Conservatories in Staffordshire

What should you know before starting in Staffordshire?

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 Staffordshire, the district or borough council for your town handles it.

Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
Old conservatory frames may need extra reinforcement before they can carry a solid roof.
On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

Options to consider in Staffordshire

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Staffordshire?

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

Questions about conservatories in Staffordshire

Will I still be able to use the house while the work is done?

Yes. Work is confined to the conservatory and the garden side of the house. The doors between the house and the conservatory stay shut while the roof is off, so the rest of your home stays secure and weathertight. You'll need to clear the conservatory of furniture before we start.

How do I book a survey in Staffordshire?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your conservatory and arrange a time to visit.

Can my existing conservatory take a heavier roof?

Many can, but not all. The vertical frames need enough reinforcement to carry the new roof, and the base and footings must be sound. We check for steel reinforcement in the frames and look for cracks or movement at survey. If extra support is needed, it's priced in your quote before you decide.

Will I need permission from the council in Staffordshire?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Staffordshire is the district or borough council for your town.
