Which options suit homes in Perry Barr?

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.

What does your conservatory cost in Perry Barr?

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