work in?
We cover WV8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Codsall, neighbouring Perton and Tettenhall are covered too.
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.
Does South Staffordshire 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 Codsall is South Staffordshire Council.
