What should you know before starting in Hall Green?
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 Hall Green, Birmingham City 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.
- The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
- Homes in Hall Green within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.

Which options suit homes in Hall Green?
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.
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.

Questions about conservatories in Hall Green
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.
Which postcodes in Hall Green do you work in?
We cover B28 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Hall Green, neighbouring Acocks Green and Shirley are covered too.
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 Hall Green?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Hall Green is Birmingham City Council.
