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.
| 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.

How much does it cost to replace a conservatory roof with a tiled roof?
For a typical conservatory of around 3.5 × 3 m, an insulated tiled roof usually costs about £7,000–£10,500 in the West Midlands, including removal of the old roof, the internal ceiling and building control. Larger or more complex shapes, frame reinforcement and spotlights add to that. A glass replacement roof costs less, typically from around £3,500.

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