Planning your conservatory in Coseley
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 Coseley, Dudley Council handles it.
- Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
- Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
- On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

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.
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 Coseley?
Guide prices start at £3,500 and run to £22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: around £7,000–£10,500.

Before you book in Coseley
How much does it cost to replace a conservatory roof with a tiled roof?
For a typical conservatory of around 3.5 × 3 m, an insulated tiled roof usually costs about £7,000–£10,500 in the West Midlands, including removal of the old roof, the internal ceiling and building control. Larger or more complex shapes, frame reinforcement and spotlights add to that. A glass replacement roof costs less, typically from around £3,500.
Do you cover Coseley?
Yes. Coseley (WV14) is about 4 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.
Who approves conservatories in Coseley?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Coseley is Dudley Council.
