What should you know before starting in Tettenhall?
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 Tettenhall, City of Wolverhampton Council handles it.
- 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.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

Choices to weigh up in Tettenhall
Solid tiled replacement roof
A lightweight insulated roof system with tiles or slate-effect tiles outside and a plastered ceiling inside, often with spotlights. It keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer and cuts rain noise. The existing frames and base must be checked, and the work is notified to building control because the structure changes.
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.

Before you book in Tettenhall
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.
Which postcodes in Tettenhall do you work in?
We cover WV6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tettenhall, neighbouring Perton and Codsall are covered too.
What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?
The roof system, glazing and frames are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your products are set out in your quote. Building control issues a completion certificate for notified work, which you should keep with your house documents. Ask us about anything you'd like clarified before you sign.
Who approves conservatories in Tettenhall?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Tettenhall is City of Wolverhampton Council.
