Before your conservatory in Earlsdon
Coventry City Council handles planning in Earlsdon. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.
- The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
- 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 options suit homes in Earlsdon?
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.
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.

Before you book in Earlsdon
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 Earlsdon?
Yes. Earlsdon (CV5) is about 19 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.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Earlsdon?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Earlsdon is Coventry City Council.
