Conservatories in Coventry

Before your conservatory in Coventry

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 Coventry, Coventry City Council handles it.

The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
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.

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.

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.

Expect to budget between £3,500 and £22,000 depending on size and specification in Coventry. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: typically £7,000–£10,500.

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.

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.

Does Coventry City 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 Coventry is Coventry City Council.
