Before your conservatory in Nuneaton
Most conservatories and small porches can be built without planning permission or Building Regulations approval if they meet the size and separation rules, which we check before quoting. Where permission is needed in Nuneaton, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council handles it.
- On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.
- The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

Which options suit homes in Nuneaton?
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.
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.

Your questions answered
Should the doors between the house and conservatory stay?
If you want the conservatory to stay exempt from building regulations, yes. Removing them, or leaving the opening permanently open, means it must meet the full energy standards for an extension, which usually involves more insulation, glazing upgrades and an application. If you want an open-plan link, we'll talk through the extension route instead.
Which postcodes in Nuneaton do you work in?

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.
