What should you know before starting in Meriden?
Solihull Council handles planning in Meriden. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
- Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
- The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.
What does your conservatory cost in Meriden?
For a home in Meriden, our guide range is £3,500–£22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: usually £7,000–£10,500.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Glass roof replacement | £3,500 – £7,000 | Solar-control glass on your existing frames |
| Solid tiled roof replacement | £6,500 – £12,000 | Insulated roof with plastered ceiling |
| New conservatory | £10,000 – £22,000 | Lean-to, Victorian or Edwardian, with base and walls |
Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
Before you book in Meriden
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.
Do you cover Meriden?
Yes. Meriden (CV7) is about 16 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?
The roof system, glazing and frames are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your products are set out in your quote. 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.
Does Solihull Council need to approve my conservatory?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Meriden is Solihull Council.
