Options to consider in Cradley Heath

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.

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.

Before you book in Cradley Heath

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.

Which postcodes in Cradley Heath do you work in?

We cover B64 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Cradley Heath, neighbouring Netherton and Lye are covered too.

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.

Does Sandwell 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 Cradley Heath is Sandwell Council.
