Conservatories in Willenhall

Before your conservatory in Willenhall

Walsall Council handles planning in Willenhall. Whether your conservatory needs an application depends on its size, height and position, so we measure it against the permitted development rules first.

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
Solar-control glass is a lighter alternative to a tiled roof if you want to keep the room bright.
Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

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.

Conservatories in Willenhall: common questions

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.

Which postcodes in Willenhall do you work in?

We cover WV12, WV13 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Willenhall, neighbouring Bilston and Wednesfield are covered too.

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.

Who approves conservatories in Willenhall?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Willenhall is Walsall Council.
