Conservatories in Streetly

What should you know before starting in Streetly?

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 Walsall Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.

Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.
Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.
Homes in Streetly within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.

Which options suit homes in Streetly?

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.

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.

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.

Do you cover Streetly?

Yes. Streetly (B74) is about 6 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Does Walsall 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 Streetly is Walsall Council.
