Options to consider in Tile Hill
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.
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.
What does your conservatory cost in Tile Hill?
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.

Conservatories in Tile Hill: common questions
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.
Do you cover Tile Hill?
Yes. Tile Hill (CV4) is about 19 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.
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.
Does Coventry City 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 Tile Hill is Coventry City Council.
