Conservatories in Erdington

Before your conservatory in Erdington

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

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
Homes in Erdington within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.
Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.

Options to consider in Erdington

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.

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.

Conservatories in Erdington: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Erdington?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your conservatory and arrange a time to visit.

Should the doors between the house and conservatory stay?

If you want the conservatory to stay exempt from building regulations, yes. Removing them, or leaving the opening permanently open, means it must meet the full energy standards for an extension, which usually involves more insulation, glazing upgrades and an application. If you want an open-plan link, we'll talk through the extension route instead.

Will I need permission from the council in Erdington?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Erdington is Birmingham City Council.
