Before your conservatory in Leamington Spa
Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to Warwick District Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.
- Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
- Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
- Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.
