Conservatories in Coleshill

Planning your conservatory in Coleshill

North Warwickshire Borough Council handles planning in Coleshill. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.

On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.
Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

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.

Victorian or Edwardian conservatory

A Victorian conservatory has a faceted, rounded end and a steeper ridged roof; an Edwardian one is square or rectangular with a ridged roof. Both give more height and floor space than a lean-to. They suit semis and detached houses, and a dwarf brick wall can be matched to your existing brickwork.

Questions about conservatories in Coleshill

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.

Do you cover Coleshill?

Yes. Coleshill (B46) is about 12 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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Coleshill?

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