Before your conservatory in Hednesford

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.

Options to consider in Hednesford

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.

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.

Conservatories in Hednesford: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Hednesford?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Hednesford?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Hednesford is Cannock Chase District Council.
