Conservatories in Wollaston

Before your conservatory in Wollaston

Dudley Council handles planning in Wollaston. 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.
The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
Homes in Wollaston within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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 Wollaston: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Wollaston?

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.

Who approves conservatories in Wollaston?

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