Conservatories in Netherton

Before your conservatory in Netherton

Dudley Council handles planning in Netherton. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.

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.
Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Netherton?

Expect to budget between £3,500 and £22,000 depending on size and specification in Netherton. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: typically £7,000–£10,500.
