Conservatories in Great Wyrley

Before your conservatory in Great Wyrley

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 Great Wyrley, South Staffordshire Council handles it.

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.
On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

Choices to weigh up in Great Wyrley

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.

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.

Questions about conservatories in Great Wyrley

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.

Which postcodes in Great Wyrley do you work in?

We cover WS6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Great Wyrley, neighbouring Cheslyn Hay and Cannock are covered too.

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.

Who approves conservatories in Great Wyrley?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Great Wyrley is South Staffordshire Council.
