Which option fits your home?

Solid tiled replacement roof

A lightweight insulated roof system with tiles or slate-effect tiles outside and a plastered ceiling inside, often with spotlights. It keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer and cuts rain noise. The existing frames and base must be checked, and the work is notified to building control because the structure changes.

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.

What does your conservatory cost in Kingstanding?

Guide prices start at £3,500 and run to £22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: around £7,000–£10,500.

What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?

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.

Who approves conservatories in Kingstanding?

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