Conservatories in Perton

What should you know before starting in Perton?

Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to South Staffordshire Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.

Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

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.

Glass replacement roof

Modern double-glazed roof panels with solar-control and self-cleaning coatings replace tired polycarbonate while keeping the room bright. It's a lighter change than a tiled roof, usually costs less and keeps the conservatory's character. It's a good choice if you mainly use the room in spring, summer and autumn and want daylight first.

How much should you budget in Perton?

Guide prices start at £3,500 and run to £22,000 depending on size and specification. Insulated tiled roof replacing polycarbonate on a 3.5 × 3 m conservatory: around £7,000–£10,500.

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 Perton do you work in?

We cover WV6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Perton, neighbouring Tettenhall and Codsall are covered too.

How long does a conservatory roof replacement take?

Most replacement roofs take three to seven days on site, depending on size and whether the frames need reinforcing. The roof is usually off and the new structure weathertight within a day or two, and the rest of the time goes on tiling, plastering and finishing. A new conservatory takes longer, usually two to four weeks.

Does South Staffordshire 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 Perton is South Staffordshire Council.
